Febraury Order of the Arrow Update


Arrowmen:

 

1)  Please join us tomorrow evening for our monthly Talahi Chapter meeting.  After reviewing the ongoing elections and conducting our Chapter business, we will enjoy a presentation on OA memorabilia by famed and noted historian and Boy Scout and OA scholar, Mr. Ken Majka.  Mr Majka will be displaying and explaining some of his vast BSA & OA memorabilia and paraphernalia.  I'm sure everyone will be informed and entertained!!

 

2)  We still have a few elections remaining to be conducted, and if anyone would like to assist, we can still use help  with these unit elections.  If any adult or youth member is interested in participating, please let the Chapter Chief know so he can schedule some elections for you.   "Many hands make light work."  Remember: we're the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service.  There are only a few elections remaining, and they only take about 30 minutes or less to complete.

 

3)  We will also discuss new OA Awards which can be earned by the troop, the Scoutmaster, the Troop OA Rep, and the Troop OA Rep Adviser - the Order of the Arrow Unit of Excellence Award.  Handouts will be available.

 

4)  All kinds of fun and exciting OA opportunities coming up - Spring Fellowship, Section Conclave, District Camporee and OA Callouts, and Ordeals.  We'll talk about dates, locations and costs.  Brotherhood Q&A handouts will be available.

 

5)  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.

 

Attendance has been a little low the last several months.  Have we lost your interest?  Tell your Chapter Chief what you want him to provide to make your meetings more interesting and enjoyable.

 

 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, February 19, 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
