Section NE-4B News

Hey Everyone!!

Hope everyone is doing well as we jump into the winter months!! I know the Section Staff has been pretty busy, getting ready for the Section Officers'
Seminar coming up as well as the November CoC. On that note, we have a few points of business to attend to:

1. Everyone needs to let Allen, or Adam Kostik know ASAP how many you have from your lodge attending the Nov. CoC. It's at Twin Echo in Ligonier. We'll be there Friday Night (for patch trading, fun and
fellowship!!) and the meeting itself will start at 8AM on Saturday.
Remember: Lodge Chief's, Advisers, and Conclave Chairmen should be attending. This CoC is going to be program based, so come with training and program ideas!! We should be done no later than 2pm. When you RSVP, let us know if you're coming Friday night or Saturday morning. Cost for food is $5.

2. Adam is putting together our first Informer for the year (for those who don't know, that's the Section Newsletter). He sent out an email earlier this week about needing articles. Lodge Chiefs: this means you!! Also, Section Chairmen should send him something too. (Good work Ted getting yours in already!!). This is the Informer that we're taking to the SOS, so let's make it a good one!!

3. The Section Fleeces have been ordered (make sure you thank Cletus and the Penn's Woods Council for helping us with this!!) Make sure, if you ordered one, that you have your $35 at the CoC, so we can give it to you :)

If anyone needs anything, please let us know!! We live to serve :) Have a safe and happy Halloween weekend!!

Yours in Brotherhood,

Allen, Craig, and Adam

Fellow Arrowmen,

Hello! My name is Teddy Kostich, and I am your current Section NE-4B Cub Scout Relations Chairman. The purpose of the Cub Scout Relations Committee is to promote Boy Scouting to Cub Scouts to show them that we can have fun and to encourage them to join a troop after they cross over. Also, we can raise awareness of the OA through the Cub activities, and in doing so, encourage more Scouts to meet the requirements for membership into our Order, and ultimately increase the size of the Brotherhood. For the Council of Chiefs on November 15th, I am asking that each Lodge be ready to discuss their Cub Scout program, such as what you do, what works best for you, etc., and to have ready any ideas or thoughts that you would like to talk about. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

In WWW,

Teddy Kostich
Section NE-4B Cub Scout Chairman
