Contribute to Hurricane Harvey Relief

Hurricane Harvey ravages the state of Texas as we speak. The effects have been compared to Hurricane Katrina, if not worse. Our hearts go out to family, friends and brothers who are suffering at the hands of the hurricane. If you can donate anything to help towards the relief efforts, consider the following charities.

Google has setup a simple donation page for the National Red Cross which will provide relief efforts
for Hurricane Harvey.

The Grand Lodge of Texas is collecting relief funds to help with the rebuilding of the lodges that have been destroyed in the wake of Hurrican Harvey.

Keep the hurricane victims in your hearts and prayers.

Hiram Award 2017

The last week in June 2017, Coachella Lodge #476 was able to present the Hiram Award to Wor. Patrick Nordquist. The brothers came together to arrange an excellent presentation ceremony thanks to the efforts of Wor. Cesar Rubio and Wor. Fred Wolf. The evening was catered with a delicious dinner prepared by our Junior Warden Clint Atherton and candidate Joshua Shultz. Many brothers and family members attended the evening; several from out of town. The lodge thanks all the brothers who came together and helped make this evening possible!
