Yesterday, Saturday March 6th, Members of Capitol Chapter Order of DeMolay volunteered their time to help run the annual Potentate’s Ball for the Beni Kedem Shrine in Charleston, WV.
Brothers Combs, Thaxton, and Walker were in attendance as well as “Dad” Wilson. The guys were asked to help run the hat/coat check as well as to bus tables after dinner.
After completing their main task they were able to enjoy the festivities, live music, and even some rather interesting discussions with the Shriners.
The name of DeMolay was definitely held high last night as the Potentate called upon the DeMolays and introduced them in front of the entire crowd and thanked them for their excellent work. After which the DeMolays, in particular Brother Walker the Senior Councilor for Capitol Chapter, presented the Potentate with a DeMolay and Shriner Lapel Pin.
Many connections were made and several expressed their interest in the Order as well as getting their family members involved.
With more invitations on the table and several young men wanting to join, it seems Capitol Chapter is finally making progress in leaps and bounds.
Good job guys, keep up the good work, we are very proud of you.
SMC Mitch Combs
