Like the Shriners, the Savage Clubs raise funds for charity, and have similar social aspirations. Here is a brief summary of their philosophy hanging on the wall of the Manawatu Savage Club: Surely it is high time for someone in California to establish a tiki-themed club along the same lines? :) And while they may not have adopted Australia's native culture as a model, I am intrigued by the Melbourne Savage Club - although it now looks like a refined gentlemen's club, there is definitely a South Seas element there - is there anyone in Melbourne on Tiki Central who would like to go and investigate its early days?
