1 The Summer 2014 Flight of the Arrow

2 Wulapeju Lodge 140, Summer 2014 Flight of the Arrow A Letter from Lodge Chief Nick M. Hello, Arrowmen! We've had an exciting summer season so far, with many new Ordeal members both at our Spring Fellowship and each of our summer camps, and a large number of Arrowmen sealing their membership with the Brotherhood rank at the Spring Fellowship and during the regular summer camp season at Canyon Camp. We are projecting at least 35 Brotherhood conversions at Canyon this summer, and a very large amount as well at the Fall Conclave. I also want to thank Nathan, our Lodge Vice Chief of Activities, for a very successful Spring Fellowship. His hard work allowed the event to run very smoothly and I think it went really well for all Arrowmen that attended. Don't forget to sign up for Fall Conclave, and have a good rest of the summer! Thank you, Nick M. Lodge Chief, Wulapeju Lodge 140 About the Flight The Flight of the Arrow is a seasonal newsletter devoted to events and news in Wulapeju Lodge.

Hello to all after a great Spring Fellowship, I look to a even more busy, and more exciting Fall Conclave. Look under Column Fall Concave. Vice Chief Of Administration Sam P. Hello brothers I wanted to start off by thanking all of you who came to Spring Fellowship this past June, I really enjoyed being able to catch up and meet for the first time with arrowmen from across the lodge. I hope your time at Spring Fellowship was as fun and enjoyable as mine was and that you are planning on going to Fall Conclave at the end of this summer and maybe bringing a friend along to so that they can see what Fellowships and Conclaves are like. As I said I look forward to seeing an even larger turnout at this upcoming Fall Conclave and that you are all able to make it. I want thank all of you for making this the best year I have had in the OA yet. I had a great time this year serving as your Lodge Vice Chief of Administration and getting the privilege of working with all of you to make our Lodge better. I had a really great time meeting lots of new people at Fall Conclave, Winter Banquet, and Spring Fellowship. I'd like to end off by once again thanking all of the 3 members of our Lodge for making this the best year I have had yet and I look forward to continuing to serve the Lodge into the year.
