Honors

Awarded by the Potentate for contributions above and beyond the call of duty.

Crown of Honor & Bars: Awarded for exceptional contributions that year — to a unit, a project, a fundraiser, or the Temple itself. Recipients should wear the necklace proudly at all Shrine meetings, Stated Sessions, Annuals, and Formal Balls (except outdoor events or parades).

Merit Jewel: Awarded for cumulative meritorious service — one of the highest honors at Alee. If a Noble holds both a Crown of Honor and a Merit Jewel, only the Merit Jewel should be worn.
