Our Masonic Youth Group Notes

January 31st, 2009

DeMolay teaches many important lessons, from how one should live to be a servant and a citizen, all the way to character building and leadership. Keeping this in mind, DeMolay places importance on honoring those to whom honors are due, and there is no better representation of this than the degree of Chevalier.

On January 31st, 2009, New Castle Builders Chapter took a special moment to recognize State Junior Councilor, Denny Lennox (Son of Brother Scott Tressler) for his hard work in promoting the DeMolay program in the New Castle area. Denny was honored with the Degree of Chevalier in a ceremony led by "Dad" Rodney Boyce with help from many Chevaliers from around the state. Congratulations to Denny and New Castle Builders Chapter for a job well done and an honor well deserved.
