Welcome to the "Great 18"! When Willoughby Elks Lodge #1924 merged with Cleveland-Euclid Elks Lodge #18 in 1998, we became one "great" lodge.

We are famous for our Lenten fish fry every year in Lake County and served almost 1,300 dinners in 2024. Each year we utilize over $10,000 in Elks National Foundation grants to serve our surrounding communities.

The Willoughby-Cleveland Elks Lodge #18 is proud to be the home of two past State presidents: Lance C. Knight in 2015-2016 and George B. Walker in 1968-1969.
