March 25, 2012-Arlington, TX (Frank Marshall Championship Tournament)
The New Mexico DeMolay Association participated in the Frank Marshall Championship Tournament March 23, 24, and 25 in Arlington Texas. Three Advisors, Steve Reil (Aztec Lodge No. 3), Brian Anderson (Sandia Mountain Lodge No. 72) and Ellis Loree (Mesa Lodge No. 68) together with five members of Metro Chapter (Rio Rancho) and three members of Mesa Chapter (Albuquerque) drove for 11+ hours to the event at the Fort Worth Scottish Rite Center.
It was the first time the New Mexico DeMolay Association had participated in a Ritual Tournament outside of our Jurisdiction. The Tournament (which had 153 competitors from 10 DeMolay Jurisdictions) awarded Jacob Loree (Mesa Chapter) with a first place medal for First Preceptor (Filial Love) and Daniel Moses (Metro Chapter) with a first place medal for Third Preceptor (Courtesy). Jacob was one of only six competitors to score above 1000 points, and Daniel scored 998 points.
Other New Mexico participants were from Metro Chapter: Jorie Cordova (Chaplain); Alejandro Naranjo (Master Inquisitor); Woody Harwell, State Senior Deacon, (Senior Deacon) and Brandon Sullivan (Magnificent 7, all preceptor parts). From Mesa Chapter: Jonathan Remy, State Master Councilor, Master Councilor, Fourth Section; and James Christopher, State Junior Councilor, Ceremony of Light.
The Frank Marshall Championship Tournament also hosts Rainbow Ritual Competitions at the same time and had several Rainbow Jurisdictions represented with 75 young ladies competing.
After the competitions and before the awards ceremonies, the Advisors, DeMolay’s and Rainbows enjoyed Six Flags Over Texas-Arlington, followed by a dance at the hotel.

The New Mexico DeMolay Association Sweetheart Program is now a reality. All of the Do's and Don'ts are listed in the Sweetheart Manual. This first year we won't have a State Sweetheart, but all Chapters are encouraged to select their Chapter Sweethearts, and they will be eligible for State Sweetheart at next year's convention. We want the young ladies selected to experience the Chapter level so that they will be better able to fulfill their duties as State Sweetheart. I am excited about the re-introduction of the Sweetheart Program. I have seen how the program in other Jurisdictions adds to their overall program, and I can't wait to see how our program is enhanced with the addition of Sweethearts to our program. Thanks for all you do for DeMolay in New Mexico!
