New Redwood Empire Council Website
In early August Redwood Empire Council
released a major redesign to the Council
website. The Council will be using this to distribute
the Council & District newsletters, as well as
information on program activities throughout the Council.
As part of theis new website, there is a section devoted to
Orca Lodge. This
area will be used to distribute information about upcoming
Lodge events.
Don't forget to sign up for a MyCouncil
Membership up in the top right hand corner of the
Website. This will help you stay informed about upcoming
events, trainings, camps, and much much more. You can also
sign up for an electronic version of the Lodge Newsletter
(Orca Spouts). Eventually, your MyCouncil Membership is
where you will sign up for Lodge events, and even make
payments for them!
2014 - Orca
Lodge 20th Anniversary
2014 marks 20 years since Orca Lodge was
first chartered. This year we have been involved with many
different service projects. We have helped with Camporees,
several Council Level Fundraiser events, Memorial Day flags,
and many more. Wonk-A-Tonk chapter has been getting trained
as Leave No Trace Trainers, to be available to help units in
the Council with their LNT programs. In addition, we have a
great Conclave in Vallejo coming up, along with preparing
for the 100th anniversary of the OA coming up next year.
Lots of great things are happening. To keep informed,
please follow the Order of the Arrow Facebook feed. Also,
important announcements are sent thru email via Lodgemaster,
and also announced on the Orca Lodge #194 Facebook group.
If you are not getting messages, please contact records@orca194.org
to find out why.
W-3N
Conclave
The Grid. A program frontier. I
tried to picture once powerful lodges as they moved through
the network. How were they trapped there? Complacency? Fear
of the new? Would their repetitive loops ever end? I kept
dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one
day...
Based on the digital world of the science
fiction movie Tron, the Section W3N Council of Chiefs is
proud to bring you Conclave 2014: Out There is Our Future.
Conclave 2014 is about breaking free of the ruts great lodge
programs fall into. Without trying new things, lodges are
bound to stagnate; becoming stale as they stay comfortably
with what is familiar. The grid represents this state: a
dark and dangerous place where old, corrupt programs slowly
waste away into nothingness. This year Conclave will ask
your Lodge to compete like never before, rewarding the use
preparation and creativity as you work for the top spot.
Conclave is a call to action: a challenge for your lodge to
try something new, to innovate, and to break free of the
grid!
This years Conclave is comming up fast.
September 5-7 at the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo.
Orca Lodge is planning on a good showing to prepare us for
when we are the Host Lodge for the 2015 Section W-3N
Conclave.
This years program also has a new addition
of the Cub Scout program. If you are interested in
Conclave, or know a Cub Scout that would benefit from the
excitement of an event with nearly 400 Arrowmen at it,
please register today at: conclave.sectionw3n.org
Lodge Flaps
Do you know:
- What the 20th Anniversary Lodge flap looks like?
- When the last standard Lodge flap was issued, and when
the next one will be available?
- How a fundraiser flap will help reduce the cost for our
Youth to attend NOAC next summer?
With all of these questions, it looks like
there may be a few new Orca patches in the coming months.
Keep an eye out for news on these latest designs.
