Ohio DeMolay Conclave




I will start out with the normal DeMolay summary..."and a fun time was had by all". I helped to take several of the 18 DeMolay's which RH McMillan in Xenia took to Conclave this weekend. Greg Fyffe of RH McMillan was elected the new Deputy State Master Councilor. But before I let all the happens out of the bag at once, Thursday's extra activity was for those Chapters who achieved their membership goals. Friday we had our opening session, Legion of Honor and Masonic Recognition. REC Kieth O'Dell, Grand King, was one the Legion of Honor receipts who was on the Advisory Council for many years at West Union. Our Grand High Priest Robert Thomas, who is also a Senior DeMolay, was present and gave some inspiring words (along with the always nice check). On Saturday, we recognized two new Governors Don Van Horn in the 2nd District Cleveland who is replacing Ed Hmapton who was retiring along with Randy Clark for the 7th District (SW Ohio) who replaced Mike Himes on his retirement. I know both of these retiring Governors have put in several years of hard work and will continue helping DeMolay out whenever possible in the future. In addition, A.J. Thomas was installed as the new State Master Councilor for the retiring SMC Sam Cohen. After a reception and dance on Saturday most crashed in the rooms to prepare for the long journey home on Sunday.
