Al Kader
Shriners was
founded in 1888,
was the first
Shriners Center
to be
established in
the Pacific
Northwest.
Originally
located in the
City of
Portland, our home is now
in Wilsonville.
The purpose of
the Shrine is to
have fun and
support the
Shrine
Hospitals. The
Shrine
Organization is
international,
with centers in
Canada, Mexico,
Panama and the
United States.
There are 191
Shrine centers
with
approximately
375,000 members.
Although the
Shriners are an
all male
fraternity we
proudly include
our wives and
Ladies in all
that we do.
In order to
become a Shriner
you must first
become a Mason.
Freemasonry
is the oldest,
largest and most
widely known
fraternity in
the world. It
dates back to a
time when the
stone masons
gathered to
discuss their
craft and
socialize. To
become a Mason, a
man must ask to
join.
