Additionally, upon direction of the elected Potentate, participate in designated Kora Shrine events as well as promoting loyalty, brother-hood and Shrindom through drill or parade the enjoyment of the Nobility. The Kora Shrine Moped Unit shall also promote Kora Shrine Temple through participation in public function.

Brewster Doan and his wife Pauline a few years back traveled to Bermuda on vacation. During the time on the island they rode on mopeds for transportation. He liked riding them so much he came back and convinced a few of his friends to put together a shrine unit. For over 25 years plus years there has been a Moped Unit for the Kora Temple.

To become a member you have to apply and pay a small application fee that includes your first years dues, these fees will be returned if you are not voted on in.
