Turning in my Shrine Application help

I'm Bro. Jerry and have decided to join the Shrine. On the bottom of page one of the online application for the Houston Shrine Temple on Harwin, it says: "I plan to be initiated at ____ class.

What goes on the blank line and how do I find out what goes there?

Secondly, do I go downtown to the Shrine temple? If so am I the only person initiated? Can I be the only person?

Also, when I contact my local Shrine club what should I ask? Are the other dues other than the application fee?

Also, how do I find out my fez size.? Is that the same as my hat size? I am a 7 3/8.

Thank you all so much. I'd appreciate any help! And am open to suggestions, phone conversations etc.

Best,
Jerry

Separated the post from the other thread, as it was not relevant to the other discussion, and made it into it's own thread so you'll hopefully get more responses. I can't answer you question, unfortunately, but I'm sure you'll get a reply.

I know you probably already have your answer, but for the sake of others... The class is a year. Most Shrines only initiate once or twice a year. You are brought in in mass as part of an Arabian caravan.

Put 2011. If the already did it, they will tell you when the next one is. Or just call your local shrines business office.

arabia initiates all year long. they have a very short cold sand ceremony that is open to family and friends. they have 2 bigger events that they schedule and ask you to come back and bring your wife if you went throught the quick ceremony. at this event they will take you on a hospital tour and a tour around the shrine center then finish the day with a fiest.

I'm going to be a Shriner!

I will be initiated Monday, September 19,2011 at the Arabia Shrine Center in Houston, Texas. I'm looking forward to meeting fellow brothers and nobles!

Best,
Jerry
