On behalf of the New Mexico Elks Association, I welcome you to our website. I encourage you to browse around and learn more about our 23 Lodges consisting of over 10,000 members. Click on the newsletter section and enjoy the bulletins from the Lodges to see what might interest you.
Our state major project is Cerebral Palsy, helping kids to walk without assistance. We have a strong relationship with the renowned Carrie Tingley Hospital in Albuquerque, where we provide our assistance with "Walkable" devices for use in therapy and training with health care professionals. Since 1951, the New Mexico Elks have been leading the charge to provide funding for this most worthy program.
Our Ritual Program has become one of the top programs in our Organization. New Mexico has produced a National Ritual Champion and numerous second and third place teams over the past ten years, allowing New Mexico to be listed among the top Ritual States in the nation.
The state capital, Santa Fe, is home to the Palace of the Governors, the oldest continually occupied public building in the United States, erected in the early 17th century. Albuquerque, the largest city, hosts the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the most photographed event in the world, where over 700 hot air, gas and special shapes balloons gather every October. New Mexico is truly unique with its varying climates and topography, beautiful sunsets and picturesque mountains, visit us and you’ll understand why we are "The Land of Enchantment". From our early beginnings as a Territory under Spanish rule to our evolution as a leader in technological, medical and defense research, the citizens of New Mexico have left "No Stone Unturned". Many of the 23 Lodges in our state are located in some of the most historical settings, from the caverns in Carlsbad, through the alien city of Roswell, across the White Sands of Alamogordo and follow old Route 66 from Tucumcari through Albuquerque and Gallup. My wife, Tracy, and I invite you to share our trip through the Land of Enchantment we are blessed to live in. Enjoy!
