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:

• Mom Diane Jackson

• Dad Mike Morehouse

• Dad Chris Pendleton

The names of these and all past winning competitors are posted on the Virginia DeMolay web site (https//www.vademolay.org/competitions).  Also on this site are rules and schedules for all upcoming competitions.

Congratulations to all of our winners!
