The Coachella Lodge held it's annual Easter Breakfast this last weekend. It was a great success as many of our brothers volunteered to prepare, cook and clean up the event. We appreciate all the help from our volunteers and everyone who attended. If you haven't seen the pictures please visit the Gallery or click this link.
The first ever Coachella Lodge Tile Fundraiser is a huge success!
Thanks to everyone's efforts, we were able to sell around 75 tiles! These tiles have been ordered and will be going up soon in our dining hall as a testament to everyone who has helped donate to the cause of supporting the Lodge and repairing the building. A big thank you goes to Bro. David Hertzing who spear headed this operation and has done the contracting work in the dining hall where the tiles will be placed.
We will continue to take orders for tiles for our next order.
Tiles are only $100 and you can personalize them with three lines of text (20 characters per line without clipart, 15 characters per line with clipart). They will be mounted to the wall within the main dining hallway.

Coachella Lodge held it's first Rusty Trowel program - with great success! Thanks to the collaboration with Palm Springs Lodge and the Rusty Trowel committee, we were able to host over 120 masons and visitors at our lodge. Many of these masons had not been in lodge for decades. The Rusty Trowel program was a great way for them to get reacquainted with lodge. For family and visitors, there was a great program on famous masons and the Coachella Lodge Masonic Family. Thanks go out to all those involved including our concordant bodies and youth groups.

Coachella Lodge #476 continues to make a positive impact in the local community! Lodge representatives together with reprentatives from Palm Springs Masonic Lodge came to the Oasis Elementary School in Thermal, California. This school was the latest recipient of the Grand Lodge of California's literacy program, Raising a Reader. Our lodge was represented at the presentation program with the school's principal and community directors. Hundreds of free books were handed out to needy students along with their own book bag.
It is excellent to see our Grand Lodge programs benefit our local district.

Coachella Lodge needs your help!
Our lodge building is in need of major repairs and improvements. Thanks to Brother David Hertzing we have started a Commemorative Tile Fundraiser. The deadline has been moved to next month and you can still buy a tile to help us repair and improve our lodge building!
Remember, funds raised after costs of the tile will go directly towards repairing Coachella Lodge.
Tiles are only $100 and you can personalize them with three lines of text (20 characters per line without clipart, 15 characters per line with clipart). They will be mounted to the wall within the main dining hallway.
We now have a Scottish Rite clipart available for our tiles. Please choose clipart #11 or ask for the Scottish Rite emblem.
