Hey everybody, Fall Session is just around the corner and I’m really excited about seeing everyone there!  This year Fall Session will be two days, filled with lots of fun, food and fellowship.  Do you like playing video games?  Well, this year we’ve got you covered.  We’ll have video game competitions Saturday night.  Make sure to bring your sleeping bags for a long, fun filled evening.  If you like playing football, we’re got an exciting twist that will make sure you have a blast.  Fall Session starts out formal, so make sure to bring your coat and tie and some DeMolay casual to change into.

 

If you have any questions, call me at 256-479-6972. 

See you there!

The conference was July 9-12 in Birmingham at the Scottish Rite Center.

*Newly installed State Master Councilor Alex Hood has an ambitious calendar and plan for his

“Reach for the Stars” term to boost Alabama DeMolay with events designed to challenge

Alabama DeMolay and have fun too.  The first event, a white water rafting and paintball trip to Ocoee, TN

went very well.
