“Isn’t it great to be a Shriner? It’s FEZtastic!” said Imperial Membership Committee Chairman George Mitchell. “To continue being so great, we need to show the world— get out there and tell your family, friends, neighbors and anyone who will listen about our wonderful fraternity.”
On this day every year, Shriners will be asked to wear their fez, if appropriate, or a hat, shirt, pin or other item with the fraternal logo to help recognize fellow Shriners and increase awareness of Shriners of North America. Many Shriners are also organizing special events in their communities.
“Hosting recognition events or activities to celebrate our fraternity and all its impressive achievements over the past 126 years is a wonderful way to increase awareness in our communities, said Imperial Potentate Bernard J. Lemieux, M.D. “I would encourage all temples to plan a local activity to observe International Shrine Awareness Day on June 6, and invite the public to take part so they can get to know Shriners and what we do.”
This international day of recognition is an opportunity for every Shriner to share information about the fraternity, its history and the benefits of becoming part of an organization that is dedicated to fun, fellowship and philanthropic support.
