Welcome to Idaho State Elks Association
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is a nationwide fraternal organization of nearly one million men and women in over 2,000 Lodges in communities all across our country. Our organization was founded on the principles of charity, justice, brotherly love, fidelity, and belief in God.
We love our country and desire to preserve its cherished institutions, traditions, and values. We respect our neighbors and constantly seek to promote their well-being. We love and enjoy life and believe this enjoyment is increased by sharing it with family, friends and all with whom we connect.
For over 140 years, the B.P.O. Elks has been dedicated to serving our fellow citizens through Drug Awareness programs in our schools, Veterans Services, Scholarships, Youth Activities and much, much more.
This site was designed to help you become familiar with what ISEA does as an organization for Elkdom, the 21 lodges that make up the ISEA, and for the great state of Idaho.

The Betty Hise Trust for Cancer Research is a non-profit organization created as a program for Oregon and Idaho ladies and Elks to promote and generate ongoing funds for the research and treatment of cancer. All funds raised go directly to the Betty Hise Trust for Cancer Research. The money is held in trust and is invested. The goal is to raise enough money to donate larger and larger sums to the research effort.

Preston Elks Lodge Christmas Baskets
The time has finally arrived.........The next two days will be full of fun as we, the Preston Elks Lodge #1670 set out to deliver the 750+ Christmas Baskets we've prepared this year! What an awesome feeling to know that we're able to help so many in need! A big thanks goes out to our community for helping me and Tim to pull off this great project!
Americanism Message January 2012
A time to remember & feel blessed. As we ended the old year & begin the new think about our past blessings and perhaps keep that thought all the way through the New Year. I viewed the nativity story in December. The things Mary & Joseph had to go through with Mary being an unwed mother being shunned by the customs of the times almost to the point of being stoned. Traveling to Bethlehem, a long journey in very crude travel settings and delivering Christ.
Viewing Pearl Harbor & the sacrifices made by our now veterans. Viewing 9/11 an event which showed our vulnerability in a world which has grown smaller due to fast moving technology & the lives of firemen & citizens who risked them to save the people in the disaster. In reading world news, note the dictators in power & the inhumane treatment of a massive amount of people due to power & greed. We must be thankful that we have a different form of representation, we must be thankful that we have a God in heaven to protect us, we must be thankful that we have young men & women out there standing watch, to protect us from harm. We have a lot to be thankful.
Let’s acknowledge that thankfulness by supporting our vets, showing our respect to God, voting to choose the proper people to represent us and never forget the sacrifices made for all of us.
God Bless you All!
Tom Tuttle- Americanism Chairman
