On January 22nd and 23rd, the lodge got together for a weekend of fun.  It started out with a pow-wow and games and ended the presentation of awards and honors to arrowmen and chapters who have made a difference and gave extra service over the last year.  There were also some changes made to the organization of the lodge.

The youth elected a new lodge chief and Lodge Officers.  The new chief is Matt Ferrin.  Matt was previously a lodge vice-chief.  He is from chapter 5 and lives in Mountain Green.  His vice-chiefs are Justin Deakin, Charles Bowker, Michael Young, Tyler Young, and Carter Wright.

Along with new youth officers, the lodge has a new lodge adviser, Ken Jeppesen. Ken previously served as the Section Adviser for section W2S but has served in many other positions in the Order of the Arrow and scouting.

We'd like to send a special thanks to all those who helped make this years Founder's Festival a success!!  We'd also like to thank Charles Bowker and all the the 2009 lodge officers for the great job they did and for the service they provided to the Lodge.  We would also like to thank Dennis Stockberger for his service over the last several years as Lodge Adviser.

Thank you all for coming and supporting the lodge!!
