What they do

On August 7, 1914, the Beni Hassan Shrine Temple #64 was chartered in the city of Seattle, Washington.  Since that time, the Beni Hassan Shrine Temple has gone on to operate as a fraternal, benevolent, and charitable organization.  Its membership is dedicated to the principle of fostering civic, economic, and educational development programs in the Seattle area.

 

The essence of the Shriners is the fraternal good fellowship for which it was originally founded.  It has been said that there are no strangers in Shrinedom.  Evidence of this is in the Shrine members who have come together from all walks of life and formed a common bond.  It is a bond that encourages each member to actively participate in group endeavors to achieve our organizational goals and, in turn, create lifelong friendships.

 

To students in higher learning as well as to children and families in need, the Shriners are seen as the men who extended a helping hand in time of trouble and need.  To himself, each member believes it is his job to do what he can as an individual to make this old world a better place for all to live.
