About Us

Who we are

Potomac River Shrine Club was established in 2022 to bring fraternal Shriner activities closer to Nobles and their families living along the Potomac River.

What do we do

Shriners are men who enjoy life. They enjoy parades, trips, circuses, dances, dinners, sporting events and other social occasions together. Furthermore, Shriners support what has become known as the "World's Greatest Philanthropy," Shriners Hospitals for Children.

How to become a Shriner

To be a Shriner, first you need to be a Master Mason.

If you hold the Master Mason degree in Freemasonry, you qualify and are invited to join the Shrine. A man receives the three degrees known as the Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason Degrees in the Masonic Lodge, often known as the Symbolic Lodge, Blue Lodge or Craft Lodge. In Freemasonry, there is no higher degree than that of Master Mason (the third degree).

In many parts of North America, Masonry does not solicit members. In these areas, no one is asked to join, and a man must seek admission of his own free will — he must ask.

Please reach out to us if you have an interest to become a Mason and a Shriner.
