July 2025 Monarch's Message

Greetings Prophets:

I hope that all of you are in good health and are enjoying our warm weather. Al Sirat Grotto is

doing well, but we miss those Prophets that haven't attended any of our activities lately.

Six Prophets and Ladies recently attended the 135th Annual Supreme Council Sessions. It was

held at the Crown Plaza Columbus North Hotel in Worthington (Columbus) Ohio from June 8 through 15, 2025. We all had a great time, enjoyed meeting with other prophets throughout the realm, and made new friends.

To all of you, these sessions are not for officers only, but for all Grotto members. Remember I'm not only talking about the Supreme Council Sessions but include OGA association gatherings, regular monthly meetings, Grotto installations, monthly Fermentation outings, and of course visitations to other Grottoes.

By the time this issue is in your hands we will have celebrated Flag Day June 14th, Father's Day June 15th, the start of Summer June 20th, and Al Sirat's Annual Summer Picnic June 21st. I hope you all enjoyed the activities that happened on those days and look forward to other upcoming summer events.

On August 22nd at 6:30 PM we plan to meet at b.a Sweeties (6770 Brookpark Rd, Cleveland, OH) for Putt-Putt Golf and Ice Cream. This event is open to all and I hope you will attend. The price for Putt-Putt is $11.00 per person, paid by each golfer. The ice cream is your responsibility. Please RSVP to either myself at edhoover1952@gmail.com or our Entertainment Chairman, Bob Wehrle at bobjxi@aol.com.

With good fellowship, Monarch.
