The 2009 Winter Park Lodge 239, 17th District Championship Degree Team: Ray Malanga, Al Stearns, Jerell Little, Chris Rauth, Pat Biggs, Jeff Morgan, W. Bill Valentino, Mark Avery, Chris Chag and Justin McDonald. Coached by W. Ed Henderson.

Thank you to all the brothers who participated. When we decided to create a degree team, we knew that we needed to practice the degrees for new brothers. We wanted to make our own rituals better and have some fun doing it competitively. The degree team is not limited to those who enjoy churning through the memory work. Anybody can play a role and quickly learn a great number of details about the rituals. I hope that you will come out and join us. Contact me if you’re interested.

(Also, please remember St. John’s day is coming up. I desperately need help on Friday the 26th to get the dining room set up and Saturday the 27th with breakfast. FOR THOSE WHO HELP…Free grits!!!)

Chris Chag, Junior Warden
