Florida DeMolay is now accepting Letters of Intent from those Brothers who wish to stand for election as State Scribe for the 2008 calendar year.
Your letter of intent should include information on your DeMolay experiences, awards and honors earned, offices held, your skills with office automation tools (Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher), and if you have a computer readily available to use in your official duties.
In addition, the State Scribe, as an elected officer, is required to be an active participant in the activities of the State Chapter across the State of Florida. Details regarding transportation should also be included in your letter of intent. All Letters of Intent must include a statement by your Chapter Dad or Chairman that the Chapter is aware of this application, and that they approve of your candidacy as well as one from your parents or legal guardian.
All letters should be emailed to Dad Ron Blaisdell, and mailed to the State Office address, with a postmark no later than December 1, 2007. Interviews of all candidates will be conducted with the Executive Staff and the final candidates will appear before the State Chapter for Q&A and elections.
Installation will be held at Mini-Conclave.
For any additional questions, please email Dad Ron Blaisdell, or call the Florida DeMolay toll-free number, and press “0″ to be connected with Dad Blaze.
We look forward to seeing a number of qualified candidates for this very important State office.
On Saturday. October 20th, the Florida Jurisdictional Chapter traveled to Ocala for a Saturday afternoon full of activity.
Eleven new Brothers were inducted into the Initiatory Degree, and twelve received the DeMolay degree that afternoon. Brother Joel Swanson was invested with the Degree of Chevalier (which he was elected to receive in 1954), and Letters Temporary were presented to our newest Chapter in Ocala.
