Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine
Oasis of Cedar Rapids
Desert of Iowa
|
A fraternal organization survives in the hearts of its members. Since 1886, El Kahir Shrine has played a key role in the cities of Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, and throughout
its jurisdiction in Northeast Iowa. From its inception, until the present, good men have had an opportunity to share in the fun of its activities while contributing to the
seriousness of its purpose. The aiding of others in need. Throughout its history, several events have marked the development of El Kahir Shrine. The inevitable peaks and valleys have affected membership, facilities, and programs. Through it all, whatever the circumstances, certain Masonic principles have always prevailed. Such things as Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth are exemplified in the activities of the Shrine. The Shriner's hospitals for children and the burns institutes are the visual outward manifestations of these inward qualities. As we pause to briefly reflect, we do so with the realization that we do not rest on past achievements. The future is where we and our children will live. The Masonic creed of taking good men and making them better, underlies each activity sheltered under the square and compass and the scimitar and crescent. As we make our contributions to the present, we seal our future. |
