Texas Hill Country DeMolay Honors Air Force Trainees with Thanksgiving Dinner

Boerne, November 26, 2009:   Texas Hill Country Chapter, DeMolay International, on a very special Thanksgiving Day, hosted four basic trainees from Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas for Thanksgiving Dinner at the Kendall Masonic Lodge. Local youth designed, planned, and executed the event to honor those who serve our country – with plans on it being an annual event.

With the assistance of Kendall Masonic Lodge, Boerne 200 – Order of Eastern Star, the Boerne Shrine Club, and parents of the members of Texas Hill Country Chapter, the members of the chapter put on an excellent event that included six turkeys, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, dressing, and a whole slew of pies and desserts. The trainees also had video games on the projector and computers to check e-mail and Facebook. Outside in the beautiful weather, the trainees learned how to master the “Washer Pit” and, later, the trainees were each given a cell phone to call their families back at home.
