Al Bahr Shriners
SONS of the DESERT SHRINE CLUB

Chartered 1973

Chartered in 1973 under Illustrious Bill Kemper, out first elected President was Noble Don Boucher in 1974,
followed by Noble Bill Petrick in 1975, who was the driving force to make the club what it is today.  We are a
unique club, in that, to become a member, a Noble must have traveled the hot sands of the desert, although
we were formed as a social club of Al Bahr.  When chartered, we started out with nine members, including
officers.  At present, we have more than 100 members and more than 25 Honored Ladies.
     The club holds various functions throughout the year and one of the best is out Lost Wages Safari to
Las Vegas or Laughlin, which we make every year.  Also, our annual picnic which is very well attended.
     You will always see us at at the various parades, selling hamburgers, sodas and water from our colorful float.
     Several of our members have served as Potentates of Al Bahr.  Also, each year, we present the Camel Award
to a member who has given outstanding service.
