Welcome to
Land Of The Sky Shrine Club in Swannanoa, NC.
Shriners, as
a fraternity, was started by Masons living in New York
in 1870. A Mason can trace
his
fraternity back to the Middle Ages. The group in New
York wanted a fraternity that stressed
fun and
fellowship. They were attracted to the dress of Near
Eastern men. They developed this
theme with
the red fez as the official headgear. The fez is worn
only by Shriners and then
at Shrine
functions. You must first be a Mason before becoming a
Shriner.
Shriners
believe in God as the Supreme Being, principles of
brotherly love, relief (helping others)
and truth.
Many famous people are or have been Shriners including
John Wayne, Gerald Ford,
Arnold
Palmer, Harry
Truman, Clark Gable, General MacArthur and Red Skelton.
Our club is
part of the Oasis Shriners of Charlotte, North Carolina.
There
are 20 other Shrine Clubs in the Oasis Regional
Territory .
Land of
The Sky Shrine Club uses their club to rent out for
Parties, Business Meetings,
Wedding
Receptions, Class and Family Reunions, etc. to maintain
the club so they may continue
their
community service. Our Bar must be operated by our
Shriners following our Oasis rules.
