Ballard Elks Paddling Club

Welcome to Ballard Elks Lodge 827 — a social and charitable group that strives to make a difference in our community and beyond. We bring people together in all kinds of ways, from our weekly paddle club to bingo games, trivia, cribbage and car shows. It’s all in the name of fun and fundraising, benefiting veteran’s groups, youth programs, the Ballard Food Bank, and more. Come down and visit us on the shores of Shilshole Bay or at www.ballardelks.org
