Background
The Rawsonville Shrine Club originally formed as an unchartered Shrine club named the Rawsonville Rebels in circa 1978. The club was later chartered as the Rawsonville Shrine Club on 7-24-1982 with Jack Riggs being the first president. In the early days, the club had an annual pig roast and numerous other outings with family members to promote fellowship. Today, the Club continues to have regular events to promote fellowship and assist needy children. The Club is a great way to stay connected and in volved with Shriners in the Rawsonville area community.
