At Mini-Conclave in January, Connor G. was elected District Master Councilor for District 3.

Maximilian O. was installed Master Councilor in February, and since then we have been focused on growing our Chapter, increasing our contact with the Lodges and helping out in our district.  We have initiated 3 new members already this year.

Sion K. was elected to serve as Master Councilor again in July and we have two first time Councilors (Airon K. and Andrew T.)

At Conclave in July Connor G. was appointed Illustrious Knight Commander of Col. James “Nick” Rowe Priory (Florida Knighthood); and Sion K. was named Squire Commander. We had several guys compete in the sports competitions, and Airon K. placed second (out of 2) in the 200-yard dash.

        This year has also seen some changes in our Advisory Board.  Bryan and Jennifer Coffey, who have been the driving force on the Board for the last few years have moved to Tennessee, and Harvey and Sandra King who are well known in our District have stepped up to work with the Chapter as Chairman of the Board and Chapter Advisor. We have also added Noelle Tingler (a DeMolay Mom) and John Bidoli (a Senior DeMolay) to the board. 

DeMolay is unique among youth groups in that it genuinely is led by the members. Our Advisors work primarily to liaise with community adults, to answer questions and to drive our members around the state. We are here to help them learn and grow, not to tell them what to do.

If you would like to learn more, please feel free to attend any of our meetings, board meetings, and fun events.

Dale Chapman Chapter had a very busy year. The Chapter served on numerous degree teams and installation teams throughout our district (and around the state).

We initiated one new member in 2018. DeMolay can be any age from 12 – 20. Chapter statistics: 1 -12 yr old, 1 -14 yr old, 3 -15 yr olds, 3 -16 yr olds, 2 -17 yr olds, 4 -18 yr olds, 4 -19 yr olds, and 7 -20 yr olds. Of these members, 10 are actively participating in most events, and the others come when they can.

Sion K. presided during the first half of 2018. During his term, the Chapter went to K1 Speed in Orlando and rode go-carts. We also went to Conclave (5 days in Jacksonville) where Connor G. was appointed District Deputy State Master Councilor for District 3. During Sion’s term, the Chapter focused on service to the Masonic fraternity, helping with mowing and workdays at St. Johns lodge and earning money by mowing the Shrine Club in Deland.

Xavier V. presided over the 2nd half of 2018. During his term, the Chapter went to Cotillion (in Orlando) where our officers served on the degree team and several officers served in the honor guard. We have continued to help with mowing and workdays at St. Johns and the Shrine Club. We were proud to work with the Rainbow Girls at the Grand Master’s Official Visit, and we had a wonderful time manning the Bar-B-Que at the Golf tournament. In addition to Masonic service, we collected books and other items for the UM Children’s Home.
