Brethren, Start Your Engines!

On June 3, 2006, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania hosted its third Mini Grand Prix event. 11 teams participated in the competition, including the famous PA DeMolay Number 9 car! The number, of course, honors Lodge 9 of Philadelphia for their generous sponsorship of our registration fee and necessary body work and repairs. Without these generous Masons, we'd be pushing the car around the track!

Members of the PA DeMolay State Officer Corps sped onto the track, headed by driver Stephen Logan and Christopher Setnar (both of the local Elizabethtown Chapter) and including a crack pit team and support staff for an amazing placement of 4th place against some very stiff competition. Of course, we had some great support from honorary team member "Dad" Ron Aungst, Right Worshipful Grand Master, and from our brand new Jacques DeMolay mascot. Our own "Dad" Samuel C. Williamson drove our parade lap.

Team PA DeMolay provided some excitement during the event, with a little rolling, but driver Chris Setnar hauled his car right back on the track and got back to green flag racing.

Despite all of the competition, DeMolay, Freemasonry, and friends of the fraternity came together for the race's overall theme - charity. All proceeds of the event were to benefit the programs of the Masonic Children's Home at Elizabethtown. We thank all those who competed for their sportsmanship and support.

We hope to see you at the next Grand Prix, but until then keep the throttle open on your charity events!
