Members from Freedom, Elizabethtown and Pilgrim Chapters helped the out at the Zembo Children's Day at the Zembo Shrine in Harrisburg. Members assisted in running the CHIP (Child Identification Program) event held during the day.

There were about 70 children and their families were provided with identification materials. Members from Freedom and Elizabethtown came out to fill the morning shift, and Pilgrim handled the afternoon shift.

Not only was this a good event for the
community but it gave all of us the opportunity to talk to many about the
fraternity, and our DeMolay organization. Participants talked with many parents, local business people, and area Masons who were not yet familiar with DeMolay, and were very happy that we were there. Of course, there were also a few prospective members --this was a great opportunity to spread the word.

A special thanks to the members from Freedom and Elizabethtown Chapters who traveled so far, so early in the morning. This is truly dedication to the program. If you've ever had to get teenage boys out to an early morning event, you know what an accomplishment this was.

Coming in May, Pilgrim Chapter is scheduled to assist at three more CHIP events. Congratulations to all on your committment to this worthwhile program!
