Let's Shave Jacob For Relay for life!
(05.01.2020) Hope is not cancelled even though the Relay For Life of Speedway has been postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis. Speedway PMC-MSA Jacob has volunteered to have his head shaved if we raise $5K in the month of May. As of May 1 we are at $,2,200 toward our goal of $10,000 and if we hit at least $7,200 by the end of the month then Jacob has a meeting with the clippers! So please consider supporting our efforts to fight cancer and support the American Cancer Society. #GreatestCureOnEarth #RealySpeedway #CancerSucks

Star Trek: DeMolay

Game Night
(05.15.2020) For game night Friday we tried a new platform and played some games on The “Houseparty” app. We had different players through out the night including Speedway PMC-MSA and Indiana DeMolay PSMC Sunny Atwal joining us from his New York City quarantine and Speedway Masonic Lodge No 500 F & AM PM Chris Schneider.

Tonight’s video is Dad Tim showing the DeMolays how to make Apple Roses which will be the dessert for the meal. We are asking our DeMolays to make short videos or take pics to share from May 1 through June 12 where Parents Day is traditionally observed on the DeMolay calendar.

Thoughts On COVID-19 From Papa Pat

Making Dinner For Our Parents Part Two: Tim’s Szechuan Green Beans
(04.24.2020) Speedway Masonic Lodge No 500 F & AM Junior Warden Tim Poe taught our guys how to make a meal to serve during our Parents Day Observance next month. The idea is not to replace the “Mothers Day Meal,” rather a different meal that a parent does not have to make!
Tonight’s video is Dad Tim showing the DeMolays how to make “Tim’s Szechuan Green Beans” which will be the main course for the meal to go with the “Apple Rose Dessert” from the first “Speedway DeMolay Quarantine Kitchen.” We are asking our DeMolays to make short videos or take pics of their efforts to share from May 1 through June 12 where Parents Day is traditionally observed on the DeMolay calendar.
