The Clifton Park Elks Lodge was originally founded and chartered in 1971 on a small farmhouse in the Jonesville area of Clifton Park.  The farmhouse was the family home of Leon Teresko, one of our lodge's charter members.  To the benefit of our lodge, Leon has remained continuously active in the lodge throughout the years.

As the membership grew unfortunately the walls of the building would not expand on their own to keep up with the needs of the lodge.  So, in 1976  a group of talented members assembled and proceeded to attach an additional banquet room on the south side of the original building.

After the addition was completed, membership increase was on the rise and sure enough it did not take very long before discussions of further expansion began to surface.  Only this time, with increased regulations and newer technology, the task would not be as uncomplicated as it was for the first expansion.

We then merged with the Niskayuna Elks Lodge, and with their resources and influx of their membership our new expansion was completed in 1994.  This of course was not accomplished but for the dedication of the many hard working members, giving us the facility we enjoy today. 

We hope that those of you that visit this site will someday have the opportunity to visit our lodge or even to become a member of it and truly enjoy that - which many of us have enjoyed over the years.
