Wow!The 2007 Kawida Lodge's Fall Fellowship was one big weekend of awesome fun. I think at one point we had over 100 at the event. All of the activities and food were great!
After checking in and getting settled Friday night, HoggMan did his rendition of YMCA and had everyone holding their guts! Saturday morning started with Norm Lawson's O.A. Jeopardy Trivia game for lots of cool patches. George Vice, an old Kawida member, gave a very heart felt lecture on our founders.
The biggest patch trade of the weekend had to be between George and Charlie "Squeaky" Davis. They traded a Kawida Trail Hiker for a 1961 Conclave segment. Wooooo!!! RARE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After lunch was the highly anticipated Lodge Officer Elections for 2008. A long and tense story short: HoggMan got Lodge Chief, Hollywood got Vice Chief of Service, BabyGoff got Vice Chief of Brotherhood, Aaron Shep ( who ran unopposed and was out of town ) got Secretary, and the GlassMan won Treasurer. One common denominator. All Officers are from the "Hills"!
After the election, we had time to just talk and fellowship. C. Watts had a big crowd making choker necklaces. Some folks went down to the Rifle Range and busted some tight patterns, I heard.
We had a wonderful Brotherhood Ceremony for the GlassMan and his Dad, James. I just love a father and son going through the O.A. together.
Supper was huge, followed by our friends from Pellissippi and Ittawamba and their Indian Dance teams. I think that Glen Felty and Doug Ramey might have Dance Team ambitions for our Lodge? Stay tuned,...
Sunday morning, well, we were worn out, but we made time to worship and reflect. We are blessed and life is good.
It's fun to play at the,... Y M C A !!
