This is driving my husband and myself crazy -
Please, what are the words (all rise) that the members
utter at the beginning of every meeting? Please?

Mordicai??
Sounds like a verse from the Bible.

That would be Moritati. The whole motto seems to be a clever play on
"Morituri te salutemus" (think I got that right), the Roman gladiator
motto of "We who are about to die salute you."

Mordicai is probably the green grocer in Port Asbestos.

The possum lodge motto is "quando omnes flunkus, moriate" (when all else
fails, play dead)
I hope this helps

To all who scratched our nagging itch - Thank you!
We'll vow not to go toward the lights on highways either.
