   Our lobby is the first thing you will see upon entering the Lodge, and we have worked very hard to make it a warm and welcoming environment. The pictures above start from a view of the entrance area, and move in a clock-wise (or right-hand) rotation around the room, ending up back at the front door again. The photographs along the wall to the right of the Secretary's Office around to below the US Flag are our Past Masters, the others are those of the Past Matrons of our OES Chapter #28.
   The two tapestries, Order of Eastern Star and Job's Daughters, seen in the photos at either end above were donated by Brother Dobbins, and framed and hung by Brother Broker. The patterned sofa and love seat were donated by Brother Jahns and family. The book case below the Community Wall and beside the double doors were built and donated by Brother Raastad (younger).

   This is our Dining Hall which is used by both our Lodge and that of our Eastern Star Chapter. Behind the door in the photo at the left is our kitchen area, which is capable of serving many dozens of people at a given time.
   The Masonic tapestry, seen to the right in the photo on the right, was donated, framed, and hung by our own Brother Broker.

   We are very proud that we have been able to be an active member of our community over the years, sponsoring local youth sports groups for soccer and little league. We have also be a part of the Arizona Antique Aircraft Association's annual Cactus Fly-In held at the Casa Grande Municipal Airport for the past several years now.
   Shown above are the aprons available to our visiting Brethren. These aprons were made and donated to the Lodge by the experienced hand of our own Brother Al's wife, Annabelle. Her work shows expert craftsmanship, and we were honored to receive such a gift.
   Above is our Tyler's Room, where all Brethren and visitors to the Lodge sign in at the register on the counter, above which hangs our Charter. Elsewhere on the walls are displayed our original founders, the original Dispensation from Grand Lodge for our Lodge to be formed, the original By-Laws and more, some of which you can see in the Documents section (shown below). The lighted Square & Compass above the entrance to the Lodge Room was donated by our own Brother Daszy, and mounted by Brothers Broker and Shedd.
   The Tyler's sword was graciously donated to us by Brother Daszy as well, and is proudly visible in a custom made display case as the center-piece of the Tyler's Room.

   Our Lodge Hall, we feel, is one of the best in the State of Arizona, and we are always thrilled when we receive positive comments on it. Above are shown the various stations around the Lodge Hall: East, West, South, and others. As you can see from the photos of the South, there are plenty of additional seats for visitors along the wall, which are duplicated along the North wall (not pictured).
   The lighting in our Lodge Hall is mostly indirect lighting, from along the walls and above the center hung-ceiling section, to help enhance the atmosphere as well as show off the one-of-a-kind all wood ceiling, and enhance the pure blue carpeting.
   Our Altar is simple yet perfectly matches the custom furniture and other settings in the room, with various Masonic regalia on display throughout the Hall. The Point Within A Circle was built, hung, and donated by both Brother Raastad (father) and Brother Raastad (son).
