Section NE-4B News

Brothers:

The next COC will be on April 10 at Seven Mountains (exact
time/location TBD). This is a change of what we had
originally planned on, so please note this new date.

To each Lodge: We will be taking pictures for the guidebook at the
COC, so you must have everyone present. Also, each Lodge (this falls
on the officers) needs to electronically send me a copy of your Lodge
history no later than Wednesday, April 7. We are beginning to
take requests from Lodges for any program or training materials that
they will need for the Conclave. Please send those requests to me. We
will be getting plaques made up for events. For your Lodge
registrations, we need participant names, whether they are a youth or
adult, the participant's OA honor, and any major health/food concerns
that we should be aware of. All Lodges need an approximate count of
participants at the COC. You will, of course, be able to add
participants leading up to Conclave, but your approximate count is
necessary to begin the final planning stages.

Thanks for your cooperation and support as we get ready to celebrate
100 years of Scouting at the 2010 Section NE-4B Conclave. Look for a
more formal update in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can
contact me at (717) 994-0647 or joncherry@gmail.com for any questions
that you have.

Jon Cherry

Brothers,

As you all know, Conclave is rapidly approaching. With less than six months to go, it's crunch time! Conclave Chairmen and Lodges should be towards the final parts of planning their contributions to Conclave. As we come into the "home stretch," be checking out your e-mails and the Section Website more often. The website has not received many updates as of yet, but I will be posting much more information as we draw closer to June 11-13.

In WWW,
Ted
Your Friendly Section Secretary
