A Medinah Shriners get-together - a photo on Flickriver

            According to the wide colorful ties they're wearing, this photo was taken in the late 40's or early 50's.  The Medinah Shriners are based in Addison, Illinois, just outside of Chicago.
"The Shriners are a unique and vibrant international fraternity known for their commitment to fun, fellowship, and philanthropy. Officially called the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (A.A.O.N.M.S.), this organization is made up of men from all walks of life who share a common goal: to make the world a better place for children and families in need.
Founded in New York City in 1872, the Shriners are a new body within the broader fraternity of Masons. While all Shriners are Master Masons, not all Masons are Shriners. The Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine was created to add an element of fun and fellowship to the Masonic experience, while also focusing on philanthropy and relief for those in need.
Today, the Shriners are known around the world for their iconic red fezzes, their colorful parades, and, most importantly, their unwavering support for Shriners Hospitals for Children. With nearly 200 chapters, called temples, throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and beyond, the Shriners are a truly international fraternity with a proud history and a bright future".
