Wednesday

First I went down to the Scottish Rite (after a stop at Costco to pick up the shrimp and veggie tray) and set up the Library for the Meet and Greet event.

For awhile I was worried that no one would show up. But there was a group that started to come and so it begins. There will be four Wednesday opportunites for people to come in and get to know each other a little better.




We would like to raise some money to improve the library but the main purpose of these events is just to give the members a chance to come in and socialize.

Even the Grand Master stopped by. He was between speaking engagements. He spoke to the High Twelve Club at noon and then tonight he was going to speak at the DeMolay Legion of Honor Annual Banquet.












The pictures below are of that event. Every year on March 18 we gather to hold out meeting and remember the death of the Last Grand Master of DeMolay. (See Below)



Last year I was the Commander and this year I was elected Secretary/Treasurer. I enjoy this group. All members of the DeMolay Legion of Honor. Those with Red Cords were actually DeMolay members. The white cords (mine) are Honorary Legion of Honor members.

The Legion of Honor is the highest Honor conferred by the International Supreme Council of the Order of DeMolay. Since amendment of the Statutes of the International Supreme Council in 1985, nominees for the DeMolay Legion of Honor must be at least 25 years of age before January 15. The International Supreme Council of the Order of DeMolay may confer the DeMolay Legion of Honor (LOH) upon a Senior DeMolay for outstanding leadership in some field of endeavor, service to humanity, or for success in fraternal life, including adult service to the Order of DeMolay. The International Supreme Council may confer upon a Freemason, who was not a DeMolay, who has performed unusual and meritorious service in behalf of the Order of DeMolay, or who has evidenced a spirit of cooperation and appreciation for the Order of DeMolay, the Honorary Legion of Honor (HLOH).
Thanks for stopping by, Hugs, ARTYAL, j
