So, as the summer comes to an end I am looking forward to the coming year. This past May the lodge leadership team met at Cherokee Scout Reservation and planned for the year to come. They developed some great program ideas for the induction and fellowship weekends. For Fall Fellowship we will have a camp-wide scavenger hunt where you and your friends will get to race other members across camp for glory! At the inductions, we will introduce new soiree options and add more program time to the day. I am looking forward to a productive year!

Inductions are coming up! Registration is open for all three of our induction weekends. Please, encourage any candidates in your units to register right away so they don't miss out. As always we need your help to make our induction weekends happen successfully. Consider serving as an elangomat to lead our new members through the experience, or join a lodge team to support the behind the scenes operation. We look forward to seeing you soon at Woodfield Scout Preservation for this year's first Induction.

The 2018 National Conference was held at Indiana University in Bloomington Indiana. The conference was held from July 30th through August 4th. Our lodge participated in many of the AIA competitions. We participated in the drum, fancy dance, and grass dance competetions. Our drum team, consisting of Harvard B., Dillon D., Robert R., and Kenan B., placed third in the nation. Our two fancy dancers, Jacob W., and Kenan B. placed top 10 overall. We also had five brothers who participated in grass dance, they were Tom T., Cole S., Jackson B., Wilson T., and David W. Lodge 70 really showed out at NOAC 2018!

Mark your calendars for Fall Fellowship on November 9-11 this year. Fall Fellowship is often the first event for many brothers after their ordeal and always a fun time to meet and enjoy time with our new members. This years fellowship will feature a camp-wide scavenger hunt with many fun games at various locations! We also hold our Fall Banquet during Fall Fellowship. So, come out and enjoy a fun weekend in Fellowship.
