"Leadership is not a burden, it is an opportunity, an experience, and a good time. Leadership is necessary to succeed. So why not get the practice now?" -Ian ----, Lodge Chief 2008-2009

This is a whole new year and there is much to do for everyone. The OA is a great opportunity for all of you only if you get involved. If this year is going to be better than last year, we need your help! Last year's Winter Banquet was a huge success, but this year there is a shortage of volunteers to get things moving. If you want to be a part of it, please call the committee chairman (Brenden ------ at -----) The easiest way to get involved in our lodge is to join a committee!
This is also Tahgajute's 65th anniversary. We will be voting on patch designs at the next meeting, so please send your designs to Anacondon50@aol.com A.S.A.P.

Updates/Lodge News:
Conclave 2009 will be at Camp Woodland outside of Syracuse; our CVC assignment this year is Friday-Night Special Events.
