MONARCH:
Welcome Prophets and Ladies, we had our first meeting for 2025 on April 17th. We had the usual number numbers attending. We would like to see a bigger turnout of members.
The Grotto wants ideas as to where we can make donations to, VFW's, American Legions, Fire Depts, and others.
This money comes come from the sale of Grotto Picnic Park, which was built by the members of Kismet Grotto by donations from its members.
At last months session it was motioned, seconded and passed for Kismet Grotto to pay members dues, starting in January 2026.
We will be presenting 50yr Pins and Certificates to Roger Dillman, Robert Keas PM, Robert Steven and Franklin Wagner, wishing all will be there.
