‘Azim is ready for 2025’

    

Monarch Mike Sikos

Azim’s Monarch for the ensuing year was elected and installed last Friday, in a friendly sort of way, with his retinue of officers in a very moving ceremony at Masonic Hall. (The Magpie Mason could not be there, but I have to believe it was a very moving ceremony.)

Azim, The Handsomest Grotto in the Realm, has a robust schedule for 2025. From the publicity:

Anyway, congratulations to Past Monarch Brian Donlon. I wish I could have gotten out more to support the Lucky 7 gatherings. My New Year’s resolution is “More Grotto!”
