NEWSetteAugust 2000From the State Parents' Club Coordinator:
I hope that if you experienced Conclave recently, you had a good time and made a new friend of someone who was a stranger before the weekend. To the newly Past State Master Councilor, Adam Roof, you had a great year! Congratulations to the Clayton Parents' Club for winning the "Parents' Club of the Year" and Mountain Park for being the runner-up. Next year, I hope that all Parents' Clubs will submit a report. If nothing else, it lets you see where you are and what you have contributed to your local Chapter and Georgia DeMolay during the year. In addition, congratulations go to Clayton for first place in the Scrapbook competition and Mountain Park for second place. Each Parents' Club who took the time to record the events of their Chapter for the past year are winners! Start now gathering those pictures, programs and other items to be used in next year's scrapbook. Join me in congratulating the new State Officers and when you see them let them know that the State Parents' Club is here to help in any way we can. The elected officers are Derrick Honea as State Master Councilor, Justin Nobles as State Senior Councilor and Mike Riley as State Junior Councilor. The new State Scribe is Gary Vinson, a Past State Master Councilor. I know your parents are happy with your new roles in Georgia DeMolay. May you have a great year! Also,congratulations to Mike Riley for being named the "DeMolay of the Year". I would like to congratulate the recipients of the Jenny Lind Pettys Scholarships, Jeremy Bush from Mountain Park Chapter, Rhett Coleman from Cecil Cheves Chapter, Derrick Honea from Clayton Chapter, Eric Kling from Middle Georgia Chapter and Wesley Foster from Mountain Park Chapter. Congratulations, to these young men who have chosen to further their education. Our scholarship will help them in their efforts. I would like to thank Mom Rhonda Povlot for her work with the scholarship program. Thanks to all of you who helped out at Conclave from working in the Hospitality Room and the "Trunk Store" to helping decorate Saturday morning and afternoon. We work very well as a team and I am grateful to be a part of such a wonderful group of parents. I am working on getting information to those who have expressed the need and should have it to you within a couple of weeks. Keep plugging away for Georgia DeMolay. If I can be of assistance to any of you, don't hesitate to call. See you soon! In DeMolay Love, Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world. Lucille Ball From the Editor:
I hope everyone survived Conclave. Congratulations to Adam on a wonderful year and good luck to Derrick. Since we've begun a new DeMolay year we are starting fresh, not necessarily by choice however. My hard drive crashed and I've lost everything. I'm trying to recreate as many addresses as I can. So if you know of someone who needs to be on the list PLEASE send it to me. Also on a personal note, I've lost all the quotes, poems, recipes, stories, etc. So if you could send me whatever you have so I could start replenishing I would greatly appreciate it. I'm hoping all of you will start sending me things for the Newsette. Since I've lost everything I have no reserve to pull from. So once again I must beg..PLEASE send me stuff. Below is all my information. Right now I do not have a fax machine but I can be reach by email, phone and regular mail. I look forward to another great year in Georgia DeMolay, and I hope everyone else is too. Mom Kim May The first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to acquire building materials for his home. She said "...And so the pig went up to the man with a wheelbarrow full of straw and said 'Pardon me sir, but might I have some of that straw to build my house with?'" Then the teacher asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" and one of the boys raised his hand and said I know! I know!, he said.....'Holy smokes! A talking pig!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes. From the State Sweetheart:
I hope you are all having a lovely day! I wanted to let you all know about my upcoming service project - it is called Trick or Treat for Canned Goods. This is where the young men put out fliers in one large neighborhood to announce the food drive and what it is for. Then on Halloween they go trick or treating for canned goods. Whatever amount is gathered will be donated to MUST Ministries or to your local food closet. I have seen the results of this type project and it is HUGE!! The guys will not only have a great time, but they will also be spreading the word of DeMolay into their community. This project is great for bonding and for truly helping those in need. So please support your chapter and give them ideas as to which neighborhood is a good choice and what food closet could really benefit from this. Or your chapter could make food baskets and this drive can supply the canned food. I would like to take this time right now to say congratulations to Lindsey Honea on completing her 5th LCC and getting her Lamp Of Knowledge! It takes a special person to go above and beyond like she did, and we should all be very proud of her. I would also like to congratulate everyone who received an award or a scholarship - you deserve it! I want to tell you all that I look forward to an awesome year, and I know we will have a blast! I plan on having a very productive and fun term with Derrick. I do ask one thing- could you guys please let me know when your chapter is having an event so I can do my best to make it? I would love to be at as many functions as possible. After all, nothing is better than an active sweetheart! Thank you again, and have a wonderful day! Jodie Bennett Clayton Chapter:
I hope you all made it home safely from our Conclave 2000. It was so nice seeing everybody again, and I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. I would first like to congratulate Adam on a very successful year. I think after this Conclave we are all ready to pick up and go full speed. To Derrick, I know you are going to do a wonderful job this year, and I'm looking forward to all that you have planned. I wish you the best of luck, and I want you to know there isn't anyone more proud of you than me. I know you are going to do great! Also, I would like to congratulate Jonathan Canada, who is another one of Clayton Chapter's state officers. Congrats to Clayton Chapter for bringing home the Chapter of the Year award!! I'm really proud of you guys! And hats off to our moms! Clayton Chapter's Parents Club brought home Parents Club of the Year. Moms, we appreciate all that you do for us! Well, I hope everyone is ready for this upcoming year. It is going to be filled with fun, brotherhood, and helping everyone to See the Light of Georgia DeMolay! I hope to see everyone at the State Master Councilor's Reception. All should come prepared for a great time, and a non stop of dancing. Until then, I hope you remember to smile, and keep Demolay in your hearts:) Lindsey Honea Mountain Park Chapter:
What a Conclave! Congratulations to Clayton Chapter for the many awards they received. Also Congratulations to Mike Rielly for being DeMolay of the Year! Jeremy and Adam, we are very proud of you for giving us a great year! Wesley and Adam how proud you made us Friday night with your Chevalier Honors and our own Dad Bush for the Legion of Honor!
