Breaking Records: Aloha Shriners Win International Platinum Temple Award!

The Aloha Shriners have achieved notable recognition by receiving the Shriners International Membership Hall of Fame Platinum Temple Award. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon Shrine Temples that achieve a remarkable increase of over 3% in net positive members, underscoring their commitment to growth and community impact. The introduction of Platinum status marks a new pinnacle in the Hall of Fame, encouraging temples with burgeoning membership to strive for even greater expansion by year-end.

In addition, the Aloha Shriners received recognition with the Creation Excellence Certificate and the Conversion Excellence Certificate, newly introduced categories within the Hall of Fame. The Creation Excellence Certificate honors temples that achieve or surpass a 5% increase in total membership through new initiations in a calendar year. Meanwhile, the Conversion Excellence Certificate acknowledges temples that attain a 65% Master Mason Conversion rate and successfully convert at least 10 petitions by the end of the calendar year. These accolades underscore Aloha Shriners’ exceptional commitment to expanding the Shriners fraternity and advancing its philanthropic endeavors.

Marc Rubenstein, Potentate for 2023, and Dino Fernandez, Potentate for 2024, proudly accepted these awards during this year’s Shriners International Imperial Session in Reno, Nevada.
