To my friends of Colorado DeMolay,

Over the past few years, my bond to DeMolay has been ever growing, leading to many lasting memories.

Whether it was a state-wide event where I got to meet my brothers from all over, or a simple game night

held and a chapter’s lodge, I have had an amazing time bonding and strengthening my connections with

this amazing organization. There isn't another group or club comparable to the impact DeMolay has had

on me, and for that, my appreciation shows no bounds.

Who I am today because of this fraternity is someone I always wanted to be. Being a leader, an upstand-

ing citizen, a role model, all these things that DeMolay has helped me to be, is a gift I can only begin to

repay by continuing to serve Colorado through the state line as your State Senior Councilor. My connec-

tion grows unwavering and ever strong every time I can use this position to build the foundation of Colo-

rado for its members. I am eternally grateful for everything I have been so lucky to experience.

Moving forward, I want to be someone who fosters change and progress in everyone's journey through

DeMolay. I want to be the person people look up to and hope to reach out to when they need something.

I want to be like the DeMolays who mentored me when I needed it, and I want to be the change in this

order. Thank you, DeMolay!

Fraternally,

Jackson Goodwin
