Clubs and Units of Elf Khurafeh Shrine
Becoming a Shriner is more than just donning the red fez. The Shrine was created over 150 years ago as the "playground of Masonry." It stands to reason then that a man joining the Shrine would seek the fun and fellowship of other nobles on this great playground. Listed below are the many clubs, units, and club sponsored units of Elf Khurafeh Shrine. While it is not required to join any of these groups, participation in one or more of them enhances a noble's experience in the Shrine. Membership in groups provides regularly scheduled times to meet and share fellowship with your noble brothers.
NOTE: Units are a part of the working corps of the temple and must be composed wholly of Nobles. Whereas, clubs may allow spouses/significant others to join.
