What's Goin' Down?

November turned out to be a fun month and December holds even more promise! First of all, a congratulations needs to be extended to Linden Chapter. The Western Columbus Warriors played hard and long (just not long enough) at State Flag Football and ended up making quite the name for themselves... as only a 4th District Chapter can! Better luck next time, guys. Linden Chapter also had their inspection on November 15, 1999 with the aid of Groveport in regard to preceptors and some DeMolay degree parts. In a token of brotherhood, members of our sister Chapter came to wish us good will during our inspection on the 22nd.

Groveport Chapter, the premiere DeMolay degree team in the 4th Region, was also asked to perform the DeMolay degree at the first annual Cincinnati Regional Initiation on November 20th. The Chapter did an admirable job, but we still have a ways to go before its time to show off again in Cleveland on March 6th. Dad Cogley, our Advisory Council Chairman, was installed on that very same night as Worshipful Master of our sponsoring body, Groveport Lodge #240; Dad Dickensheets, a past Chapter Dad, was also installed as Worshipful Master of his lodge, Southgate #692. Groveport Chapter OES also had their annual installation on November 26th with our very own Dad Parsons going in as Worthy Patron. Speaking of Worthy Patrons, Dad Thompson was installed as Worthy Patron of Level Chapter OES, with Mom Thompson by his side as Worthy Matron. However, their daughter still did not know the capital of Canada without cheating! (Just kidding, Lisann) Wrapping up the installation flurry, the Jobs Daughters of Bethel #71 were installed on the evening of December 10th...for some DeMolays it was more memorable than for others. Beth York is the new Honored Queen, so direct any co-organizational ideas to her. Be sure to congratulate all of these newly installed leaders of their orders next time you see them.

Being the party-animals that Groveport Chapter is known to be, we joined with the girls of Columbus Assembly for a bowling and pizza extravaganza in the middle of the boondocks, but everyone enjoyed themselves...and the pizza.

In future news, the installations of Linden Chapter and Columbus Assembly will be on the afternoon and evening of January 22nd. This could also be the same evening as a spaghetti dinner at Reynoldsburg Lodge, so you will definitely have to clear your calendar that day. It should also be mentioned that our installation will be on the evening of January 29th...don't worry, you'll all be home in time for Superbowl Sunday (the Bengals are going all the way, in case you were wondering!) So look forward to the next term, but let's not forget to finish the one we've already started. We still have a solid six weeks before we say goodbye to Brother Cogley, so let's allow him to go out with a bang!
