A Four Event Day!

Nothing like a four event day to get you motivated to do more! The morning started out with the 3rd District School of Instruction held in West Carrollton. While the crowd was down a little due to all the events going on today, it was a nice program by DEO Rick Bielicki and finished up our training for the year. Next, I headed down to the Dayton Temple where two events were taking place. First, I went up stairs to the DeMolay State Ritual Competition. They had over 30 participating in the competition and it appeared around 70 total in attendance. It was great to see so many DeMolay's taking an interest in ritual and in conjunction with it they were also having a couple other activities. Afterwards, I headed downstairs to the Scottish Rite Mid-Winter program. Several Valleys from around the state were in attendance and participating in the portrayal of several degrees. While I could only stay for one degree, I got a chance to say hello to several persons I haven't seen in a while. I then picked up Pam to head to Cleveland for the 16th District Grand High Priest Reception. (We, of course, had to make the mandatory stop at Grandpa's Cheese Barn of the way up to the event.) They always put on a nice event and tonight was no different. Most of the Grand Officers were in attendance. After dinner and a few speeches, we headed home since tomorrow we have a family event in Findlay.
