2012 Lodge Calendar Changes PDF Print E-mail

LatimerLogoThe 2012 Lodge Officers have decided to make two important changes to our calendar of events for next year.  For the first time ever, the lodge will host a main lodge event at the Latimer High Adventure Reservation.  In fact, we will have TWO events at Latimer in 2012. 

Order of the Arrow University, our annual training event for lodge and chapter officers, committee chairmen, ceremony team members, advisers, and other Arrowmen who want to learn how they can make their lodge and chapter better, will take place at Latimer on March 9-11, 2012. 

Fall Fellowship, the lodge's weekend-long event of activities, fun, and excitement will move to Latimer in 2012.  This move requires a date change to September 14-16, 2012. 

Your 2012 Lodge Officers are excited about taking advantage of the amazing resources available to us at Latimer High Adventure Reservation. Please be sure to update your unit and district calendars with these changes.
