WHAT IS THE EL
JAALA GROTTO?
Founded in 1948,
El Jaala Grotto is a group of over 200 Master Masons from about 45
different Masonic Lodges that are dedicated to the noble cause of
providing dental care for children with special needs. Through
its
Humanitarian Foundation and
Enchanted Lantern programs, the Grottos of North America give
aid to thousands of children each year. The meaning of our Grotto's
name, El Jaala, is "the goal,
prize, or award".
