Chiefly Speaking - November 2007

I was excited to see you all at the Fall Work weekend on October 26th to the 28th. Ranger Mike was overjoyed with the work that was done to his camp and thanked our Lodge for providing service to all of the camps of Greater Pittsburgh Council. The service totaled over 750 hours worth of work for the camp. The projects included: Building benches at the campfire circle, Placing vinyl siding on to Rotary Cabin, Filling Gabion baskets, Stacking and splitting firewood, Hanging gutters, Clearing Debris from the stream’s bed, Cleaning up dead trees, digging ditches for drainages, and many more projects for maintaining the camp.
Winterfest is coming in January. This is a weekend full of fun and fellowship to get a chance to meet fellow brothers. This is also when you will get to see some of the best food from the commissary that you can imagine that is always on the common theme of the weekend. The Enda Casino will be open for business and so will the auction that will come to follow. For all of those members that would also like to still give service there will be the opportunity upon request.

News Flash and a reminder that now that the letters of intent were turned in at the November Lodge meeting. The elections are soon to follow. The elections will be at the January meeting on January 6, 2008. This is a youth run organization so I am looking forward to seeing our entire Lodge at Flag Plaza at 2:00 for the Election and to be able to partake and see a Lodge meeting.

As a reminder for all of those that have not heard. Also as an update, this year we have a special deal available for paying your dues this year. For all of those members that pay their dues by the deadline, March 31, 2008, will receive a special limited edition 15th anniversary patch. The only way of getting this patch is through paying your dues in a timely manner. This will be part of a two patch set. I hope that you will take this opportunity and become an active Arrowman.
