We started the day with these empty trucks

And some silly adults. Some of them were even Shriners, or advisors, or sweethearts.

But then the food started showing up. (it was just the start of the onions)

by the end of the weekend, many DeMolays would smell like onions.

or pumpkins, or potatoes, or like DeMolays who hadn't showered for a couple of days.

The Band kicks in...  is that Louie Louie?

The shot of the weekend... (that 30 pound box is gonna hurt)

yes, they continued to keep throwing these boxes at each other all night

Don't worry.. he have lots more to load into the trucks still.

Did I mention there were potatoes to be loaded?

The work crew for Day one.

Oh.. after that was over, Tigard loaded their truck with the food drive they did... yea.. right.. the third trailer was Tigard. :)

so we were so quick, that we had to play a game of football.. (i mean ping pong) before the YMCA would let us in)

The SMC tries to make an incredible catch.. it is just a good thing the ball floats.

the shallow end had some distractions too.

ok.. just don't tell them that we did the pool party to help clean them up...

A long term prospect.

The EO is called on to help tie Ties.  The prospect... (on the right) what can i say.. he looked sharp :)

now I would never post pictures of an initiation on the web... so this... definitely isn't during the initiation...(right?)

note... the preceptor in the back looks very interested as well :)

Woo Hoo... We have another member :)

what the EO does while sitting in the east.

What the sweethearts do while they aren't allowed into the closed meetings (Tetris, not Halo)

The Degree Team, for the night.  Latest initiation i have ever been to.

ok... if you are a Mason, don't look at them using the alter to play cards on.

while the EO is playing Halo with the DeMolays

Sunday Morning, the shelves are looking pretty empty

Truck one... mmmm potatoes..

ok.. these were the easy boxes.. only cereal.

Everyone was waiting for truck number two.

it was really full

mmm more potatoes.

did i mention we had some hams too?

doughnut break

mmm... Onions

actually we had so many onions... we had to stack some in the garage

and a whole bunch of pumpkins. ( I hear they give these to the kids to decorate.. not eat)

The un-loaders in the truck really do get a work out this weekend.

remember those empty shelves at the top of this page?

They are empty no more

The day two crew
