Greetings from our Grand Lodge Sponsor

"Welcome to the website of the Kentucky Elks Association.

As you browse through the topics and articles on this site, you will get a real sense of "Who the Kentucky Elks Are and What We Do," which can be summarized in the Elks Motto "Elks Care - Elks Share". As State Sponsor, I am extremely proud to say that Kentucky is one of the leading States in all of Elkdom. With 16 Lodges and over 5,600 Members located throughout the State, and roots that date back to 1868, the Kentucky Elks offer a myriad of programs and projects to serve our youth, veterans and local communities. We are also a very social organization that offers a variety of activities in our Lodges for our Members and guests, and that bring community groups into our Lodges for recognition and to celebrate special occasions. All of these programs, projects and activities help prove that the Kentucky Elks are a valuable partner for the community, and, in turn, helps support our growth and community outreach.

"Enjoy your time on this website as you discover how Kentucky Elks demonstrate our "Elks Pride and Community Focus"."

Ronald L. Hicks, PGER/State Sponsor
