Welcome To the Nile Shrine Kitsap Peninsula Shrine Club. We are located West of Puget Sound in Kitsap County. We are one of the Shrine Clubs chartered by the Nile Shrine Center in Mountlake Terrace, Washington. Nile is one of the 191 Shrine organizations that make up the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine for North America. The Shrine was started in 1872 by a group of men belonging to the Masonic Order. It was originally established to provide fun and fellowship for its members. But as the organization grew, its members decided to dedicate their efforts to helping others by establishing an official philanthropy. Twenty two specialized hospitals have been created to provide expert medical care to children at no charge.
