WILMINGTON, MA — In the latest episode of WCTV’s “Where’s Wilmington,” host Lisa Kapala interviews Peter Simmons, Past Potentate (Leader) of the Shriners.
Learn how the Shriners were formed, the Fez hat, the relationship between the Shriners and the Masons, Shriners philanthropy (22 hospital network), how women can get involved, uniformed units (e.g., clown and motorcycle units), how often they meet, their declining members (still at an impressive 3,100 members at its Wilmington’s location), its non-religion nature, and how residents can join.
