TRY to Attend 11th DeMolay Congress: Davao City 27-30 May 2010

The 11th DeMolay National Conclave, Congress and Olympics will be hosted by Feliciano Iñigo Chapter, Davao City, this May 27 - 30, 2010.

As always, the members of T R Yangco Chapter are preparing to attend and compete in this annual congress and conclave, as emailed by PMC, Bro Ronald Patrick Reyes and Dad & Bro Bhoy Nabor.

According to last year's MC, Bro Patrick, the brethren are raising funds: "In regards with [their] fundraising campaign they are selling printed and embroidered t-shirts, a plate with embossed text "A DeMOLAY LIVES HERE" and a DeMolay emblem plus space for the address is available." This, plus another Php14,000.00 at the now defunct Accord Bank [and which they are working to get the fund from PDIC].

The active DeMolays are again seeking your [Senior DeMolays & Dad Masons] support so they can  sent delegates to this year's Congress.

According to former Master Councilor, Bro Patrick Reyes, last year TRY is the only DeMolay Chapter with a complete ritual team, hence the Opening & Closing Competition was cancelled due to lack of competitors.

In the Degree Ritual Competition, TRY was the only complete team with all members belonging to TRY. Completing the top three Chapters were Mabini and Kalikasan Chapters. Our Junior Inquisitor [JI] won the best JIs of all.

In the Olympics section, our Bro Remuel took the silver in the chess competition, while our basketball team took the championship and silver at swimming. With not enough time, other sports competitions were also cancelled. Best overall Chapter went to T R Yangco!

According to Dad & Bro Bhoy Nabor:

"No one among the TRY members manage to attend the conclave in Davao dahil nga napakabigat transportation cost pa lang almost 6k each na plus 3k registration fee, plus transportation costs going to Manila, kaya almost the budget needed is 10k each delegate. Anyways we will be more prepared sa next conclave wala pa daw venue for now but I wish na malapit na dito sa Gapo."
