From the desk of ….
Grand Monarch David C. Blythe, Jr. and Lady Jenny
My year is winding down and our travels have been
quite enjoyable. We now look forward to seeing everyone visit us in our beautiful city of New Orleans. We do
hope ya’ll can make it to convention this year. New
Orleans offers such a variety of things to see and to do.
If you haven’t already made your reservations, I urge
you to do so without delay as the hotel seems to be
filling up quickly.
I received a copy of Oola Khan Grotto’s newsletter
and so enjoyed the message they wrote in it by an
Author Unknown, that I am having it re-printed here and
do hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I send my
thanks to the Prophets of Oola Khan for providing such
an enjoyable read.
THEN IT’S WINTER—Author Unknown
You know time has a way of moving quickly and
catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems
just yesterday that I was young, just married, embarking
on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like
eons ago, I wonder where those years went. I know
that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back
then and of all my hopes and dreams. But, here it is
the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise. How
did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and
where did my youth go?
I remember well seeing older people through the
years thinking that those older people were years away
from me and that winter was so far off that I could not
fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like. But, here
it is, my friends are retired and getting grey, they move
slower and I see an older person now. Some are in
better or worse shape than me, but, I see the great
change. Not like the ones that I remember, who were
young and vibrant, but, like me, their age is beginning
to show and we are now those older folks that we used
to see.
Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a
real target for the day! Taking a nap is not a treat anymore it's mandatory! If I don't on my own free will I just
fall asleep where I sit! So, now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches, pains, loss
of strength, ability to go and do things that I wish I had
done but never did! But, at least I know, that though the
winter has come and I'm not sure how long it will last,
this I know, that when it's over on this earth it's NOT
over.
Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't
done, things I should have done, but indeed, there are
many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.
So, if you're not in your winter yet let me remind you,
that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever
you would like to accomplish in your life please do it
quickly! Don't put things off too long!
Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as
you can never be sure whether this is your winter or
not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life so, live for today and say all the things
that you want your loved ones to remember and hope
that they appreciate and love you for all the things that
you have done for them in all the years past! "Life" is a
gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to
those who come after. Make it a fantastic one.
LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING
FUN! BE HAPPY! HAVE A FUN DAY!
A new adventure will begin!
And remember:
"It is health that is the real wealth and not pieces of
gold and silver.” "LIVE HAPPY IN THIS YEAR AND
EVERY YEAR! CONSIDER THIS: TODAY IS THE
OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST
YOU'LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT
LASTS.”
Going out is good. Coming home is better! You forget
names but it's OK because other people forgot they
even knew you!!! The things you used to care to do,
you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you
don't care to do them anymore. You tend to use more
4 letter words: "What?" "When?"
Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not
safe to wear it anywhere. You have 3 sizes of clothes
in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear. Old is
good in some things: Old Songs, movies, and best of
all, OLD FRIENDS!!
It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That
Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.
Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" and “Laissez les bon
Temps Roulez” “Let the Good Times Roll!”

Be safe in your travels….we will see ya’ll n NOLA!

My pin this year follows that theme — a Mardi Gras mask. The cost is $10 and you can

AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
ZAFAR – John W. Knelly, III, Monarch 2015
By: Deputy Grand Monarch Mark L. McCombs
ZELICA – Lawrence M. Buck, Monarch 2015
The Chief Justice of a Grotto is responsible for giving the
obligation to new Grotto candidates. The obligation is of the
upmost importance and is most impressive and memorable
when done with confidence, precision, and eye to eye contact.
ZENDAH – Jerry A. Haywood, Monarch 2015
ZIBA – Jeremy Horton, PM, Monarch 2015
This requires memorization by the Chief Justice. Memorization
of these four paragraphs demonstrates a commitment to
excellence and a desire to hold himself, and his Grotto, to a
higher standard.
ZIBA – Frank E. Kiefer, Monarch 2016
ATTENTION ALL GROTTO MEMBERS

A determination of excellence by any of the above can be

Did you know?
Azusa Grotto in
Charlotte, North
Carolina merged
with Nubia
Grotto in New
Bern, North
Carolina.
I would like to start by expressing our sympathy regarding the loss
of Executive Secretary Emeritus, Bill Wears, PGM. I know he will be
missed by all who knew him.
The Daughters of Mokanna is a social organization for women and it
is associated with the Grottoes of North America. Its purpose is to assist and cooperate
with the members of the Grotto and help them in their social and philanthropic
endeavors. The major Humanitarian work is Dental for Children with Special Needs as
well as other causes.
The minimum number it takes to form a new Caldron is 25. Eligibility requirements
consist of being a female who is 18 years or older and related to a Veiled Prophet of
the Enchanted Realm, a Master Mason in good standing, with a recognized Masonic
Lodge or a female relative of a female in a Masonic affiliated organization. The Supreme Caldron is the governing body and it meets annually in September. The
Supreme Mighty Chosen One visits all the subordinate Caldrons during her year.
The 97th Supreme Session of the Daughters of Mokanna will be at the Crowne Plaza
Hotel on September 14-17th, 2016, in Little Rock, Arkansas. We would love to have as
many Daughters as possible, along with their Prophets. We have a Tag-A-Longs group
for any men in attendance.
We were honored to be asked to donate DOM Fezzes to the Attleboro Masonic
Museum. We donated four different Fezzes that had been worn by women of the
Caldron. The DOM have a Blue Fez for new members, a Red Fez for the Presiding
Mighty Chosen One of a subordinate Caldron and a White Fez with a purple tassel after
she completes her year and becomes a Past MCO. If she becomes a Supreme Officer
she will retain the White Fez but exchange the purple tassel with a gold one. The
Supreme Mighty Chosen One wears a Purple Fez with a black tassel.
Any lady of a Prophet who is interested in becoming a DOM or any Grotto that would
like to have a Caldron for their ladies, may contact me, or our Rodeval, Barbara Turner,
for information. We also have a Supreme Caldron that a lady may join if there is not a
Caldron in her vicinity.
Fraternally,
Susan Benson
Supreme Mighty Chosen One

Humanitarian Foundation Matters…..
DOOM and GLOOM!
Today, all we seem to hear is how BAD the market
is doing, how POOR our INVESTMENTS are doing.
We are making no IMPROVEMENT in our
PORTFOLIOS, our PENSIONS are SHRINKING,
when is everything going to right itself?
We, the Trustees of your FOUNDATION, are, and
have been, looking at required services, all
expenditures, trimming of all acceptable costs in an
effort to MAINTAIN and SOLIDIFY the foundation for
the FUTURE.
In order to MAINTAIN a BALANCED BUDGET,
changes are required within the Humanitarian
Foundation. Please bare with us as we implement
changes to help the Foundation GROW.
In saying that, we can PROUDLY say—YOU the
PROPHETS and LADIES—have kept us on the EVEN
KEEL. YES—our PORTFOLIO has not GROWN the
way we hoped it would, but the GENEROSITY of the
PROPHETS and LADIES is keeping us going as we
continue to PROVIDE DENTISTRY for OUR SPECIAL
NEEDS CHILDREN. Without YOUR LOYAL
SUPPORT, we would be in trouble.
With your CONTINUED support and a better return
on YOUR investments, YOUR Foundation should grow
for the FUTURE.
With that, the Trustees offer CONGRATULATIONS
to Thomas Lilies of Bendemeer Grotto for completing
the $25,000.00 level. The Foundation THANKS you
for a job well done.
Meet Your
2016 Poster Child,
Annabelle!!
Annabelle is 10 years old and
has been diagnosed with Downs
Syndrome. She has been in the
dental program since 2013.
Zendah Grotto, in Tampa,
Florida, is her Sponsor.
As with all our children, we
think of Annabelle as one of our
very special young ladies.
We send our sincere gratitude
to Zendah Grotto for their
sponsorship!
A thank you note from a parent…
As a single mother of two children, one with the Fragile X
disability and the other being in their senior year of college,
you will never know how much your organization means to me
and my family!
May God bless you in all you do for those in need!
Kindest Regards,
Karen S.
North Carolina
Yours in Goodfellowship,
Shuards Sutherland, PGM
Chairman, Humanitarian Foundation
P.S. Leroy is still watching and is very proud of the
work the Grottoes are doing. Remember to book your
Toothbrush Days, Get Clowning around, use your Mini
Bikes and Cars and be seen by the Public …. These
are the people who can help us GROW.
Considering holding a Toothbrush Day?
Contact the Humanitarian Foundation
Office at 614-933-0711 to learn how your Grotto can
raise funds for the dentistry program by passing out
toothbrushes at your next fundraising event!
Lake Erie Lodge #347 presentation of $150 check from the
Masonic Blood Bank to the Humanitarian Foundation was
received by Past Trustee Dr. David Shapter (center) of Erepa
Grotto. MW Brian Page (R) and Prophet Fred “Bud” Wheeler (L)
are pictured with him. This was remuneration for blood
donations by Masonic Brothers of the Lodge located in
Girard, Pennsylvania.

who was also Executive Secretary for the Supreme Council for many years.
