Tigard Orenomah DeMolay

Last Friday night, Tigard DeMolay had a fun night at Bullwinkle's Family Fun Center in Wilsonville. The kids rode go-karts and bumper boats, played lazer tag and mini-golf, and had a pizza feed.
Last night, Bryan's term as Master Councilor of Tigard DeMolay ended and he installed a new MC to run the chapter for the next six months.
Jennifer was installed as Chapter Sweetheart.

Grand Court

  
On the first Tuesday of this month, Tigard DeMolay voted in five new members.
Last Saturday, we headed down to Salem with a bunch of DeMolay and Job's Daughters for the annual DJR Statewide Installation. Bryan lead the DeMolay in an initiation of 15 new members, while Jennifer was 5th Messenger for the Grand Bethel. After the degrees, the kids joined other Bethels, Chapters, and Assemblies for a dance and talent show.
This weekend we traveled to Canyonville for the Order of the Amaranth's annual session, called Grand Court. Bryan performed the flower talk at Opening, and gave remarks as State Master Councilor of Oregon DeMolay.
He attended the formal banquet on Friday night, and sat with the heads of other Masonic Bodies in the State at the installation on Saturday night. When we weren’t attending formal functions, we enjoyed swimming in the pool and visiting with friends.

Sleepover

The end of February has been busy, mostly filled with DeMolay activities. The Tuesday night after we got back from Disneyland we attended a pizza fundraiser for Tigard DeMolay, and Thursday was Milwaukie Chapter's formal meeting. I also attended a Official Visit of the Grand Master to a Portland Lodge.
Last Saturday we prepared for the DeMolay State Council Dinner & Dance, while the boys trying to get State Offices next term were interviewed by the State Dad and some Past SMC's. Last Tuesday Bryan and I attended the meeting of Mount Hood Chapter in Portland.
This Saturday Bryan and I headed down to North Bend so Bryan could serve as Installing Officer for Tioga Chapter. We returned to a house full of girls, as Susan and Jennifer were hosting a Bethel sleepover.
The girls decided to pull a prank on the GBHQ.
