The Monarchs Message

My fellow Prophets, First off, I want to thank the prophets at our July meeting for showering me with silly string for my birthday. My wife, Rocio, was kind enough to pick such suitable colors for me. I dont know about you, but I think I look good in pink! At our July meeting, we welcomed two new prophets into the realm: Sean Meehan and Kevin Kordes (North Hollywood No. 542). Ive heard that Sean likes to take off his shirt quite often. So, please be careful around him. At the rate our lodge is initiating North Hollywood Lodge Masons, we might as well move our monthly meetings there! In August, we will be having two more of our yearly BBQs at the United Cerebral Palsy homes in Sylmar, which take place on August 18th and August 25th. Chief Justice Dan Hood did a great job with the July BBQs, and we are all looking forward to the next two. It was heartwarming to see all of the prophets and their family members come out to the BBQs. If you can attend the next two in August, you will not regret it! Be sure to bring your kids too. For many Masonic groups, the month of August is black - Meaning, meetings are not scheduled for the entire month, and then pick-up again in September. Well, THIS Masonic group does not take any breaks and we WILL have a meeting in August. Beat that, Ubar! Lastly, I would like to wish Prophet and Master of Ceremonies, Andrew Zazzle Trotta and his wife, Katy, the best of luck, as they are moving to Washington D.C. at the end of August. Our fellow prophet and Chaplain, Joshua Manning, is also moving out of state. When (or if) you return to California, you both will undoubtedly have a place at Cinema Grotto. Good luck Brothers!

Yours in fellowship, Monarch Chris Plucinski
