Make sure you bring any final notes about Conclave, especially if you need something.

NOAC 2009 Training is filled with plenty of new opportunities to train the Arrowmen of today and those who will be chosen to lead into tomorrow. This year our theme is

“History proves all things of value start with one person who acts to better the world around him. You have that power, The Power of One, and this signature training session for NOAC 2009. Discover your power and your responsibility to use that power. This session will challenge you to IMAGINE how you can make a difference, BELIEVE that you have the power to effect change and learn to LEAD through SERVICE to change your life and the world around you. What is your greatest fear? Who, what, how do I impact? What makes a difference? What difference does it make? How do I succeed? What is success? What is the Power? Am I the One? Find the answers to these questions and others. Join us and discover your 'Power of One.'”

Our stride is fueled by new formats and new styles. We are moving to new session lengths and times. Participants have over 100 classes to choose from as they fill their two (2) 75-minute sessions each morning (Sunday through Tuesday) from 7 of our 8 different schools! The schools include:
• Leadership – A school on Leading those you Serve
• Nuts & Bolts – A school geared towards the basics of Lodge Operation
• Planning – A school that features courses to help you plan for everything that could come your way as leaders in the Order of the Arrow
• Service – A school aimed towards our basic purpose…cheerful service
• OA Traditions – A school providing rich OA history to the young and old
• Tools – A school providing you the items you need to fill your leadership tool box
• Vision – A school aimed to provide you with the higher purpose of the Order

Our 8th School will take place in the afternoons on Sunday and Monday. The School of Innovations will be introducing afternoon symposiums and workshops to give you hands-on experience in the new technologies and leadership methods that are continuing to shape your lodge as we speak. Features will include a Leadership Symposium, Media Blitz, The ONE Film Festival and a National Events Promotion Workshop.

In our pursuit to deliver cutting edge programs, the Training Committee is rolling out a new concept designed with ArrowCorps5 in mind. The Arrowmen Conservation School (ACS) is a new training opportunity to provide the technical and management skills needed to run a successful outdoor service project. The ACS is limited to 150 lucky participants. The school will provide youth outdoor leadership training, wilderness engineering (trail building, the 5-steps of conservation, etc.) and a very adept advising track for the adults. We are proud to support this great new opportunity that will give YOU the POWER to make difference in the nature that surrounds you back home!

Again, the Training Committee is STOKED about the great opportunities we have for you, provided by nothing short of the BEST trainers in the country. Come on down to this NOAC and discover how you can use your POWER to be the ONE to make a difference!

What I Want To Bring to the Section: I believe that the concept of brotherhood and FELLOWSHIP is being lost. I believe that high levels of enthusiasm and new program ideas will enhance the section to the level of "themostamazingsectioninthecountry!"

Interesting Facts: I have two bald patches in my beard...BUT I dont shave it off... I believe it adds character!

I play the tuba

I got hit in the head once with a baseball and the laces left a mark on my head for TWO weeks! (however it didnt knock me out!)

News just came in from Enda. The November Council of Chiefs meeting has been relocated to Heritage Reservation (Pathfinder Lodge). Please make this note!! We definitely don't want people showing up at Twin Echo and us not being there!!

Again: THE NOVEMBER COUNCIL OF CHIEFS HAS BEEN MOVED
FROM TWIN ECHO TO HERITAGE!!!

Don't forget to RSVP as soon as possible. And watch the website, NE4B.org for updates.

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
