Lodge Holds Leadership Development Conference

The LEC attended an Lodge Leadership Development Conference (LLDC) held Saturday November 4, 2006.  Many past and present section officers from around the section assisted in presenting the training.  Topics included Quality Lodge, a Team Building Exercise, Goal Setting, The Lodge’s Role in Community Service, and other timely topics.  The event was a success and the participants left with tools they could use to perform their jobs more effectively.

Woa Cholena Completes One Day of Service

 On October 21, 2006, Woa Cholena Lodge 322 held our annual One Day of Service. It was held at the Upper Delta Wildlife Management Area in Stockton, Al. We painted eight 16 inch steel pipes at the new shooting range, and we also picked up trash in the vicinity of the shooting range, in the camp sites and along the roads in the Wildlife management Area.

Nineteen people participated in this event.
