The Colorado Springs
Shrine, located at the corner of 33rd Street and Pikes Peak Avenue,
is one of the oldest Shrine Clubs in Al Kaly. In January 1948, all Nobles
in the Colorado Springs area were sent a letter announcing the purchase
of the Arnsdale School from the City of Colorado Springs for $7,500.
The Chairman of that committee was Noble C. H. Boaz. That's right.
Over the next
few years and addition was erected that consists of the present ballroom,
kitchen, stage, office and a large basement area for storage. Noble
Homer Sharpton was the first president and during his tenure and while
holding various positions on the Board, he built it into the Club it
is today. The Shrine Club hosts monthly dinner meetings on the 3rd Wednesday
of each month consisting of good food, entertainment and lots of camaraderie.
In addition, the Shrine Club, through the efforts of the Hospital Representatives,
host a children's Screening Clinic the second Saturday of each month
from 10:00 AM to Noon.
