"If we could give zero stars, it would be too much. Stopped in with my wife for an outta state visit at 1030am on a Friday. Membership Card reader didn't work. Exalted ruler lady came to door looking puzzled that we were their. The website and front door states they open at 8am. Was their for a quick tour and to purchase a couple pins for our collection. We were treated VERY rude and denied BOTH a pin, and tour. Were were their to support their lodge, but were treated with disregard and disrespect. I think this lodge Exalted ruler needs to be ousted and replaced. Very poor people skills and not very professional."

"We held our wedding here; nice big venue, great food (Willie is the best), and a nice dance floor for guest.qk"

"Gloria is amazing! She will be one of the main reasons we come back for bingo on Thursday nights. First timers at bingo; will say the regulars, well SOME of the regulars don’t really know how to treat new comers. And making it known you’re the “president” and “can do whatever you want”, is “realllllllllly professional”. My sarcasm can be just as dumb as your comments. Being rude to people and flaunting your title makes me very uncomfortable and shouldn’t be something coming out of a leaders mouth. Just saying… luckily They didn’t ruin our fun enough to stop coming though! Guess ya better get use to us. 😉"

"Great place to rent for a special event! Uhm... not anymore. After being a member there for about 9 years and sitting on the board, the greed and terrible manner in which they treat their employees, and even each other, is not what a charitable organization is about. I finally dropped membership. Don't get me wrong, there are some awesome people there that we miss, but the politics and greed were intolerable. Maybe I will start my own lodge and call it "My Own Lodge" - all welcome!"
