Text Box: Memorabilia Displays in the Armory

Text Box: Various pieces of memorabilia are currently on display in the armory. Cases are being arranged to display items being “uncovered” that have too long be stored, stuffed into distant corners or other wise thought to be “junk” within the corridors and rooms of our Masonic Temple. Everyone is encouraged to use this room as a lounge since the addition of seating has made it a more friendly and appealing atmosphere. Smoke out sand boxes are located in the area as well. Any item belonging to members who wish to contribute them for display may do so by presenting them to the secretary.
