You can never be too impressed by the hard work and dedication of our Masonic youth. They put in a tremendous amount of time and effort to their Chapters and to the larger Masonic community. It is amazing that they do this on Lodge sponsorships and donations alone! A few years ago when we started attending parades as a district again, calls went out to all the bodies in Masonry. The largest responder was both our DeMolay Chapters – Ridge and Meridian Sun. To thank them for their unflinching support over the years in our Masonic family activities we have donated the proceeds from the parade tee shirt to them each year. This year the sales allowed for a $175 donation to each DeMolay chapter in Erie County. On August 19th the District was able to get over and award the gift to the council. Don’t worry Meridian Sun we are coming to you next!
While in attendance to their communication a very enthusiastic presentation about the DeMolay “Squires” program was given. Designed for boys age 9 to 11 this gives an opportunity to allow the youngest men to learn what DeMolay has to offer. Ridge is actively looking to build this up in their Chapter. If you have a boy that might be interested let the Chapter know! More details can be found here.
