Wayne Shrine Club was chartered in 1963. After meeting for more than twenty  years in various restaurants and other leased facilities, in 1986 President B.F. Smith, Sr. asked 1st. V.P., Noble Ray Dotson, to form a committee to look into building a permanent Club facility.  Committee members were Nobles Ray Dotson, Buddy Sutton, Al Linton, John Crawford, and Ray Joyner. The committee  raised funds and purchased a 7000 sq. foot "Butler" style building and, in 1989, on two acres of land donated by Illustrious Sir Johnnie VanRoekel, poured the slab, raised the building and had our first meeting in our own facility in December of that year. The building was very much unfinished at that time but, over the course of three more years the interior was completed.  All our indebtedness was finally paid in 1992.  For many years our Nobles donated gallons of sweat and thousands of dollars to achieve this long-sought goal. A new addition was added in 1996 for use as a meeting room for our lovely hard-working Shrinettes.  They have furnished their room in a beautiful decor that would be comparable to the palace of an eastern Potentate. We at Wayne Shrine Club are very proud of over forty-four years (as of 2007) of support for the burned, crippled, and other physically impaired children of our area.  At the January 1998 Ceremonial, we donated a new 15 passenger van to the Temple  for use in transporting the children to our Hospital in South Carolina. The donations from our annual fish fry for the Shriner's Hospitals for Children and from other fund raising events is averaging well over $50,000 per year.
