York Rite of Freemasonry
The York Rite of Freemasonry has been practiced in
the United States since 1773 and consists of The Royal
Arch Chapter, The Cryptic Council, and the
Commandery of Knights Templar. The teachings of
the York Rite encompass all the ideas and tenets of
Freemasonry, and although their degrees and orders
carry no numbers, they are the compliment to the
Scottish Rite. The degrees and orders of the York Rite
will complete the circle of perfection in ancient craft
Masonry and will assist men in their quest of
brotherly love, relief and truth.

Shriners International
The Shriners have built twenty two children's
hospitals which include five burn institutes
throughout North America. These facilities were built,
staffed and maintained without any government
assistance. Even more incredible, no child has ever
been charged for any treatment at a Shriner's
hospital! That's because the Shriners and their
friends pay for it all with dues, endowments, wills,
gifts and fundraising activities such as the East-West
Shrine Football Game. At the Shriner's Hospitals,
more than 725,000 children have been restored to a
near normal life. Because of this great work, the
Shriners have earned the proud title of "the world's
greatest philanthropy."
