Benedetti Installed 44th International Master Councilor
DALLAS, TX - The International Order of DeMolay, the premier youth organization for young men between the ages of 12 and 21 years, held its annual meeting June 16-20 in Dallas, Texas. Young men and adult Advisors from all 50 states, Brazil, Italy, Germany and Romania gathered together to plan for the future of their organization and to elect their leaders for the next year. The International Supreme Council is comprised of the advisors and two DeMolays from each state/jurisdiction make up the International Congress. Each body elects its own officers.
Michael Benedetti of Peachtree City Chapter was elected as the International Master Councilor, the presiding officer for DeMolay throughout the world. He will serve in this position until the next International Session in June 2011.
DeMolay utilizes local chapters as a "laboratory" setting for members to learn leadership skills, public speaking, time management and financial management. In addition to these skills DeMolay offers an expansive social and athletic program.
DeMolay chapters also work to become community assets through programs of community service. Each year, thousands of community service projects are undertaken by DeMolay chapters throughout the world.
Over 30,000 young men in the United States actively participate in DeMolay chapters today and well over one million men have benefited from the DeMolay experience since it was founded in 1919. Famous Senior DeMolays include: President Bill Clinton, Walt Disney, Gary Collins, John Wayne, Walter Cronkite, Fran Tarkenton, Astronauts, U.S. Senators, Governors, business leaders and successful community-minded citizens.

Michael Benedetti of Peachtree City Chapter kneels to take his obligation as the 44th International Master Councilor.
