Brothers, Summer is finally here and I hope everyone is enjoying the great outdoors. We are looking for great ways to bring OA to you. We recently had a Nawakwa game night and some great training. We will be doing more events like these in the near future. Also, be on the lookout for some possible service opportunities! Some upcoming events to look forward to are the Fall service weekend on September 18-20th. The SR-7A Conclave held on October 2nd-4th will be here before we know it and I can't wait to see everyone in steampunk . I am really pumped to be able to attend these events and can’t wait to attend them. I also hope to see you guys at one of our next zoom events. So remember to check our Facebook, email, and Instagram for some upcoming events.
Brothers,
I hope everyone is getting settled into summer and all the hot weather summer has in store. I am looking forward to all the new members that have been called out this summer and let’s try to invite them to the Fall Service Weekend. We also need to make a big push for our Brotherhood retention. If we make this push and have 80 members do Brotherhood that will help us reach a thriving lodge. We are also going to ask the chapters now that you start planning your unit election visits as well.
We have been doing great this year and now that Conclave is over it is now time for us Nawakwa lodge to focus on us and our 100 years of service. With us getting to our big day we will be dedicating the new OA Pavilion to the council at Fall Service Weekend. So, get ready by getting your party hats ready to start our celebration into our next hundred years of service.
Yours in service,
Preston Wright
Lodge Chief
Brothers,
It has been a busy Spring! Since our last issue of the Tom-Tom, we’ve had some great events like, CONCLAVE! We hosted over 1,260 people at T. Brady Saunders for Conclave. I would like to thank all the people that helped with as service team at Conclave. I would also like to give a special thanks to Mark Lloyd and Matt Terhune for making sure Conclave went smoothly. For those of you who attended Conclave, you know it was amazing. I want to congratulate everyone for helping to bring the biggest contingent of Arrowmen to Conclave this year. I want to remind everyone that elections are coming around in the upcoming service weekend, so I look to see everyone there. There will be lots of great candidates to choose from, so come out and support your fellow brothers in running for office. We are doing a great job on our current Lodge goals and we need to keep pushing for brotherhood conversions. Mark your calendars and share with your units the upcoming events: the summer service and induction weekend is May 31st to June 2nd (don't for get to register), the fall service and induction weekend is September 13-15. The 2019 Fall Fellowship, Our Centennial, celebrating our 100 years of Nawakwa 3 as a Lodge is November 9-11.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day!
Yours in Service,
Preston Wright
