Lodge Chief: Jacob Jansen

Hello Brothers,

What a wonderful fisrt half of this year. During this year so far the lodge has done many great things. We have had one of the strongest brotherhood conversion rates in recent times, as well as having great showings at the lodge events despite the bad weather and bad timing. This year the ceremonies and AIA intrests have exploded and teams are starting to pop up from all aroung the Lodge. There has been some bittersweet news this year as well. The lodge has really came together to make a strong attempt at attaining quality lodge and shown through in all areas except posivie growth. Only 40 members seperated us this year between where we are and quality lodge, I will ask you to please talk to the members of your troop and have them pay their dues. I hope you all had a great year and I am excited for section conference and all of the new brothers we will be welcoming into the lodge in March.

In Brotherhood

"The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves." Eric Hoffer
