Ohio Shrine Association

The Ohio Shrine Association was organized in 1981. It holds its annual business meeting on the first weekend in March in the home city of the President's Shrine Center.

The organization of six Ohio Shrine Centers promotes cordiality and friendship, harmonizes resolutions of territorial and jurisdictional questions and the exchange of affirmative ideas regarding membership, uniformity of fees and dues and Shrine club relationships.

This year Shriners of Ohio will again hold their annual newspaper distribution to raise money for the Shriners 47 Hospitals for Children and Shrine Burns Institutes. The project dubbed SO HELP - Shriners of Ohio Hospital Edition Local Paper.

Several Nobles were skeptical as they worked diligently on preparations for the initial program in 1978. But the donations came in and the four-page tabloid was a big success. Aladdin Shriners netted more than $21,000.,  and the Ohio Shrine Association gave the Hospitals a check for $150,000. as a result of the first state-wide effort.
