​

The purpose of the Ladies of Elks is to join together to promote fellowship and friendships as we plan and carry out projects that benefit the members of this organization, the Brandon Elks Lodge, and the community and charities that we strive to support.

​

Among the charities and civic projects we support are the following:

• Florida Elks Children's Therapy Services, Inc.

• Scholarship Fund

• Christmas Assistance for Families in Need

• E.C.H.O (Emergency Care Help Organization)

• Nativity Catholic Church Food Pantry

• Resurrection Catholic Church Food Pantry

• Florida Elks Youth Camp

• Elks National Foundation

• Everyday Blessings

​

To raise funds to support our charities and civic projects, the Ladies plan and promote social events.  Among the events we have held this year are a Spring Brunch, a Horse Race event to coincide with the Derby, a Las Vegas Casino Night event, Christmas in July, and Disco Night. Several of these events were open to the public.

 

For our Lodge members, the Ladies host a Wednesday night dinner once a month.  We also host a Sunday breakfast once a month, which is open to the public.    

​

In addition, we help the Brandon Elks Lodge with its various social, civic, and charitable projects.  In fact, the Ladies Organization has been able assist the Lodge in resurfacing our parking lot by giving them the money to start this much-needed project now. 

             

To finish out the year, the Ladies have planned a Halloween event, a Trunk or Treat for the children of our community, a Car and Craft show, a Breakfast with Santa, and in February we are planning a Red and Black Ball.

​

The BLOE hosts monthly breakfast buffet and other open to the public events and support our community through various initiatives.
