At the Annual Communication of the Grand Holy Royal Arch Chapter of Pennsylvania, representatives of the three Masonic Youth Groups were invited to speak at the Grand Banquet. Bro. Jeffrey Bortz, Deputy State Master Councilor, represented PA DeMolay, since the banquet was held on a school night-- Thursday, December 6, 2007.

Jeff did a fantastic job of showing what DeMolay can produce-- young leaders who are poised under pressure, confident in their Order and relaxed in any circumstance. He talked about the growth of PA DeMolay and managed to get the audience laughing and applauding spontaneously during his 5-minute presentation. Congratulations, Bro. Jeff, and thanks for representing us so well!

At the close of the banquet the Masonic leadership stood for a photo with the Masonic Youth Leaders--- not a bad looking group! It is great that the youth groups are all getting along so well! Call it synergy, or cooperation, or friendship-- whatever it is-- it sure is great to see all these smiles!
