WHO WE ARE
A Chapter of the The Grottoes of North America, we are a charitable organization, dedicated to promoting fellowship, friendship, and fun amongst Master Masons.
The Grotto leads it votaries through an Enchanted Realm where the spirit of mirth touches the hearts and evolves cheerful companionship, in joy of which they are brought near together in helpful sympathy, which is none the less true because the eye beams with delight and laughter goes with a Prophet’s greeting when hand clasps hand in its mystic fellowship.
ACTIVITIES
Zuleika Grotto is achieving more with our initiatives than ever before. We work on many exciting projects to help improve the lives of others, and are very proud of the progress we continue to make. Learn more about what we do, who we help, and how we work every day to promote positive change.
REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY
Supporting Children during COVID-19
Our parade season was cancelled in 2020, but that didn't stop our Elite Guard unit from making kids smile. With birthday parades replacing the traditional birthday party, how about bringing the biggest birthday cake they have even seen to their house! Yes, our Elite Guard really stepped up, putting smiles on everyone's faces.
HELPING OTHERS
Charity
Our dedicated charity is The Humanitarian Foundation, which brings “Special Smiles” to children with special needs by providing them much-needed dental care. The program helps cover the costs of dental treatment, including hospital and anesthesia costs, when needed, for children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular disorders, special needs, and organ transplant recipients.
This year we participated in a local "Trunk and Treat" Halloween event where we handed out lots of candy, toothbrushes, and raised some money for the Humanitarian Foundation. And we had plenty of laughs too - Past Monarch George Abraham made balloon animals while dressed as a clown, Past Monarch Bob Chapman brought out the puppet line skeletons, and Bette Chapman was a very popular Tooth Fairy!
PATRIOTISM
One Step at a Time
At Zuleika Grotto MOVPER, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing this issue, always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.
PARADES ARE BACK!
