Welcome to the Anah Shriners!
The Shrine Organization is best known for its colorful parades, the distinctive red fez and its national philanthropy designed to help children in need. Shriners International describes itself as a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. Throughout North America there are over 190 Shrine Temples, or charters. Our Temple, The Anah Shrine, held its first meeting in July 1921 and a charter was issued in 1922. The Anah Shrine has eight regional shrine clubs where members and guests enjoy fellowship. Whether you are a member or just enjoy our parades or circuses from afar, we welcome you to our site.

John has been a Board Member since 2016, joining the executive committee in 2021 as vice chairman.
John was first introduced to the work of the Shriners in 1998. He instantly fell in love with the Shriners Children's mission and jumped at the opportunity to join the fraternity that supports it. He became a Ziyara Shriner, based in Oneida County, New York, where he served as ritual director for many years.
As chairman, John plans to focus on supporting the talented staff at Shriners Children's New England. He will maintain open lines of communication between the staff and the Board, especially as they navigate the location's new identity as a licensed outpatient facility.
