The Lodge was well represented at the National Order of the Arrow Conference held at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, last week. This was approximately my tenth NOAC, give or take a few, so I started with a Jaded view of the event, after all having to wear a Tennessee Orange Backpack, but I was really impressed with the enthusiasm of our youth attendees. I saw several with tears in their eyes after the second show, and most were truly moved.
Now that we are removed from the glitz and glamour of NOAC, all that attended have an obligation to take what they learned and experienced back to the lodge and chapter. That is my challenge to those that attended NOAC.
This year we are still going strong, and need to ramp up our preparations for the three upcoming Ordeals and Fall Fellowship.
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND ANY AND ALL OF THESE EVENTS.
