2010 Spring Ritual Competitions

On Saturday, June 5, 2010, Virginia DeMolays met in Luray, Virginia to conduct business, induct new members and compete in a number of ritual contests. It is my pleasure to announce the winners, who will represent Virginia DeMolay at the 2010 Mid-Atlantic Tournament of Champions in Washington, DC in September of this year:

• Chapter Proficiency - Cmdr W L Herndon Chapter
• DeMolay Degree - Westhampton Chapter
• Galloping Gavel - Norfolk Chapter (See Results)

These competitions are never possible without the assistance of a dedicated group of individuals who volunteer their time and expertise to evaluate our competitors. We thank the following advisors for doing so this weekend:

Congratulations to all of our winners!
