Newport Elks Lodge No. 104
The Current Lodge
Our mission, our officers, and the spirit of Newport #104 today.
Founding Principles
Newport Lodge No. 104 lives by the four cardinal principles of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks: Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. As a 501(c)(8) fraternal nonprofit, we are committed to enhancing the welfare and happiness of our members, promoting American patriotism, fostering good fellowship, and giving back to the community we've called home since 1888.
Through scholarships, youth programs, veterans' services, and charitable initiatives, we put our motto into practice every day: Elks Care, Elks Share.
