A Close-Knit Community

While Mojave Elks Lodge is considered a smaller lodge by size, this only enhances the sense of community and camaraderie among our members. The area surrounding Mojave, home to leading-edge companies like Mojave Spaceport, Scaled Composites, Golden Queen Mining, and Edwards Air Force Base, draws people from all over the country, making our lodge a vibrant mix of professionals from diverse backgrounds. Many of our members don’t live in the immediate area but still choose to be part of our lodge, thanks to the strong bond we share.

In addition, the Pete Knight Veterans Home, located just down the road, provides a place of honor and care for some of America’s finest veterans. This local connection to both industry and the military adds a sense of pride and patriotism to our lodge community.
