Lodge #1986 runs programs that touch nearly every corner of community life. Youth athletics are a cornerstone: the nationally recognized Hoop Shoot basketball free-throw competition and the Soccer Shoot program give local kids a stage to compete and grow. Scholarships extend that investment into higher education, and drug awareness programming adds a layer of prevention that schools alone cannot provide.
For veterans, the lodge provides dedicated services and a space where service to country is genuinely honored, not just acknowledged. Social members enjoy a full bar and bartender service, a competitive pool league, and a lodge room available for private events like the baby shower that earned a glowing five-star write-up. Volunteer opportunities are woven into the culture here, so joining is not passive membership, it is a commitment to Farmington Hills itself.
The monthly newsletter keeps members connected between visits, and activity sign-up makes it easy to jump into whatever matters most to you, whether that is a Memorial Day observance, a community fundraiser, or Tuesday night at the bar with people who actually know your name.
