Winterfest is almost upon us. On the 25th to the 27th of January, our weekend full of fun and fellowship will arrive. This is a great chance to meet fellow Brothers. This is also when you will get to see some of the best food from the Commissary Committee that you can imagine that is as always in accordance with the theme of the weekend. The Enda Casino will be open for business, so don't forget to bring your Enda bucks or find an opportunity to earn some as the weekend draws near. For those Brothers that would also like to still give service, there will be the opportunity upon request. I look forward to seeing our Lodge’s great turn out. Download Winterfest Registration.
With March 15th on the approach, this means that Family Banquet is almost here. This is where our Lodge is presented with all of the awards of the past year and also its members are honored for their service and dedication. Special awards are awarded, such as 57 Hours Award, Team Enda, Quality Chapter award, Founder’s Award, Silver Acorn, and this years Vigil Class. There will be members from all over giving us all a great opportunity to meet them. You may even get to meet the new officers that will be installed from the January election. So come out one and all, bring your families, show everyone what our Lodge has accomplished and what we strive to do in 2008. Download Family Banquet Registration.

With 2008 being the Lodge’s 15th anniversary, this is our year to do great things. Remember to stay an active, honored Brother. The best way to get involved is to join a committee, get involved in your chapter, or assist your troop out. Find an outlet that you are interested in to help the Scouting movement and the ideals of camping. If you need suggestions or would like to find out exactly what you can do, let me know. The Lodge can find a position or job that suits to your skills.

As a reminder for all of those that have not heard. This year we have a special deal to encourage payment of your annual dues on time. All Brothers that pay their dues by the deadline, March 31 2008, will receive a special limited edition 15th anniversary patch. The only way to get this patch is to pay your annual dues on time. This patch will be part of a set. I hope that you will take this opportunity to become and Active, Honored Brother.
