DeMolay & Grand High Priest Reception

Today started out in Xenia with the DeMolay Tournament of Champions and the Statewide Initiation of nine new DeMolays including the sons of Two Past Start Masters Councilors. We also had around 50 adults and 50 DeMolay's present at the event. What a great way to start the day with some great ritual work. Afterwards they held several games in addition to a ritual competition. One of the best things was the Master Inquisitor was 12 years old and handled the position like a pro.

Later in the day I headed to Farmersville for the 3rd District Grand High Priest Reception. In addition to the Companions, three Past Grand High Priests from the 3rd District we also had Grand High Priest MEC Don Owens and several other Grand Officers present. Travelling with him were REC Chester Burton Grand Chaplain, REC Robert May Grand Aide, REC Ron Hart Grand Guard, REC Ed Howard Grand Musician. Also present was REC Norman Lincoln Grand Historian. We presented MEC Owens with the traditional 3rd District Grand High Priest shirt and custom lamp.
