Greetings all,
First, let me say what an honor you have bestowed
upon me by electing me as your Grand Monarch.
Lady Karen and I are pleased to serve each and
every one of you in the coming year.
I would also like to say Thank You to Past Grand
Monarch Mark L McCombs and Lady Joan. The two
of you made our journey through the line such a
wonderful experience. What a great convention was
put on by them in Perrysburg, Ohio. If you missed the
National Convention you really missed out. Look for
pictures in this Grotto magazine.
Congratulations to David Korb and Lady Kelly on
being elected Grand Captain of the Guard. It was an
honor passing my grand line ring down to you.
Congratulations, also, to Marty Trent on being elected
Grand Treasurer. You are stepping into some big
shoes, but I am confident you will rise to the
challenge.
Lady Karen’s charm charity is The League of
Miracles. It is an organization that provides
baseball diamonds for children with special needs. It
is a not-for-profit organization where special needs
children, up to the age of eighteen, can play baseball.
They can be in a wheelchair or they can be assisted
by a parent. It is wonderful to watch these children
having so much fun.
Since I am talking about charity, let me address our
foundation. The five foundation trustees have set a
budget that this year they are living to. This is
important because they have made substantial cuts
that affect the giving of the Foundation. Chairman
Jim Payton has been working really hard to make this
possible. The trustees are doing an excellent job
looking after our funds.
Let's talk membership
and retention. We
must retain the
members that we have
now in order to grow.
We must find them
something to do.
Every member wants
to feel like they are
needed. Give them a
job setting up for an
event, helping with the
event, even if it is
doing cleanup after the event. Give every member
something to do, hold them accountable and
remember to say THANK YOU. Remember what it
was like when you came into the Grotto.
Membership into the Grotto was an honor and a
privilege. The Grotto has to be more than just
another meeting. Grotto is about having fun.
Nobody says remember that time we were at a
meeting. No, it was remember that time we were at
the Grotto picnic, or we were at the Grotto parade, or
we were at the Grotto dance. The Grotto is about
fun.
So in closing, remember, Grotto membership is a
privilege, and you can honor that privilege by
having fun.
Fraternally,
Mike Dempsey
Grand Monarch of the Grottoes of North America
Introducing Grand Monarch Michael and First Lady Karen Dempsey
THE GRAND MONARCH’S MESSAGE

Helping children with Autism is a passion of mine.

Wednesday at the 127th Annual Session, there was a bit of magic and mystery in the air. Bowling was an
added event this year for those who didn’t want to golf. Later, an ice cream social started the evening,
followed by the official Grand Opening. Afterward, with everyone already dressed for an evening of
Halloween fun, the Hospitality Room Contest began.
Below are some photos to show the Tricks and Treats of the first night of the
Holidays with the Grotto Family!

Thanksgiving dinner was delicious and very well attended.
Blessings were bountiful as all enjoyed this very special evening.
Pictured with Chairman of the Humanitarian Foundation, Jim
Payton and Trustee PGM Richard Faust is PGM Michael
Yuskowatz, who presented HF with a $10,000 check from the
Esther and George Jaruga Charitable Foundation in memory of his
daughter-in-law’s uncle who was a dentist.

Entertainer Johnny Counterfit provided some great songs, and

America was surrounded in the blessings of
Family, Friends, Fellowship and Fun.

As the week drew to an end, a new Grand Monarch was crowned, clown
competitions heated up and the
Prophets celebrated New Year’s Eve during the Red Tassel Party.

The Supreme Council Office and
Grand Line Officers would like to thank
Scott Nave of Singara Grotto
and Robert Stubbs of Sahara Grotto
for providing these pictures from the
127th Annual Session.
Your time and contribution is
greatly appreciated.
We hope everyone enjoys a brief look at this
convention. We will be adding these pictures,

Enjoy!
On the last day of the Annual Session each year, a new Grand Monarch is
installed. We would like to wish our new Grand Monarch and First Lady,
Michael and Karen Dempsey, a successful and fun-filled year. We hope
everyone gets the chance to meet this couple as they travel the Realm visiting the
Grottoes and Associations. May their work be inspiring and their journey safe.

Dear All,
It was wonderful to meet so many of you
at the Supreme Council Session in
Perrysburg, Ohio, this past June. I was
proud to represent the Daughters of
Mokanna and hope you gained a greater understanding
of our purpose and connection we have to the Grotto.
Thank you for your generous hospitality and the
opportunity to bring greetings.
One of the greatest highlights of the convention for me
was initiating 9 new members into our Order. Special
thanks to Immediate Past Grand Monarch Mark
McCombs for making that day possible. Welcome to our
newest Daughters; we know you will join our efforts in
supporting the Grotto and its charitable good works!
Sharon Warren - Poughkeepsie, NY
Patricia Phillips - Orient, OH
Pamela Adams - Youngsville, NC
Rosemary Ayhens - Baldwinsville, NY
Elizabeth Jarnagin - Van Nuys, CA
Patricia Fries - McMinnville, OR
Brenda Ward - Sarasota, FL
Sharlet Meyers - Greentown, IN
Linda Stratton - Columbus, OH
Another Session highlight was announcing to the
assembly that the Daughters of Mokanna contributed
nearly $10,000 to the Humanitarian Foundation this year.
Our purchases of Enchanted Lanterns nearly
doubled from last year, and many Daughters
contributed individually to the Fairchild Society. We are
very proud of this support.
I will step down as Supreme Mighty Chosen One
on September 17 at the close of our 98th Annual
Supreme Session in Canton, OH and pass the baton to
my very good friend Debbie Kempke of Al Sirat Caldron in
Cleveland, OH. I know you will give Debbie the same
support I received, and the relationship between our two
organizations will continue to strengthen and grow.
Debbie's email is [email protected].
May GM Mike, his officers and all Prophets and Ladies
enjoy safe travels and many successes in this year of
service.
God bless,
Cindy Gay, Supreme Mighty Chosen One
Daughters of Mokanna
A LITTLE GROTTO HISTORY
Ever wonder where your Grotto’s name came from, what the
Grotto ceremonial is based on, or what was being referred to
in a ceremonial paragraph? I have and in the last case it
took almost 40 years to find the answer.
As for the early Grotto names, and underlying story behind
the ceremonial, you only need to refer to the book “LALLA
ROOKH” by THOMAS MOORE written in the 1800s. As a
young Prophet, I was told this, by a Past Monarch or Past
Grand Monarch of Achbar or Amrou Grotto in approximately
1985, and found the book at the Ohio Wesleyan University
while living in Delaware, Ohio. I made an attempt to read
this masterpiece, but with work, a young family, traveling
with Khana Shahar Grotto, and learning my part in the
ceremonial, made the chore one of labor rather than love
and I gave up. Clark Wiley (then an officer at Ormus Grotto
in Dayton, Ohio, and Grotto traveling mate) made it through
the book with ease and appreciation. It should be pointed
out that I never met anyone else so disciplined in making the
time to read as his perceived practice to read a section out
of 4-5 novels an evening. For me, reading footnotes to
understand what I had just read in the previous paragraphs
was too much.
Time has marched on and I now find myself a has-been with
patience, desire, and time to re-attempt this book. For those
interested E-bay has multiple copies, and a wide range of
prices, depending on edition and cover material.
As I progress through this book I hope to report the origins of
many Grotto namesakes in future articles. As for the “what
was being referred to in a ceremonial paragraph,” I refer to
page 53 in the white/cream or blue colored GROTTO
FORMS AND CEREMONIES M.O.V.P.E.R. book, when his
majesty says “you have a fable of a frog which ambitioned to
become an ox.” What fable, what frog, and what really
happened? The internet and Google made short swift of it.
As I was fishing on my boat on Indian Lake Ohio and learn-
ing yet another part in the ceremonial I could no longer read
over this and move on. If I was going to say it, I ought to
know what it refers to. How was I too know this gem is from
“AESOP’S FABLES”? Google Aesop’s
Fables about frog and ox and you, too,
will know the meaning behind this
literary gem uttered by His Majesty.

Humanitarian Foundation Matters….
Your Humanitarian Foundation Trustees want to give a big thank
you to our guests for their generous donations during Thursday
night’s HF program at the International Convention in Perrysburg,
Ohio.
In the letter to our dental providers and Dr. of Smiles, there seems to
be some confusion. We have not discontinued our program. We
simply have exceeded our dental budget for 2017. We are working
hard to correct budget shortcomings. There are still preapproved
cases that will be paid when the work is completed. The Foundation
will be revising the guidelines to allow monies to be more widely
distributed. All cases will have to be preapproved, including routine
and preventive care. The preapprovals will have an expiration date
and will not be carried over for an indefinite time.
The Foundation welcomes our latest appointee, Bill Thomas, to our
board. He brings valuable tools for us to use. At the same time, we
want to thank PGM Dick Faust, for his time served on the board.
As of January 2018, we will again be helping as many Special
Needs Children as possible, one smile at a time.
On a final note, please continue to support our many fundraising
projects. Your donations will continue to help ease some of the
costs of dental care to the families
of these special needs children.
Yours in Goodfellowship,
James “Jim” Payton, PM
Chairman
