Hunter’s Paradise – A bit of Lodge History

       Hunter’s Paradise Lodge #85 received its charter at the Arizona Grand Lodge Communication of 2013.

We gather on the 4th Monday of the month for our business meetings.  The lodge holds its meetings in the second floor lodge room of El Zaribah Shriners at 552 North 40th Street in Phoenix Arizona.

      The brothers of the lodge selected the lodge name of “Hunter’s Pariadise” that in Arabic is “El Zaribah”. Many of us may have a mother lodge either here in Arizona or elsewhere around the country, but this lodge gives us an opportunity to be involved with the masonic fraternity.

      With the fact that many of the chartering and transferring  in brothers are Shriners, we continue to have a strong link with El Zaribah Shriners, but  now that the lodge has grown to over 115 members, this is more just a historical point.   For the brothers of Hunter’s Paradise Lodge #85,  the spirit and brotherhood is more centered on our masonic brothers, enjoying the experience of sitting in lodge with each other and bringing good men into the masonic fraternity.  The Masonic friendship  lives in this lodge and lasts a lifetime..
