LEB asks lodge to accept new By Law revisions

Posted: November 22, 2004

A time has come in our lodge when we can make changes that will forever alter the course of the lodge. Our lodge is governed by a set of rules called by-laws. These act as the constitution of the lodge, defining how it runs. Several changes have been identified by the Lodge Executive Board, which we feel are worthy of change. However, according to the by-laws themselves, these changes can only be made with your consent in the form of a vote.

The June - October Issue of The Legend has been mailed to all current dues paid members. Some might notice some of the articles are the same as the articles in the last Legend posted online - there was a mailing snafu and the last Legend was only distributed to a limited number of Arrowmen - for this reason the newsletter was updated with more current information and mailed again to everyone - we apologize for the confusion and thank everyone for their support.
