Florida DeMolay converged upon Gainesville, FL from July 25 through 29 for its annual Summer Conclave. The events throughout the several days at Conclave demonstrated strong brotherhood and fellowship, and the brothers of Florida DeMolay walked away from Conclave united to their own “greater good.”

Bro. Brian “JR,” State Master Councilor
Bro. Gregor, State Senior Councilor
Bro. Lonnie, State Junior Councilor
