Potentate El Karubah 2013
Welcome to our website. I hope that you find it both informative and entertaining. El Karubah Shriners would like to take your journey even further with a live tour of our temple and a trip to the First Shriner's hospital opened in 1922 in Shreveport. Shriner's Hospital for Children has become known as "The World's Greatest Philanthropy" resulting in a total of 22 hospitals throughout North America. We can be reached at our facility by calling (318) 631-1594. Arrangements can be made for your personal tours.
We have treated over 1 million children (from all walks of life) at our hospitals at no cost to the child or their parents. Our cost to run our 22 hospitals exceeds $1.7 million per day. Shriners have fun helping children and enjoying the fellowship of other Shriners and their families.
Our motto this year is Brotherhood, Fun and Compassion.
Take a look around our website. If you like what you see, make arrangements to travel further. Bring the Shriner out in you and come join us.
