Executive Committee Letters

Dear Brothers,
I would like to say that I have had a wonderful year serving you as Secretary. This year has brought success to our lodge in many ways. We have sent Arrowmen to national events and to Conclave. I have seen many Arrowmen achieve the Brotherhood honor in the year I have served. Our lodge publications have been good, and I am still working on them until the next Secretary takes over. I would personally like to thank some people who have helped me throughout my year in office. Thank you to Mr. Pierre, Mr. Yates, Coleman Quinn, Ms. Flanagan, Mr. Peden, and al the other dedicated adults who have given me advice. Again, I would like to thank everyone who got me here to serve you. I would like to continue to serve you in the 2003-2004 term as an officer. Remember, continue the brotherhood, cheerfulness and service!

Yours in WWW,

Brady B. McLaughlin
Lodge Secretary

Ceremonies Chairman

Dear Brothers,
Ceremonies went awesome this year! I can not say better things. We trained new Arrowmen that will return next year and take the places of hard parts played by "older teenagers". This year at Conclave we won best Brotherhood team. Three of the four characters in the Brotherhood team won best character. I am very proud of our ceremonies teams and will you should be as well. I hope to see you all there Saturday night at the ceremony grounds for the last performance this year's team will put on. If there is anyone that would like to be a part of the ceremony team, please let me know at Pow-Wow or give me a call at 251-928-3424.

When you see some of these guys make sure to say thanks and good job, because they deserve it. The ceremony teams are: Brad Grandquest, Ty Jorday, Anthony Mullek, Scotty Keenan, Zach Brandon, Stephen Zellner, Martin Morris. Special appearance: Cliff White, Steve Pierre and David Mullek.
