“SMC Bugle” – August Edition
Greetings Oklahoma DeMolay!
This is a news series that we are starting known as the “SMC Bugle” (a play off of the Daily Bugle in the Marvel Universe!) Be sure to check it out at the beginning of each month right here on our website.
These past few weeks have been a blast! My officers and I have been putting in hard work since Day 1. All, but 3 chapters have been visited so far, and those 3 will be visited soon! The very first ODA Live Stream was a success, and has shown great potential. During the stream we revealed the new logo, and the theme… Marvel! All four officers attended the Great Plains DeMolay Leadership Conference both in the learning tracks and serving on staff. Three of them attended Arkansas DeMolay’s Conclave as well.
Moving forward, the Main Event Tri-Youth Lock-In is going to be the first big state event of the year. I’m hoping to see as many members and future members there as possible, not only from DeMolay but also our sister organizations. There will be bowling, laser tag, a ropes course, billiards, games, and delicious food! It’s a great opportunity to show the capabilities of how fun DeMolay really is. After the lock-in, be sure to bring those future members to the first state induction of the term on September 16th. My officers and I are looking forward to the rest of the term, and helping to create “Marvelous” heroes in our own chapters!
Fraternally,
Matt Gerow
State Master Councilor
ODA Field Representative
