Lodge Leadership Retreat


Our new Chapter Chief, Michael Mynxx, and Mr. Johnson attended the Lodge Leadership Retreat at Camp Cherokee on Oct. 23rd. So now they are trained and Michael is gonna be a great chief.....and Mrs. Johnson made some really cool garlic bread.

Special Ordeal Ceremony for a Special Guy!


Okay, so Mr. Smyth had this little chain saw accident at his ordeal (for some reason, Camp Wisdom and the Smyth family just can't get it together...they have issues...). So, our wonderful ceremony guys made a special trip to his house and had a beautiful Ordeal Ceremony in his backyard....with the lake in the background.....it was awesome.

May Ordeal


The May ordeal was great, many chapter members came to staff in the kitchen, ceremonies, and service corp. We gained several new ordeal members, and a couple of our dedicated ordeal members sealed thier brotherhood as well. Everyone had a great time and the many people that attended will have had a weekend to remember. The Arrow Bistro, once again, cooked some fabulous meals for the staff, and Judy Johnson created a simply delightful honey bun cake.
Yes, there is a recipe for that cake, check the last post!!!
Anyway, it was a great weekend all around thank you everyone who helped ordeal weekend.
