In the early days of DeMolay communication was easy! The original nine all lived within a few blocks of one another and could easily talk to one another or pass word through word of mouth. As Mother Chapter grew this became more difficult so new ways of communicating were needed. The development of the Cordon, use of mail, and even telegraph.
In 1925, "Dad" Land and DeMolay used a new fangled invention called "radio" to broadcast a messae on the 6th Anniversairy of the founding of DeMolay. You can read a blog about that from "Dad" Tom Labagh of PA DeMolay: https://demolay.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Centennial-Celebration-Moments-15-final.pdf .
Our communications approach has evolved with the time! I am told that back in the 1970s, State Officers used Citizen Band (CB) Radios to stay in touch with one another. In the 1990s we used dial up internet to send emails. Now, we use emotiocons and text messages and snapchats.Regardless of the method, communication has been key. In the coming days, weeks and months stay tuned to this website as we add content and share important information with you!
