Summary

On September 25, 2021, Beaver Island Forum members welcomed what they described as a new Elks lodge on the island.

Evidence limits

The posts are an early community trace of the lodge’s presence, not proof of a formal charter, opening ceremony, lodge number, or operating location.

Sources

  1. Two near-duplicate posts welcomed the Elks and referred to a “new lodge.” They are treated as one participant source stream; the posts do not identify the lodge number, opening date, location, officers, or formal charter.

  2. A second near-duplicate welcome post said the writer might travel from the south end for the new lodge and mentioned cheaper beer prices. This is community reaction, not an institutional announcement.
