Mt. Zion Masonic Lodge #10 has generously agreed to sponsor a new DeMolay Chapter in Independence County. Phoenix DeMolay Chapter is currently seeking applications for members and advisors in and around Batesville, Arkansas. DeMolay International is a service and leadership organization for young men ages 12-20. DeMolay is a youth led organization that teaches business and boardroom skills along with life-skills, responsibility, and cooperation by working together to plan and carry out a customized program of community service activities, public speaking engagements, sports, and social activities. Adult volunteers act as role models and advisors for the young men. DeMolay offers scholarship opportunities, community service hours, and supports public schools and the mission to make education accessible to all children.
DeMolay bases its teachings on seven cardinal virtues: love for your parents and family, reverence for sacred things, courtesy, comradeship, fidelity, cleanness, and patriotism. By joining DeMolay, young men are provided with a safe and worthwhile program that teaches them how to become successful leaders and DeMolay provides them with the tools necessary to best serve their country and community.
Since 1919 DeMolay International has encouraged more than four million young men to become leaders of character, including many successful businessmen, public servants, entertainers, and athletes. President William J. Clinton, John Wayne, and Walt Disney are just a few of our honored alumni. For more information on DeMolay International, please visit www.beademolay.org or www.beademolayar.org.
