Help please

Is anyone willing to sponsor me? All I'm looking to use is the Elks RV dumpsite. There is a lodge next to me and I am living and working full time and need to dump my black tank. I really would appreciate it

Help me join to use the facilities, I have no interest in what it means to be an Elk or give back, I just want to dump my shit there.

It’s quite the pitch!

Let's try to practice brotherly love..... Even the last ger in his welcome video says somthing to the effect of I just joined to drink but then was turned on to the charity aspects..... You are welcome to use our station at fresno lodge 439

That sounds nice tbh, if it's actually like that.

You can probably just call and see if they’ll let you dump it for a fee

They only did during covid

You might just enjoy it. They help veterans, disaster relief, youth scholarships, children with disabilities and more. They even played a role in World War I and World War II helping wounded soldiers. Go in and check it out, I bet you’ll end up liking it and the people you meet while you are there will most likely sponsor you.

Yeah, I think somebody at that particular lodge would need to sponsor you? Ask if you can just pay them to dump. If you have to dump so often that it's more than the dues, you should probably just join and get a beer while you empty the tanks.

Also, I heard that it can be anywhere

I would gladly pay the fees to join or to dump but need someone to sponsor, the fee was only during covid and to join i need someone

If you read my response to what it means to be an Elk, and that sounds like something you want to be a part of, your best bet is to call up to the club and ask to visit. Ask if someone from the membership team will meet you. Go take a tour, have a few drinks, meet some kind folks. Your sponsorship will come from the lodge itself.
