2008 Sequoyah Lodge Winter Banquet
Hey guys,
The 2008 Sequoyah Lodge Winter Banquet went great; thank you to all who came out, even with the snow and ice. Hosted by the Pellissippi Chapter, we had great food and fellowship as we looked back on this past year and forward to the next. We were given a great speech from our new district executive, David Page, or “Supreme Chief of the Fire” as his daughter likes to call him, about the past, present, and future of our organization. The years awards were presented, including the Founders Awardto Mitchell Saulsbury and Anna Booher, and we parted ways both full and happy. If you missed it this year, be sure to get there next year; it is definitely worth it.

Dear Arrowmen,
I would like to see you at the remaining
workdays at Camp Davy Crockett. These
are vital in being ready for Conclave this year.
The whole month of March is crunch
time as far as Conclave goes. We will also be
scheduling clean up workdays as needed after
Conclave. Lunch is provided at all workdays,
and we will work from 9 am - 3 pm. Service is
important in the OA and I hope to see an increasing
number of people at these workdays.
Please put those dates on your calendar and
workout some carpools with other members!
A special service lodge flap is also given to
people who have a certain number of service
hours workdays.
Yours in Service,
J.D. Lawson
Spring Ordeal
Hello Arrowmen,
I would like to urge all of
you to attend the Spring Ordeal
this upcoming year. It is vital that
we have camp ready for Conclave
and we need all of the help we can
get! We need to have people
come down as elangomats and
nimats in order to get new members
active and lead candidates to
make the ordeal a great success.On another note, I would ask you to
attend every workday that you can.
This not only prepares for Spring Ordeal
but for Conclave as well and will
make the ordeal run much smoother.
The date for Spring Ordeal is April 3-5.
Put it on your calendars! I encourage
all arrowmen to attend and hope to see
you there!
Yours in Service,
Cameron Mitchell
