On July 31, 1894, a special session of the Deputy Grand Lodge B.P.O.
Elks of Colorado was called for the purpose of instituting Colorado
Springs Lodge #288 (correctly changed to #309 in April of 1896). Lodge #288 is the Pendleton, Oregon Lodge. There were 30 charter members who presented themselves for initiation. In April of 1896, the Lodge number was changed from 288 to 309 on the seal.
In May of 1963, Lodge #309 (at the corner of Cascade and Bijou) was closed. The Lodge had met there for more than 60 years. The new location was 3400 North Nevada Avenue (present location).
On January 15, 1977, there was the burning of the mortgage of the present home. Three hundred nine (309) tickets were sold and the price of each ticket (a souvenir item) was $3.09 a couple.
