The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona met in the Masonic Center in Scottsdale, Arizona to constitute Phoenicia Lodge No. 58, Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona and to install the officers, elected and appointed to serve for the year 1960.  Most Worshipful Brother Earl A. Spitler, Grand Master of Arizona convened the meeting.  Very Worshipful Brother Joseph A. E. Ivey, Grand Secretary, read the Charter, which was delivered to the lodge.  Most Worshipful Brother Spitler then proceeded to install the officers, above named, in their respective stations and places.

There were seven Past Grand Masters present.  Most worshipful Brothers, Joseph A. E. Ivey, Louis A. Myers, Nelson T. Roach, Arnold E. Schaffner, Earl A. Spitler, C. B. Wilson and Leland D. Wilson, and twenty-six Masters and Past Masters present various Lodges within the Valley.  Following the presentation of the Charter, a very pleasant Masonic Social Hour was held in the dining room. The attendance numbered approximately one hundred and fifty of our Masonic Brethren.

In 2004, Phoenicia Lodge had moved from its home since 1959 at Scottsdale Masonic Center to its current home at the Paradise Valley Masonic Center.  With a future plan of having it own Masonic Center.
