Wow, ISGA 2026 is in the books. Junior Past President Vance Martin would like to share some final thoughts. It was a great year! I was able to visit every grotto in ISGA and was present for or assisted with the initiation of 19 new prophets. I represented ISGA at 39 events over the year. In the end we had a new grotto join us, Merou Grotto 113.
Lady Erin and I would like to thank everyone who came, and hope you had a wonderful time. We heard many positive comments on the hats and wristlets made by DT Designs.
Friday night began at Triptych Brewing , who produced a special b**r for us, Mokanna's Illinois Bock!. The owner, Anthony, gave a wonderful tour of the brewing facility, and Grand Trustee Bainter found a new b**r to drink.
Saturday began at YoYo's Coffee with Grand Captain of the Guard Mark Victoria s inaugural Coffee Degree. Much fun and caffeine was had by all. The ladies then left for w**e and lunch at Sun Singer. The men headed to Mahomet Lodge # 220 AF & AM for their business meeting and election of officers. After the meeting we had Breaking Taco at the lodge. After lunch we had a private tour of the Fighting Illini Men's Basketball training facility.
We ended the evening with a wonderful dinner at Papa Del's Pizza Factory and officer installation.
Illini Grotto was thrilled to host their first convention and we hope everyone who attended enjoyed themselves.
