Jackson

From an article in the Alchemist of August, 1945 the news was given about a reorganizational meeting of interested Shriners at the New Southern Hotel in Jackson. The purpose was to get a new Shrine club going. In addition to the local Nobles, there were officers from Al Chymia present - Potentate B. Wray Williams, Chief Rabban Willie B. Smith and H. P. & P. Milton Bowers, Sr.

After the club was approved, the members elected Noble Fred Delay as its President. He got them off to a good start, and this club has been functioning great since that time.

Several years ago, some of the members got together to form a Motor Corps Unit, and this story is given in the unit section. It has served as an extra attraction to those interested in riding sharp motorcycles.

Another interesting item is the number of people in the club who have attained prominence in business, the professions, politics, and doing good works in various local charities as well as supporting Al Chymia in all its works.

The Jackson Shrine Club serves Madison and Chester counties, and this is one of the fastest growing areas in West Tennessee. In the years to come this club will surely expand even more than it has to give service to the Nobility and community. There are no limits to the good things that can be accomplished by this growth.
