With the assistance of Mom Carolyn Smith of George Ulee Lord Chapter, a proclamation has been issued by Governor Christ declaring the month of March to be DeMolay Month in Florida. You may download a copy of the proclamation and print it out for use at your Chapter as we celebrate the 90th birthday of the Order of DeMolay.
Escambia Chapter held its annual incarceration of the districts One and Two, Masters and Wardens, Grotto and Shrine Leadership. All went extremely well again, for the second time. The support we received from the Master Masons in these two districts continues to be stupendous.
The night consisted of a wonderful spaghetti dinner, cooked by our Junior Deacons father, Wes Martin and dessert was provided by Mom Lori Yarbrough. I am told the spaghetti sauce is a strictly protected family secret.
After dinner we met in the Chapter room where the arrestees posted their bail. Once bail was posted they received certificates for themselves and the Lodges or organizations they represented.
Following the release from jail, performances of the Father Talk, (John Martin), Dad Land talk (Jon Marange SC), and the Ceremony of Lights by Jeff Meister Jr, MC); all performances were done very well and they each received many accolades from the audience members.
If your chapter hasn’t tried this event, you should. We have gotten rave reviews from the Master Masons in our area both years. We intend this to be an annual event on the last Saturday of February each year.
Hear ye, hear ye!
