Adults are elected into this youth run organization because adult !eaters in their troops feel that they may be of some service to the youth of the council. To clarify the purpose of adults. the LEC has created The 1994 Adult Leadership Campaign . Adults can best fulfill their role in the Order of the Arrow by following these three simple steps : 1. Bring at least three youth arrowmen for every adult to Lodge functions. 2. Serve as a Knowledge base in their troops for all Order of the Arrow events and Lodge functions. 3. Be active and supportive members of the Chickasah Lodge and its officers. The theme for this campaign is A D U LT SUPPORT=YOUTH By: Andrew Williams This year the LEC is commited to compiling a list of all past Lodge Chiefs. We have records dating back to the mid '80s, but the Lodge goes back decades further. Any information you have about past Lodge Chiefs will be greatly appreciated. Please contact Andrew Williams at (901)345-1038, or send your information to: Andrew Williams 1764 Dale Lavern Memphis TN 38111 1------------------- INVOLVEMENT . The onlywaywe"can have-an-active and prodoctive Lodge is throuqh adult support and youth involvement(hence the theme).
