2011 Tunis Shriners Divan

The Tunis Shrine No. 179 was founded in 1975, by a noble and honorable group of Masons dedicated to the idea that Masonry could be enjoyable and fun. Devoted to ideals of benevolence and charity, like other such Shrines across North America and even the world, they set out to meet the challenges of creating such a dream affectionately known as a Shrine. And so the story goes on even now after more then 35 years, to discover that the Tunis Shrine No. 179 as met with level heads and with meek hearts all of the challenges encountered along the journey. Still today they carry the torch as a light and beacon for others to follow in their foosteps, imitate their example, and heed the call, especially for those children who truly need their assitance and love.

As elders of the community and as many are grandfathers themselves, they understand the importance of helping the younger generation to traverse difficulties and hardship, with hope, love, and sharing. The conerstones of our Masonic philosophy, to help the needy and assist those least able to, all the while providing them with diginity, respect, and freedom.
