WHO WE ARE

The Order of the Alhambra was founded by William Harper Bennett on February 29, 1904. Since its inception the Order of the Alhambra has grown and developed into a proud, charitable organization of Catholic men and women that are defined by the purposes that they adhere to.

Serving the Developmentally Disabled

Our service includes: donations to private schools educating developmentally disabled children and providing them with vocational skills; participating in Special Olympics; conducting recreation, field day programs and summer camps; providing field trips, boat rides, zoo trips, circus trips, picnics, Christmas parties, dinner dances, etc.

Sociability

Sociability is a dominant characteristic of the Order. It flows from another stated purpose of the Order, namely, “To promote social, fraternal and intellectual associations and through its Caravans provide a practical means to form enduring fellowship and friendship among its members.” The Order is a “fun” organization dedicated to doing worthwhile charitable work.
