Mayor Harold Logsdon proclaimed the week of March 16-22 DeMolay Week in Peachtree City. Some of the members and advisors of Peachtree City Chapter, Order of DeMolay, are pictured at the reading of the proclamation at the city council meeting March 6th.

DeMolay, an international organization for young men age 12 (and completed the 7th grade) to 21, utilizes local chapters as a “laboratory” setting for members to learn leadership skills, public speaking, time management and financial management. In addition to these skills DeMolay offers an expansive social and athletic program.

DeMolay chapters also work to become community assets through programs of community service. Each year, thousands of community service projects are undertaken by DeMolay chapters throughout the world.

Over 30,000 young men in the United States actively participate in DeMolay chapters today and well over one million men have benefited from the DeMolay experience since it was founded in 1919. Famous Senior DeMolays include: President Bill Clinton, Walt Disney, Gary Collins, John Wayne, Walter Cronkite, Fran Tarkenton, Astronauts, U.S. Senators, Governors, business leaders and successful community minded citizens.

Young men and their parents who are interested in or curious about DeMolay are encouraged to attend this public ceremony. For more information, visit peachtreecitydemolay.org, or contact Chapter Dad Skip Mason at (770) 487-6482.
