Elks refers to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a fraternal organization founded in the United States in 1868.
Members are called Elks, and local chapters are called lodges: My grandfather was active in the Elks for forty years.
The organization is known for charitable work and community service. (Lowercase elks is the plural of the animal elk.)
