Purpose

Shrine Nobles are highly encouraged to join at least one Unit or Club.

Units are essential to Aladdin, providing members with a meeting place and defined social activities. There is great variety in the 14 special-interest Units of Aladdin, each dedicated to the Fraternity and under the jurisdiction of Aladdin’s Potentate. Many have ladies meetings or offer activities for the ladies when they meet.

Units are made up of groups of Nobles with similar interests. Service units benefit the Nobility or the temple, providing (for example) maintenance, first-aid, or hospitality. Performing units primarily provide entertainment for Shriners or the general public, including clown groups, bands, and mini-car drivers. Units usually participate in community parades, and sometimes compete against similar units from other temples. Many Units have international affiliations and, therefore, have their own conventions. Some of those conventions and competitions occur during Imperial Session.

Units have their own bylaws and, therefore, their own officers. Each Unit defines the officers and terms of office.

Unit members are relied upon to assist their Directors and the Aladdin Officers in conducting worthwhile activities, meeting membership and other goals, and promoting the good name of Shriners.
