Well to say that this article is overdue would be an understatement and for that I apologize. But nevertheless here it is. For the 177 people who attended the banquet I don't need to remind you of the fun time that was had by all. The Swan Club hosted a great night. The food was excellent. For this year's gift, we gave out a back patch. But not just any back patch, a limited edition legend patch special for the banquet which was numbered and each person who paid for the banquet received a unique number. For those who have not received their patch don't worry their in the mail you should have them within a week. In addition to everything else that went on, our Supreme Chief of the Fire Ed M addressed the lodge and emphasized the point of brotherhood conversions and quality lodge something we should all be striving for. Then our lodge chief Chris Hegs got up, kept it short and sweet, and told us about the recent success our lodge has enjoyed. Awards were giving out to those arrowmen who have gone above and beyond not just the past year but throughout their entire scouting and OA careers. Congratulatoins to those brothers. As I said above we had 177 people registered for the banquet this year. Along with my advisor Ken F. we have a goal of at least 200 people for the 2007 banquet. Location is still being discussed. One thing we are very interested in doing is offering a discounted rate for youth. I hope we see more youth this December at the banquet. Don't forget to bring your friends, parents, girlfriends, or any other guests. Keep checking back for information about this years banquet because December will come sooner than you realize. Thank you to all who attended and I hope to see the rest of you at the 2007 banquet. Also keep checking back for pictures from the 2006 banquet.
