NOAC Update:
Our Lodge just returned
from the National Order of the Arrow Conference in Ames, Iowa. A week
of training and competition was spent at the University of Iowa. Here
is a listing of competitions we either won or did well in:
American Indian Events:
Raymond Leatherman and
Brian Manuel both danced individual old style and placed second and
fifth (respectively). The drum team placed seventh and the dance
team once again won the National Championship. The Ceremonies team
also did well. Robbie Miller, Jay McKinney, Adam Lutterloh, and Jeff
Rasmussen competed and received Honor Medals for the Pre-Ordeal
Ceremony. Adam Lutterloh and Jeff Rasmussen also competed in the
Vigil Ceremony and received medals for performing quality
ceremonies.
Other Events:
Eswau Huppeday sent out
a Volleyball team into the tournament and tied for fifth place
overall. The Brotherhood participation award was an individual award
that every member of our contingent earned at this NOAC. Our website
received Honor Site status and is one of only two Lodges to have
received this honor since the competition was started in 2000.
We also took home the most prestigious award offered at NOAC, the
Lodge Spirit Award. Only twenty lodges in the nation took home this
award and we were one of them. Just a news update. Every member of
the lodge contingent should be congratulated as it was a team effort
that enabled us to succeed at this NOAC.
