2008 Lodge Leadership Development Program
Updated 01 Jul : 00:00 by Matt Tucker
The Lodge Leadership Development Program (LLDP) will be held at the First Baptist Church of Orlando on Saturday, August 23rd. The theme for the event is “Inspired to Lead, Dedicated to Serve”. This premier training opportunity is designed for all chapter officers and committee chairmen to heighten their understanding of their new position and for more experienced members to share their knowledge. The LLDP will allow for classroom sessions and group discussions to empower the respective chapter committees to operate on a higher level. Come prepared to learn and share experiences with chapter leaders from across the lodge.

The Tipisa Lodge Banquet will be held directly following the LLDP. Share in the success of the Lodge as we celebrate the accomplishments of the 2007/2008 program year. The registration fee for the LLDP is $5 and includes breakfast, lunch, and training materials. The fee of the Lodge Banquet is $20. Pre-registration is due at council by August 15. Late registration for the Lodge Banquet is $25.

ArrowCorps5 Update: Washington-Jefferson National Forests
Updated 25 Jun : 13:35 by Matt Tucker
Tipisa is making news yet again!

The 21-strong contingent to the Washington and Jefferson National Forests in Virginia for ArrowCorps5 have been hard at work building and repairing trails throughout the area, and local news station ABC 13 was able to get a few minutes with our very own Chris Rafferty while working.

We'd also like to thank the 1st Methodist Church in Lexington, SC for hosting the contingent before and after their week of cheerful service.

Update: Check out the Week in Review video courtesy of Terrel Miller!

New Lodge Chief Letter
Updated 14 Jun : 17:05 by Ben Laube
My Fellow Brothers,

I
want to thank you again for giving me the honor and opportunity to serve as your Lodge Chief for the upcoming year.  In meeting with our other Lodge Officers, we already have many goals and ideas for the upcoming weekends, as well as several other aspects of the lodge program.

While we work diligently to plan for the next year, be sure to attend your chapter elections, if they haven't already happened, and ask your chapter chief where you can help within the chapter.  Many opportunities exist for you within the chapter, from Chapter Chief to American Indian or Publications chairman, or in some cases, the Chapter Grub Master!  Even if the committee you wanted to work with already has a chairman, he is still going to need your help, so let him know that you want to help.

Since the summer is a time of fun and fellowship, be sure to come to Camp La-No-Che some time this summer, where we will be hosting cracker barrels at 8 P.M. each Wednesday night of summer camp at the O.A. Museum.  This is a great time to reconnect with friends from other chapters, and meet many arrowmen from other lodges throughout the country!  And don't forget about the free ice cream!

Also, there are only a few days left to register for ArrowCorps5 this summer.  If you haven't already heard about this once in a lifetime experience, take a moment to look around the
ArrowCorps5 website.  For the advisers, this is the first OA High Adventure program open to arrowmen over the age of 21.  Be sure to contact Chris Rafferty as soon as possible if you are interested, as the spots are filling up fast!

The wait is almost over for the first National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) since 2006!  In early August 2009, arrowmen from across the nation will gather at the University of Indiana in Bloomington for the 2nd largest scouting event in the U.S.  Start saving those pennies now, and be sure to check back for more information as it comes out.

In Wimachtendienk,

Matt Tucker
2008-2009 Lodge Chief
