Local Youth Group Gives Back to the Community

On Sunday, May 21, 2023, Castro Valley DeMolay gave back to the community by cleaning up a neighborhood park. 

DeMolay is a Youth Organization for young men ages 12-21, founded in 1922.  Through DeMolay these young men learn the importance of serving others and leadership skills. 

This past term our Jr. Past Master Councilor, Chris W., chose to arrange for a park clean up as our service project.  The Chapter chose Greenridge Park in Castro Valley.  Greenridge Park is a lovely park at the end of Greenridge Road that has a basketball court, horseshoe pits, and a playground.  There is also a nice picnic area.

The picnic area was where the boys focused their efforts as the garbage cans were overflowing.  Next several of them took a hike around the park to gather any other garbage along the pathways.

Afterward the Chapter members, their parents and adult advisors had a hot dog picnic lunch and enjoyed the basketball court.  They felt a real sense of accomplishment making Greenridge Park a more pleasant place for all the community to visit.
