WELCOME TO GATEWAY LODGE

We are honored to have you visit our website. We hope that you will take the time to explore the site and to gain an understanding of what it is to be a modern member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Find out who we are, what we are, what we do and how you might become one of us!
The Order of Elks is distinctly American. It is a national, charitable organization founded on the principals of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity.  Here in Oregon our two primary charities are the Meadowwood Summer Camp for Hearing and Speech Impared Kids and the Elks Childrens' Eye Clinic, part of the Oregon Health and Science University.  Through the Elks National Foundation, which is the charitable arm of the Order, we offer five national scholarship programs.  We also offer Youth programs such as the Elks Drug Awareness Program and the Elks National Hoop Shoot Free Throw Contest and Veterans Services such as the Elks National Veterans Service Commission and a grant to maintain the Elks Veterans Memorial in Chicago.

Our Lodge here in Portland is just one of many across the United States, all committed to the same goals. As a member of the Order, you are welcome in any of the over 2100 such Lodges from Alaska to Florida.  A definite plus if you’re traveling for business or pleasure as Elks tend to treat each other like extended family.

We hope that after viewing our site you may have a better understanding of today’s Elks and you may even be interested in joining our Order and helping us with our worthy causes. And lest you think we are all work and no play, take a look at our Photo Gallery, our Lodge Calendar and our Entertainment Section!  And check back often! The site is on-going and new photos and articles will be posted frequently.

If you're in our area, please drop in and ask for a tour of our Lodge.  Visitors are always welcome.  And if you're anywhere else in the country, check the phone book and contact the Lodge nearest you.

NEW WAY TO ASSIST MEADOWOOD!

Meadowood Springs Speech and Hearing Camp is a major charitable project of the Oregon State Elks Association and its subordinate lodges.  This camp would not be possible without the Elks' dedication and commitment to helping children 6 to 16 years of age with speech, language and hearing challenges.

AND NOW YOU CAN HELP TOO!

eScrip has partnered with local businesses and major credit card companies to donate a percentage of your purchases to your favorite charity...every time you use your card!  
eScrip is proven to be a fantastic resource for fundraising where participating business partners contribute a percentage of your grocery loyalty cards, credit card, and debit/ATM card purchases to the school, group or organization of your choice.  Now you can sign up for this fanrtastic service to help support Meadowood Springs Speech and Hearing Camp!
And it is so easy!
Simply go online to eScrip.com and select "Group ID".  Enter the number 500016104 for Meadowood Springs Speech-Hearing Camp and then fill out the rest of the registration form and you're done!  Within about a week, every time you use the cards you indicate on the registration, Meadowood will recieve a percentage of the amount.  And, with your eScrip account, you can track your purchases and your donations to Meadowood!

You can also download the form by clicking HERE, fill it out and mail it in.  This method takes about 6-8 weeks processing time.
