Arrow Error


With Arrow
 
Without Arrow

According to Nick Oliver, our NOAC Contingent Chief and designer of the Kawida 2-piece trader, there were 10 top pieces that did not have an arrow that showed up randomly in the youth member's allocation.  The manufacturer must have known this and sent them anyway, as we received an extra 10 delegate flaps to make up for the difference.

Collectable or not, it caused quite a buzz at NOAC.

Back Home From NOAC

We leave MSU at 7:30 am and get back to Pikeville at 6:30 pm.  Long day of driving the van!

Looking back, this group of youth that attended from Kawida Lodge really came together in a very special way.  They really got the message.  They united and together they will leave a LEGACY.

Can't wait to see what it will be.
