BIG Change for Order of the Arrow
The word is out. Randy Gerke, Chapter Advisor, was just notified that a big change is coming.
At the Lodge Executive Committee meeting (LECM) tomorrow, January 5, 2008, at 2:00pm they will discuss the new change. The meeting will be at the Marriott Hotel, downtown Des Moines same location as the OA Winter Banquet.
One of the topics for discussion will be when the new Ordeal does his service project. Instead of doing this during summer camp the candidate will instead have to come back to either Fall Fellowship or Spring Conclave to be completed.
Hope to see as many people at this meeting as possible.
