Join Together to Celebrate... Shriners International Awareness Day Mark your calendars and start making plans! Shriners International Awareness Day is coming up on June 6, and nobles around the world are encouraged to participate in this exciting opportunity to celebrate the fraternity and recognize the day the Imperial Council was founded - June 6, 1876. The Imperial Council is the governing body of Shriners International. On June 6, Shriners everywhere are asked to wear their fez, if appropriate, or a hat, shirt, lapel pin or other item with the fraternal logo to help recognize fellow nobles and increase awareness about Shriners International. Many Shriners are also organizing special events at their temples and in their communities. "The goal of Shriners International Awareness Day is for each and every noble to join together for one purpose - to support our great fraternity," said Imperial Membership Committee Chairman George Mitchell. "Shriners International Awareness Day is an opportunity for us to increase awareness about Shriners International while celebrating the fraternity's impressive achievements over the past 137 years. The first Shrine temple opened in New York City in 1872." Here are a few ways nobles can participate in Shriners International Awareness Day: • Wear their fez on Shriners International Awareness Day when appropriate (during an official Shriners function). • Show pride in Shriners International by wearing a hat, shirt, lapel pin or other item with the fraternal logo. • Organize an event at their temple or in their local community. Invite the public to participate in the event to increase awareness about the local temple and Shriners International. • Contact the Temple Recorder or Public Relations Chairman to order copies of the Shriner Primer. Hand out copies to neighbors, friends, family members and any one else who may be interested in learning more about Shriners International and Shriners Hospitals for Children. • Include information about Shriners International Awareness Day on the temple Web site and in the temple calendar, publications and electronic communications. Announce the date at temple and club meetings. Be sure that each and every noble knows about Shriners International Awareness Day and encourage them to participate. • Contact one of the Shriners Hospitals for Children to schedule a tour. Organize a group tour for local nobles, family members or interested community members. This international day of recognition every June 6 will continue to be an opportunity for Shriners to share information about the fraternity, its history and the benefits of becoming part of an organization dedicated to fun, fellowship and philanthropic support.
