What an extraordinary night for the Arizona Amaranth family. On May 9th, 2026, in Phoenix, Arizona, the beloved community gathered to install H.L. Susan Coulter as Grand Royal Matron and S.K. John Coulter as Grand Royal Patron — ushering in a year that will be nothing short of wonderful.
Their theme says everything: “Arizona Amaranth — What a Wonderful World.” From the stars Susan carries to the anchors John holds dear, from red roses and lilies of the valley to the timeless call of Anchors Aweigh — this leadership team steps forward with faith, warmth, and a heart for every person in this community. Their Scotty Dog mascot brings a smile to every room they enter, and their commitment to the Amaranth Diabetes Foundation reminds us that service is always at the center of what we do.
The court year ahead is full — school of instruction, visitations to all six subordinate courts, a grand reception, a Christmas celebration, and the culminating 70th Grand Court Session in Phoenix next May. This is your invitation to show up, to serve, and to celebrate the wonderful world the Arizona Amaranth family is building together.
Congratulations, Susan and John. May your year be filled with joy, purpose, and every rose along the way. 🌹⚓⭐
