Section NE-4B News

(By Ken Hager, Section Chief)

Gentlemen!

We are now in the home stretch for Conclave ’06! By now your contingents should be formed and you should have all your Conclave responsibilities squared away.

When talking to Bill from Enda and Christian from Monaken, I am confident that our cracker-barrel on Saturday night will be one to remember.

Any lodge who still has not received names of judges or other requests from the other lodges, please do not be afraid to send an e-mail out to this list. Remember to help support the other lodges in their need! Who knows when your lodge may need an extra hand at a future Conclave!

OJ has sent the last issue of the Informer out so you should be receiving it soon. It has a paper copy of the minutes from our last meeting.

I have contacted David Dowty (Past Nat’l VC) and Jess Rumburg (NE Venturing Pres.) to be guests at our Conclave. I will let you know when I receive their conformations. Rob from Ahtuhquog is also still trying to get Miss Teen Maryland. Hopefully we’ll have some great guests at Conclave!

If you have any problems for the COC to clear up, let us know now and we can kick it in the butt before it is too late!

Thanks and Best of Luck!
