After much discussion, the Lodge placed a bid for the property. It was placed on the City Commission ballot as, “Sale of Surplus City Property”. The Resolution passed. Fundraising began in earnest. Architectural planning began.
OUR HISTORY
BUILDING A LEGACY OF SERVICE THROUGH OUR HISTORY
Our Timeline
The Lodge requested the City Commission to consider a lease/purchase agreement of the Air Park Property, located on the southeast corner of NE 10th Street an NE 5th Avenue, consisting of 11.0 Acres.
Due to the age of the building and membership increase, plans to find a new lodge were presented for the approval.
Again, bonds were issued to the members to pay off the new addition.
The Lodge membership had outgrown the building-remodeling and expansion began.
After the completion of renovations the building was dedicated on March 13th.
A colonial type building at 2300 NE 10th Street became our second Lodge home. Bonds were issued for the purchase.
A fire broke out in the kitchen in the early morning hours, after a Thanksgiving Dance. The building was rutted.
Pompano Beach Lodge #1898 was originated and the Charter was signed on April 30th. A building called “The Old Casino” on the beach became the first Lodge with 110+ members.
