Albert
Pike DeMolay
Alumni Chapter No. 54
On
July 8, 1927, a bulletin was sent to each Chapter of DeMolay outlining
the formation of an Alumni Chapter and stating, the purpose
of the DeMolay Alumni is to keep intact the friendships occasioned
by former (active) DeMolay membership, to foster, aid and promote
peace and harmony. Each DeMolay Chapter was requested to
start an Alumni Chapter. Any man who formerly held active membership
in the Order and who held a Supreme Council Majority Certificate
was eligible to petition for membership in a local chapter of
Alumni. Albert Pike DeMolay Alumni Chapter No. 54 was issued Letters
of Dispensation on January 31, 1928. A National Conference of
DeMolay Alumni was held March 17, 1928, during the time of the
Eighth Annual Session of the Supreme Council. Albert Pike Alumni
Chapter was granted its Permanent Charter at this conference and
session. Alumni Chapters lasted until April 11, 1936 and served
as an expression of Founder Frank S. Land that those who had been
active members in their youth should continue to be of service
to the challenging dedication of DeMolay. An Alumni Chapter was
presided over by a president. The International Supreme Council
reestablished the International DeMolay Alumni Association at
the 64th Annual Session in 1984. Local Alumni Chapters have been
reauthorized under the distinctive style of local Alumni Associations.
The first new local association was Sarasota Alumni Association
No. 1 in Sarasota, Florida, chartered on February 22, 1986. |
