Director: Matthew M. Pōth

Background
The Lancers are a motorized unit that drives the miniature 1998 Plymouth Prowlers. We are affectionately know as “Those crazy guys who drive those little cars” Each member owns and maintains his own car. The Lancer Motto is “We ride so children can walk”

All the Prowlers were repainted to a two tone metal flake look if you get close and the sun is shining it tends to change colors

The golf cart following the prowlers is a souped up
(Will do wheelies) Club Car and is use for those
Lancers who no longer able to parade in the cars and used as a tow vehicle (We hope not) when needed. It is known as the “Leaping Lizard” as it is hard to keep the front wheels on the ground.    Visit our Facebook page.

Membership in the Lancers Shrine Unit is available to any member of Moslem Shrine Temple that is in good standing. New members have one year to purchase a car. Under special circumstances we do allow persons to join and not have a car. Please call the Director for more information. For persons not having a car or have other circumstances we have a souped up golf cart (Known as the Leaping Lizard) that we use in parades to allow for participation.

Our application fee for joining the Lancers is $100 which includes that year’s dues. Our annual dues are $15.00. Pre-owned cars cost around $1,500 (Payment plans available) and have all the modifications required by our Unit and are parade ready.

Probationary Period
There is a one-year probationary period. A probationary member is entitled to attend meeting, participate in all Lancer functions (including parading); can wear the word Lancer on his Fees, car or any other property pertaining to the Lancers. A Probationary member is not entitled to vote until he receives his full status as a Lancer. The probationary period will count towards fifteen (15) year veteran requirement.

We meet on the first Monday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Shrine Center in the Lancer Room #105. We provide an open bar for Camel’s milk (Adult beverages for our members only) and soft drinks. After meetings, we have food provided free of charge by the Lancers Unit to round out the evening.

Activities
Our unit has numerous activities throughout the year. The Lancers participate in every Moslem Shrine parade plus many more and the crowds love us. Kids of all ages at all events come and have their picture taken in our cars. There is so much more that we do, but space does not allow us to list them all.
