Happy Fourth of July from the Prophets of Selama Grotto! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the blessings of freedom, the strength of our nation, and the friendships that make life worth celebrating.

As the "Mischief Makers of Masonry," we believe every great Independence Day should include family, fellowship, laughter, good food... and at least one terrible dad joke.

Here's one for you:
💥 Why did the American flag go to school?
Because it wanted to show its true colors! 🇺🇸😄

Whether you're firing up the grill, enjoying a parade, watching fireworks, or spending time with those you love, we hope your day is filled with smiles and unforgettable memories.

From our Grotto family to yours, have a safe, fun, and patriotic Independence Day!

God Bless America! 🇺🇸🦅🎇
