Welcome to the Realm: ZooBa Grotto

The Realm continues to grow with the institution of ZooBa Grotto in Battle Creek, Michigan! This was a wonderful two day event filled with Good Fellowship and Fun. 

On Friday, July 19, 2025, those that were in attendance had a tour of the Battle Creek Masonic Lodge, which is also where the new Grotto will be meeting. There was a wonderful dinner at a nearby restaurant, and after everyone returned to the hall for more fellowship.

The next day, on Saturday, July 19th, 2025, the chartering and institution of ZooBa Grotto took place. The Grand Monarch remarked in his travel report, "Good Fellowship was had by all for the rest of evening."

In attendance were many Prophets travelling from throughout the realm, including Grand Monarch Robert Lorenz, Jr., GM, and First Lady Theresa Lorenz, Deputy Grand Monarch Marty Haley, PM, Grand Treasurer Martin Trent, PM, and his Lady Bonita, Grand Venerable Prophet Jeffrey Snyder, PM, and his Lady Lisa, Grand Captain of the Guard Mark Victoria, PM, and his lady Amanda, and from the Humanitarian Foundation Michael Hosler, PGM, and his Lady Jan.

We are incredibly excited to welcome ZooBa Grotto to the Realm. It is because of this continued growth that we are able to continue to provide sympathy and Good Fellowship to our brothers and friends.
