Saturday 12/12/15 at Tellus360, 24 E King St., Lancaster PA. 2pm-4pm. Dress, Christmas/Holiday Festive.
Prophets! Join us at Tellus 360 tomorrow for the installation of officers. There is a brief open ceremony followed by libations, lies, and good times. At 4pm stay for the Lancaster Santa Stumble and see 1000 drunken Santas, Mrs. Clauses, Buddy The Elves, and Cousin Eddie’s walking around the Square.
Our past Monarch and soon to be Past Secretary, Seth Anthony will also be getting installed as Worshipful Master of Treichler Lodge the same evening. So if crowds of rowdy Santas are not your thing, support Prophet Seth as he takes the East.
Cheers,
Evilpete – Monarch Elect
Ubar Grotto is very pleased to have no less than 3 (!) worthy Prophets vying for the position of Venerable Prophet of our Grotto. In an effort to help the members get to know these Prophets a little better, each of them has been asked five questions, the responses to which will be posted here.
Pro. Harry is ready to go to war for your Grotto rights! Okay, well, he’ll at least go to the buffet line.
We continue our tour of candidates with Prophet Harry Smith:

Here we have a rare picture of Jack captured in the wild. He appears to be engaging a behavior common among Masons and prevalent among Past Masters – eating.
We start are tour of candidates with Prophet Jack Harley:
Age: Under 100
Place / County of Residence: Epharta, Pee Yay
Home Lodge: 665 (whew, that was close)
What skills can you offer as Venerable Prophet of Ubar Grotto? Knowing when to say “No.”
What is your favorite part of the Grotto experience? The fog, just before passing out.
What are your goals as you progress through the line, especially if you are elected to the office of Monarch? Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, staying alive.
Your Monarch is watching. Be warned.
Ubar Grotto’s June meeting is always reserved as our second Ceremonial of the year and Ubar was glad to indoctrinate 10 brothers into the world that we all know and love. Heck, we even have proof for Supreme, as our Supreme Council District Deputy, Honorary Ubarian, and all around nice guy Pro. Victor Mann, PM, was willing to make the trip from New York to partake in the special Ubar shenanigans.
Prior to the meeting’s start, we had quite a delicious meal prepared by the team at Commonwealth Caterers. Chicken Cordon Bleu and baked ziti with meatballs were the main dishes; word has it that there weren’t any leftovers. The team even concocted a special beverage that the Prophets well enjoyed.
Before conducting business, Pro. and Shiek Jay “Laser” handed out even more Enchanted Lanterns, as the Prophets feel that we haven’t given enough to the Fairchild Society. Thanks to Pro. Dave Steffie we were able to auction off even more items for the benefit of getting kids with disabilities some dental work. All said and done, a total of more than $150 was raised. Well done, Prophets!
Ubar’s business portion was a quick meeting, and the only officer missing was our Chaplain, due to a family vacation (we at Ubar strive to the ideals that family is first, and wish to convey that to every member of the Fraternity). In his stead, Pro. Dan Loughin had to step in (seriously, who keeps giving that guy jobs?) After a quick meeting, we moved to the Ceremonial, where even more hipsters were brought into the fold (editors note: we at Ubar have nothing against hipsters. We welcome all into our group, so long as you enjoy our shenanigans.) Afterwards, pipes and papers where unofficially smoked.
We are off for the summer, with some possible updates coming over the next two months, so please stay tuned. Otherwise, we will see you all at our September meeting on the 27th! Grotto on, Prophets!
