The month of May has been proclaimed as "DeMolay Month" in Columbia in recognition of the local DeMolay Chapter.
The local youth group does several community projects through the year. Next weekend they will be placing flags on veterans’ graves in cemeteries throughout Columbia and Adair County. They also assisted with the recent Duck Derby, are participating with the Memorial Day dedication of the banners on the square, the food pantry, and did duffel bags with essentials for children in foster care.
“We appreciate the DeMolay Group and their commitment to our community,” said Mayor Pamela Hoots.
