Digital Bulletin Board for Elks Lodges (BPOE)

Mango Display on an Elks Lodge TV showing this week’s events

Between stated meetings, initiations, Friday dinners, Hoop Shoot practice, and every committee under the sun, an Elks Lodge has enough on the calendar for two bulletin boards. Most Lodges run a printed monthly calendar from the Secretary’s office that’s out of date before the second week.

Mango Display turns any TV in your Lodge — front lobby, dining room, social quarters — into a live display of the Secretary’s Google Calendar. Update once, show everywhere.

Why Exalted Rulers and Secretaries Sign Up

The Secretary already runs the calendar. If the Lodge bulletin and monthly calendar come from the Secretary’s office, Mango Display just plugs into the same Google Calendar.

Dinner attendance goes up. A TV visible from the social quarters showing tonight’s menu and price keeps members eating at the Lodge instead of going out.

Flag Day and national program events get the visibility they deserve. Put Hoop Shoot, Flag Day, and ENF fundraiser dates on screen weeks ahead.

New members see what’s happening. Prospective and brand-new Elks walk in and immediately see what’s going on — more than they’d get from a bulletin board they don’t yet know how to read.

Works With What You Already Have

Mango Display runs on most displays your organization already has. Supported devices include Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs (Tizen), Android TV & Google TV, LG Smart TVs (WebOS), Apple iPad, Android and Fire tablets, Amazon Echo Show, Windows PCs, any modern web browser, and Raspberry Pi. If your TV is a smart TV, you can usually install Mango Display directly with no streaming stick at all. If it isn’t, a $30 Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast does the job. See the full list on our supported display types page.

Add your Post’s Google Calendar and existing Wi-Fi and you’re 15 minutes from a working digital bulletin board — no contractor, no installer required.

Display PDFs and Auto-Generated Graphics (Business Plan)

Most Lodges send out a monthly newsletter. On the Business plan, upload that same PDF and it rotates on the Lodge TVs alongside the calendar — reaching members who never open the email.

The Business plan also includes:

Google Sheets display — If the Secretary tracks bookings in a spreadsheet, point Mango Display at it.
Auto-generated event graphics — Clean, branded visuals built automatically from your calendar entries.

FAQ for Lodge Officers

Who should own set-up? The Secretary, with help from the House Committee chair for the physical install.

Can we hide member-only events from a lobby TV? Yes. Run two calendars — one public (dinner, Friday night music, open events), one members-only (initiations, stated meetings). The lobby TV shows only the public one.

Can different TVs show different things? Yes. Lobby TV: public events. Social quarters TV: tonight’s menu and entertainment. Members-only area: full calendar. All from one Google Calendar setup.

Does it show Hoop Shoot and national program dates? Anything you put on the Lodge calendar shows on the TV.

Can our State Association manage this for multiple Lodges? Yes — Enterprise covers multi-Lodge setups.

Elks Lodge Event Displays

Elks Lodge event displays typically feature dinner nights, Friday fish fries, steak nights, bingo, karaoke, live music, Lodge meetings, Officer meetings, Hoop Shoot, Drug Awareness programs, Veterans events, youth activity nights, and community fundraisers. A digital bulletin board in the social quarters turns the Lodge TV into a living event calendar — using a TV as a bulletin board that members actually look at when they grab a drink or sit down for dinner.

Social Club Bulletin Board Ideas

Social clubs live and die by attendance, and attendance follows visibility. Good social club bulletin board ideas include: rotating the week’s dinner specials, highlighting upcoming member birthdays, showing the Officer meeting schedule, previewing the next charity event, and welcoming visiting Lodges or guests. Mango Display handles all of that from one Google Calendar.

Add Photos to Events

Want to show a photo alongside an event — a birthday portrait, a photo from last year’s Hoop Shoot, or a shot from a recent Drug Awareness program? Attach an image to the Google Calendar event and Mango Display shows it on screen with the event details. Photos aren’t auto-generated — you add the ones you want, whether it’s a portrait for a member’s birthday, a shot from last year’s cookout, a flyer for an upcoming fundraiser, or a headshot for a visiting speaker. The display pulls them straight from the calendar entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes on an Elks Lodge digital bulletin board?

Dinner nights, fish fries, bingo, karaoke, live music, Lodge and Officer meetings, Hoop Shoot, Drug Awareness events, and community fundraisers — everything on the Lodge’s Google Calendar.

Can we celebrate member birthdays and anniversaries on the board?

Yes. Add birthdays as recurring events in Google Calendar and they rotate through the display along with upcoming events.

How much does a digital bulletin board cost for an Elks Lodge?

The Mango Display Pro plan is $5.99/month and includes the calendar. Most Lodges already have a TV, so total cost is software only.
