THE FERNDALE ELKS STORY
More than 95 years of fellowship and service.
Instituted in 1931 and at home on Woodward Avenue since 1943, Ferndale #1588 has grown by pairing good fellowship with a deep commitment to the community. Our members helped launch the Woodward Dream Cruise, welcome first responders, support veterans and young people, fund scholarships, and answer local needs.
