DeMolay International Sessions 2011 Wrap Up

As many of you know, DeMolay International held its Annual Session this past weekend in Grand Rapids, MI. From all accounts the event was huge success. PA DeMolay was well represented and the young men from our jurisdiction learned a lot about DeMolay on a National level.

This is also the time of year when many awards are given out, new officers are installed, and the the agenda is set for another term. So, I thought it would be valuable for everyone to know who won awards and who our leaders will be for the next year.
