A Message on Committees
Brother, in order for our Lodge to be successful, members must play an active role in its programs. That is where committees come into play. By giving a small amount of your time each month serving on a committee, you help this Lodge in ways that you cannot possibly imagine.
You can sit on the sidelines and watch, or you can get in the game and become an active part of your Lodge. It is your choice - make it a good one. Being active helps both you and the Lodge prosper and grow.
In choosing to serve, you will meet other Arrowmen - some of whom will become your friend for life. You will also gain valuable experience and a better understanding of your Lodge, and the Order of the Arrow, while enjoying an experience that is fun, rewarding, and exciting.
Look inside your "Arrowman's Update" for the names and phone numbers of your Lodge Committee Chairmen. Look over the committees and choose one that interests you. Give that chairman a call - they will be glad to answer any questions you have, and welcome you into their committee.
