New Service Project - May 21, 2008
This is our third service project of the year. The project will take place on May 21 at 6:30pm at Shriners Hospital. We will be providing free summer camp physicals for all the scouts and scouters in the district. We will need OA members to assist with eye tests, height and weight measurement, regestration, and the overall flow of the event.

Chiefly Spoken
"The Order is a thing of spirit rather than of mechanics. Organization, operational procedures, and all that go with them are necessary in any large and growing movement, but they are not what counts in the end. Things of the spirit are what count:Brotherhood - in a day when there is too much hatred at home and abroad
Cheerfulness - in a day when the pessimists have the floor and cynics are popular ...
Service - in a day when millions are interested in getting or grasping, rather that giving."
By: Dr. E. Urner Goodman, Founder of the Order of the Arrow
