Ask anyone who has walked through the doors at 1006 E 2nd St and they will tell you the same thing: the people here make it. Rated 4.7 stars by members and guests alike, Sanford Elks Lodge #1241 has earned its reputation not through marketing, but through decades of showing up for veterans, families, and neighbors across Seminole County.

The lodge is especially known for its commitment to those who served. Guests regularly note that veterans are treated with genuine respect and appreciation here, not as an afterthought but as a cornerstone of everything the lodge does. From the Swing 4 Veterans golf tournament held at Mayfair Country Club to post-event meals at the lodge itself, every activity is designed to give back to the community in a meaningful, tangible way.

Sanford is a city with deep roots and a growing future, and Lodge #1241 sits right at that intersection. Whether you are a longtime Elk, a curious neighbor, or a veteran looking for a place that truly gets it, you will find a room full of people who are genuinely glad you walked in.

What We Offer

Lodge #1241 hosts a rotating calendar of events that keep members engaged and the community connected. The Swing 4 Veterans golf tournament is one of the signature annual events, drawing players to Mayfair Country Club for a full day of golf followed by a hearty meal back at the lodge. It is the kind of day that people talk about long after the scorecards are in.

Beyond the marquee events, the lodge offers a comfortable social hall for gatherings, a welcoming bar and dining area, and meeting spaces used by civic and charitable groups throughout the year. Members also benefit from the national Elks network, which includes scholarship programs, youth initiatives, and veteran services that extend well beyond Sanford.

Membership in BPOE Lodge #1241 opens doors to a fraternal community built on the four cardinal virtues: charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. New members and guests are always welcome to attend open events and see what the lodge is about before committing.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.
