Knights of DeMolay
Membership Drive
Today begins the Knights of DeMolay Membership Drive! It is important that we concentrate on growing New Hampshire DeMolay at this time. My challenge to each DeMolay is simple: Replace yourself during this contest! That means each DeMolay brings one of his friends into DeMolay. Dad LaPointe is working with Dad Melvin to host prospects at the Shrine Fez–tivel of Trees! Details will follow.
Hear Ye!

Compete, Conquer,

A Note from the Executive Officer
These past months have seen some great strides for DeMolay in New Hampshire! We have obtained positive membership growth and I expect this to go up even more during the Knights of DeMolay contest.
We held a successful double degree day and Lock-In in October. A very special Thank You to Jewel Lodge in Suncook for being a most gracious host; and to Rainbow for their awesome support.
We cannot rest on these - we must use these as a foundation to build on! We have plans in the works for some great events in the New Year! We need to hear from the DeMolays as to what they want to do in the coming year! DeMolay belongs to the DeMolays!
In closing, I want to wish you and yours a happy thanksgiving. May we be grateful for what we have, and let us not forget those less fortunate.
Yours in DeMolay,
Dad George L. Baldwin
Executive Officer
New Hampshire DeMolay
