Our History – Our Future<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honoring Our Past \u2022 Riding Toward Our Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the history of the Elks Riders Association, several approved patch designs have proudly represented members who served their Lodges, communities, and charities. Each patch reflects the dedication, fellowship, and pride of the members who wore it, and each has played an important role in shaping the Association we are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As our Association continues to grow from coast to coast, the blue and white patch has become our shared symbol of unity and recognition. While honoring the history and traditions of every chapter, it provides a consistent identity that reflects one Association, one purpose, and one commitment to serving our Lodges and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our history is not defined by one patch, but by the people who wore them. By honoring our past and embracing a shared future, we continue building a stronger Elks Riders Association for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honoring our past. United in the present. Riding together toward the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Association vs. Motorcycle Club<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people ask what makes Elks Riders different<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are NOT a Motorcycle Club (MC).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are NOT a Riding Club (RC).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ARE an Elks Riders Association<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated to serving our Lodges, our communities, and the principles of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our organization exists to support the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks through fellowship, community service, charitable giving, patriotism, and a shared love of the open road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every member is an Elk first. Our mission is to strengthen our Lodges, serve our communities, support veterans and youth programs, and build lifelong friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elks Lodge First. Riders Second. United by Service.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Connected by the Open Road.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
