All others in attendance, including Sweethearts, will be asked to remain outside the Chapter Room until the chapter recesses for any public portion of the ceremonies.

Just to add a little more excitement, we will give full credit for any new members brought in since February 1^st. 2012.

Spread the word of DeMolay throughout your Kingdom!

Remember, the future of your Chapter is created in the present!

Around 200 people were in attendance, and representatives from several Masonic Orders congratulated the State Master Councilor and presented him with gifts.   Executive Officer Jim Lamb gave a presentation on the Kingdom of DeMolay online experience that will be launched later this year, and Mike Bishop, Past SMC and Past International Congress Secretary of DeMolay spoke of the vision of the DeMolay foundation.

Following the reception, the DeMolay, Rainbow, and Bethel members enjoyed a dance.

Ideally, a Chapter Representative would be at least 16 years old, a Past Master Councilor, and has completed all five of the Leadership Correspondence Courses.  However, the SMC will consider any candidate the Chapter feels would best represent their Chapter to the State Council.  It is the request of the SMC that during February each Chapter choose a Chapter Representative and to inform the SMC of their choice, so that these Representatives can be announced at the DJR statewide initiation on March 3rd.  Please also indicate whether the Chapter Representative will be attending DJR, and the annual Oregon DeMolay Conclave in April.
