May Order of the Arrow Update


Arrowmen:

 

1)  We've concluded two Order of the Arrow callouts, and 43 candidates have been called out.  Please encourage them to attend an Ordeal weekend.

 

2)  Speaking of Ordeal weekends, last weekend was our first Ordeal at SR2, and we inducted 9 new Ordeal members and 2 Arrowmen did their Brotherhood:

 

Ordeal

Brock Bergstrand

Jakob Britton

Christopher Caroe

James Forrest

Trey Hudspeth

James Meredith

Kermit Seaman

Nicholas Shepherd

Christian Smith

 

Brotherhood

Chase Cochran

George McKee

 

3)  The next important dates to remember are May 17-19, 2013: the CT Ordeal.  Again, please remind candidates that they need to attend an Ordeal weekend to complete their journey into the OA, and current Ordeal members are encouraged to seal their OA membership by doing their Brotherhood.

 

4)  Time to pay your 2013 dues!  Still a bargain at only $10!  Be the first on your block with a brand-new OA membership card!!   If Scoutmasters want to send a list of OA members and a check, we can get all your cards to you at one time.  Remember to support the Lodge.  The dues we collect are invested back into funding camp improvements to make your camping experiences more enjoyable.  Member Retention is also part of our effort to reach our 2013 OA Chapter Journey to Excellence goal.

 

 As always, the Talahi Chapter meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m., at the Elks Lodge, located at 601 W. Pioneer Pkwy, Arlington, TX 76010.   We will next meet at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 The chapter officers and I would like to invite all Arrowmen to attend our meeting.  If you're a regular attendee, it will be great to see you again.  If you haven't been to a meeting in a while, please come and reconnect with the Order of the Arrow - we've missed you!

 

Yours in Brotherhood,


Gary Faletti

Talahi Chapter Adviser
