UPCOMING EVENTS TO WATCH
Lodge 2008 PoppiFest and Ordeal Weekend (Feb. 29 - Mar. 2, at Camp Augusta)
On the weekend of February 29 through March 2, Arrowmen, along with 4 new Ordeal members and 2 new Vigil awardees, traveled to Camp Augusta to participate in Hungteetsepoppis Poppifest. We arrived on a Friday night and stayed up late, assuring the Ordeal honorees were on their correct track. There were two Saturday service projects for Camp Augusta. The first one was to cut back brush around camp. The major project was to build a chicken coop. Arrowmen used recycled sapling brush, chicken wire and multiple 50 pound bags of cement. Through intense effort and strenuous labor the Arrowmen worked, creating the frames of the chicken coop until late afternoon. Next, Scouts practice for Conclave by played Indian handball and dodgeball until it got dark. After the daytime activities, we all retired to a great dinner provided by Mrs. Carter and her kitchen crew. After dinner, everyone headed down to the Ordeal Cermony, where Kevin R., Michael, D., Dick Carter and Brian Renner were inducted as the lodges newest members. With the Dinner and Ordeal Ceremonies completed, the Poppifest festivities began. Arrowmen played poker, putting green golf and other games to win some great prizes. Sunday morning broke early, and the lodge welcomed in our newest Vigil members, Jacob A. and Chris Lee Sr. After breakfastand a short picture gathering, the Arrowmen then traveled back to their homes. Most of the Arrowmen are excited about the upcoming Conclave. All OA Arrowmen should plan to come to Conclave at Coast Guard Island April 25-27. Be there! It will be epic!
Lodge Fall Banquet, November 11th, 6pm, at Corpus Christi School Auditorium On Sunday, November 11, Hungteetsepoppi Lodge held its annual banquet. Several new members, recently inducted by their Ordeal, joined the familiar faces around the table. After the attendees got their delicious dinner of ribs, chicken, corn muffins, and pie, the main segment of the meeting began. After a promotional video for the camping and service opportunities of Arrowcorp 5, guest speaker Peter Harvey delivered a presentation on the work he has done for NASA. He first showed videos of the complicated process of launching a spacecraft. It was fascinating to see what goes on behind the scenes when preparing a small, highly technical machine for the harsh conditions of the upper atmosphere and outer space. Mr. Harvey followed this with some rather unsettling information. He told the stunned crowd that the earthquake that led to the tragic tsunamis in Asia in 2004 may have been caused by a sudden cosmic energy burst that completely destroyed countless planets, and caused a gravitational disturbance on Earth. With this humbling example he stressed the importance of eating dessert first. Derek D.
Lodge member and distingushed NASA Project Manager Peter Harvey, give a fantastic presentation on the satellite systems that he has been responsible for, and what they have learned from them. © 2008 Hungteetsepoppi Lodge |
