Our Lodge has a service project at Bethany Church (where we meet) on May 18th at 9:00am.  Basically we will be doing lawn maintenance (cleanup, mulch, etc) and possibly some outside painting.  So we should encourage people to bring shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows.  More details to follow - so MARK your calendars!

Bethany Lutheran Church is located at 8 S Lincoln, Batavia, IL  60510

Greetings Arrowmen!

Open Adult Advisor Position: Assistant Associate Administration Advisor to help maintian lodge records, complete event registrations, work on lodge mailings, etc.  Basic computer knowledge necessary to work on Lodgemaster.  Contact Roger Johnson Lodge Advisor (630-364-0145) if interested helping with this position.

During the weekend Lowaneu Allanque hosted the Section C-7 Conclave.  It became a very eventful gathering for Marshal Savitski who received the R D Dunkin Award for Service to the Section.  However, Sunday Morning he received a second honor by being voted the New C7 Section Chief for the 2013-14 year.  Congratulations to Marshal for receiving both great honors.

With the honor of Section Chief, Marshal will need to step down as Lodge Chief.  As protocol dictates, Nathaniel Baum (Vice Chief of Committees) will assume the role of Lodge Chief for the remainder of the current term.  We will then need to elect a new Vice Chief of Committees at the May E-Board meeting on Thursday May 16th.  We encourage all prospective candidates for the position to contact Mr. Johnson by May 5th of your intent to run.  Just as important we need as many youth members as possible to attend this meeting, to vote for the person you believe will best serve the lodge during these next several months. Again Congratulations to Marshal!
