About Us

Exterior view of West Citrus Elks Lodge #2693 entrance.

On S Suncoast Blvd in Homosassa, there is a place where a stranger can walk in, ask for directions, and leave feeling like a neighbor. That is not a marketing line. It is what actually happened, according to the people who have walked through the door. West Citrus Elks Lodge #2693 has earned a 4.5-star reputation not through advertising, but through the kind of hospitality that makes people stop and write about it.

The Lodge is serious about service. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks ranks second only to the U.S. federal government in scholarship money awarded nationally, and Lodge #2693 carries that mission locally, funding education for Citrus County students who need it. Members also make regular visits to veterans living in local nursing homes, making sure no one who served this country sits forgotten. Events like the Purple Heart breakfast on August 7, 2023, honoring veterans and Purple Heart recipients, are the kind of moments that define what this place actually is.

If you have been looking for a community that does more than socialize, this is it. The socializing is real and the people are genuinely warm, but the work running underneath it is what gives the Lodge its purpose.

What We Offer

Lodge #2693 offers members a full calendar of events, from ceremonial dinners and holiday gatherings to weekly social nights at the clubhouse bar and lounge. The kitchen fires up regularly for breakfasts, dinners, and special commemorative meals that draw both members and guests from across Citrus County.

Beyond the social calendar, the Lodge runs active charitable programs: scholarship awards for local students, veteran outreach visits to area nursing homes, and fundraising events that put dollars directly back into the Homosassa community. New and prospective members are welcomed with a straightforward initiation process and a membership structure that gives immediate access to the Lodge's facilities, events, and fraternal network.

The building itself serves as a venue for private events, organizational meetings, and community functions. Whether you are a longtime Elk transferring from another lodge or a first-time visitor curious about membership, the door on S Suncoast Blvd is an easy one to walk through.

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.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
