May updates No images? Click here Hello Brothers, I would like to congratulate and welcome our 19 newest members who joined the Order of the Arrow this past weekend. I would also like to commend everyone in attendance for being truly unselfish in service and devotion to the welfare of others. Thank you to everyone that made it to Section Conclave and to those that helped in AIA. Achieving first place took many hours of practice, hard work, and dedication to our performance. This year we were able to obtain first place in both ceremonies and dancing. We would not have been able to accomplish this achievement without the wonderful leadership of Jeff Triplett, Maggie Hanflink, and Josh Hanflink. They were able to coordinate over a dozen dancers and have a solid ceremonial team put in place. As a lodge, we hope to continue this momentum into 2022 and keep on the path to another successful year. WWW, Anthony Mills The 2021 Cardinal Conclave was held at Camp Bowers in White Oak, NC during the weekend of April 16-18.
