DeMolay Foundation Scholarships

Sandra King

DeMolay is a service, leadership, and character-building organization. Therefore DeMolay makes sure that we not only have a great experience in DeMolay with access to great mentors, but we are always looking for programs that will assist our members to gain educational experience.

Annually, the DeMolay Foundation awards scholarships to Active and Senior DeMolays who excel in academics, DeMolay involvement, community/campus activities and show financial need. To qualify, brothers must submit an application and provide the required documentation.

Application Requirements…

The deadline to apply is April 1.

  • One letter of reference, signed and dated after April 1 of the previous year on school letterhead from a current or former teacher not related to you.  This letter must have a signature.  Just a typed name on plain paper will not be acceptable.
  • One letter of reference, signed and dated after April 1 of the previous year from a DeMolay advisor including their Advisor ID number.  Signature should not just be a typed name and ID number to be acceptable.

Original Glazed Donuts - Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme Fundraiser

Sandra King

Sion King (our Master Councilor for Aug. 2019- Jan. 2020) set a goal to raise $2000 this term. To motivate his brother DeMolay he told them that if they met that goal he would shave his head. Right now we have raised just under $1000 and he has roughly 1 month left in his term.

Last night he asked the guys to brainstorm ideas to raise the rest of the money.

We decided to hold some more fundraisers. Here’s how you can help:

  1. Buy Krispy Kreme Donuts from us. You can either buy online or find a DeMolay and pre-order them. We will deliver them to you on Friday, January 17th, or Saturday January 18th.
  2. Buy a coupon for one dozen Original Glazed® doughnuts. (Redeemable at participating Krispy Kreme retail shops only, not valid at grocery stores or other retail outlets that carry Krispy Kreme products.) ((This lets you buy now and eat later)). They are Convenient! Redeem your certificate anytime you visit Krispy Kreme.

Whether you buy a certificate or a dozen donuts from Dale Chapman DeMolay, you’re getting a great product and supporting your youth.

A bit of Christmas Cheer

Sandra King

Tonight Dad Bidoli, Sion K. and Connor G. met at Landmark lodge and collected all of the food we have gathered along with the Brothers of Landmark Lodge. They then went shopping with cash donations and $50 from our Almoner’s fund to purchase staples and Christmas Dinner for a family from a local high school.

Tomorrow Mom Tingler will drop the food off at the school for the family to enjoy.

We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Blessings of the New Year.

Deland Christmas Parade Report

Sandra King

Airon K. worked with the Tall Cedars this last Saturday to decorate their float for the Deland Christmas parade. We would like to express our appreciation to the Tall Cedars Forest 193 for including us on their float. Sion, Airon, and Zander (along with 2 of our advisors) had a lot of fun yelling Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and Felize Navidad while we traveled down Mainstreet Deland with the Tall Cedars, and Molly their MDA Ambassador.

Spaghetti Dinner Report

Sandra King

We would like to express a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in the spaghetti dinner fundraiser for Tommy Turlington tonight (Dec. 11, 2019).

We had four advisors, five officers and a prospect (little Ryon) at the fundraiser.

We would especially like to thank the officers of New Smyrna Beach Lodge for all of their cooking and preparation, and for inviting Dale Chapman Chapter DeMolay to serve the dinner. Special thanks also go out to everyone who donated a tip to the DeMolay.  We raised over $360 toward our trip to Mini Conclave ( our winter leadership convention).

ChickFilA sandwich and Card Games was a Success!

Sandra King

We had a great time at our ChickFilA sandwich and poker night tonight. A Great Big Thank You goes out to everyone who helped to support us.

In addition to buying sandwiches, several Masons hung out with us and visited. We did have a bit of a snafu with Chick-Fil-A as they had a different date on their calendar, but they were able to come through for us and we had 50 sandwiches in an electric hot bag at the lodge by 7:15.

Everyone had a lot of fun. Several of our members brought friends (prospects) and some of our less active members were joined us for the night. We had a great visit with a Senior DeMolay who works at Pine Ridge High school. We hope to see him again.

 Remember – We will not be meeting the day before Thanksgiving, so the next time we get together will be for our fun night on Dec. 4th. We will have a meeting on Dec. 11th and either a fun night or practice on Dec. 18th. 

I hope all of you, your friends and your families have a blessed and very Happy Thanksgiving!

Helping in the Community

Sandra King

Many if not most members of DeMolay are active in other civic organizations in their communities. Today we would like to recognize those members who are boy scouts.

This weekend and last weekend Boy Scouts all over the US were collecting food for local food pantries (Scouting for Food). Last weekend, Scouts distributed door hangers to let their neighbors know about the drive. On the second, Scouts revisited those houses to pick up bags full of canned food, cereal, pasta, peanut butter, juice and other nonperishable items.

Airon, Andrew and Zander, members of Dale Chapman Chapter, are also Boy Scouts with Troop 599. They spent several hours placing the door hangers last weekend and then this weekend, were back out lugging bags of food to vehicles and then to the local collection point.
