May Ordeal Revisited

Hey, Canupa!! I know that everyone is going in all directions this summer!! Our Brothers from Troop 339 and Troop 342 are at Philmont right now. Some Brothers from Troop 390 are at Camp Cherokee, while others from that same troop are getting ready for the Bahama Adventure at Sea Base. Alex Dixon and Chris Callahan are staffing at Camp Cherokee this summer. And, we ALL hope to get together for our Canupa Chapter Ordeal in July (more info to come). Here's Mr. J making his heavenly hash browns!!! My next posts will be of our May Ordeal....

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.
