Elks Lodge Milwaukie No 2032

Do not sign your children up for swim lessons here! it is very unsafe and the instructors are not safe or reliable. My son was injured and the paramedics had to come. Not one of the staff helped me. i had to pull my son from the pool myself, and after he bled a lot of blood in the pool, a new class jumped right in and they carried about their lessons. As Im screaming for someone to call 911, nobody would. Instead, they lined the next class up along the poolside to start their class. The only ones who helped were parent of my sons swim classmates. This place should be shut down

On Sunday, July 19, we celebrated my husband’s life at the Milwaukie Elks Lodge, and I was impressed by the efficiency of the volunteers who set up the tables, silverware, glasses — all. This is a mountain of work, and they had to add more tables as more than expected guests arrived — and all this was done with smiles and friendly faces. The event took longer than anticipated but the smiles were still there to the very end. Everyone was so helpful in the preparations and at the event itself, and I heard the same comments from several guests, too.
The fresh fruit platters that made the centerpiece of each table looked lovely, I couldn’t ask for a better ‘service’ — at a very reasonable fee on top of all! It was a wonderful send-​off for a wonderful husband, conductor, father, and friend. Thank you!

I’m not an Elks member, but kudos to 2032 for hosting Madeline’s Party — a wonderful gift-​giving event made to help those who are less fortunate receive meaningful and wanted gifts for the holiday season.
With that said, the facility is wonderful. The space used for the party… I suppose it’s called a banquet hall (?)… is fantastic. The stage is a good size, the dance floor is huge, the bar area is great. I was glad to visit.
