Who We Are:

We were chartered in 1956 to provide fun and fellowship for Shriners and their Ladies, and to provide and promote opportunities to further the Shriners of North America philanthropy for Shriners and their Ladies. 22 Shriners Hospitals are dedicated to providing state of the art medical, surgical, orthopedic, surgical and rehabilitative care to kids under 18 years of age in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Our Shrine Center affiliation is with Nile Shrine Center in Mountlake Terrace, Washington. However, the Northwest Shrine Club in Bellingham, WA is geographically closer to Gizeh Shrine Center in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. We are anxious to recruit men who capture the vision and have a heart to serve kids with disabilities. Members are urged to look for and talk with parents about our sponsoring kids to receive care, treatment and hope from Shriners Hospitals. In 2010 over $850 million dollars will be spent on FREE hospital and medical care healing kids with disabilities. We're proud to support and provide all that we can toward this goal. Shriners may be America's best kept secret, but we're working to reverse that... If you would like to be a Shriner, please contact any of our Officers using the information given under the Officers link at your left in the menu.

Our Present Goals:

Members have elected to expand our horizons, to attract young men to become members of the greatest philanthropy in the world. The Shrine of North America spends $68 million every month on FREE medical care for disabled and burned kids. The Northwest Shrine Club endeavors to advance the Club's presence in the Whatcom County jurisdiction of Washington State. We want to expand our membership by recruiting young men, by stimulating our membership through fun and heart-warming endeavors on behalf of kids with disabilities. We meet monthly, enjoy community events and activities that take part in the Nile Shrine Center's facilities and activities. Any man over age 21 is eligible to become a Shriner, and we're looking for YOU.

Our Future:

Our plans are to become much more visible in the Whatcom County community. We have plans to raise money, have fun, do great things for kids with disabilities, and while we're at it, add to our membership. There are many good and great causes to become involved in. This is a cause that both provides fun and purpose. It's a great day when a Shriner speaks with a parent of a kid with a disability and they agree to let the Shriners do our "thing." A man adopts a child on that day, and there is nothing like it. No man stands as tall as when he stoops to pick up a disabled kid. And the results of Shriner's care are beyond imagination.
