Conclave 2008 News
Win a Pizza Party For Your Lodge!
As an incentive to increase registration for Conclave 2008, the next two lodges who have twelve additional individuals register AND pay for Conclave 2008 will receive a pizza party! To register, just click here and then click "Register Now!" The deadline for a registration to count towards this offer is 12:01 am on May 16, 2008.
Each of the two winning lodges will be provided with a voucher for ten pizzas and five 2-liters of pop at Conclave. Lodge leadership will then decide when to hold the party. Because Thal-Coo-Zyo Lodge is the service lodge of Conclave this year, they are not eligible to receive this prize.
Conclave Patch Design Released!
The 2008 Conclave patch design has been released. Patches can be ordered to pickup at Conclave when registering or can be shipped to you by ordering at the trading post page.
Conclave Totem Pole
Each lodge is asked to bring a totem pole segment with them to Conclave to be added to a section totem pole. This is a great way for the Section to leave a positive impact on the camp that graciously opens its doors for our Conclave. A schematic for the totem pole is available here, however there are a couple changes. The totem pole crew tells us to take two, instead of four 6X6 pieces of wood, connect them side by side with Lag Screws. The length should be at least 3 feet per section. This section should be carved and then brought to Conclave. There this "front" piece will be connected to an already existing back piece that has not been carved. The totem pole crew will complete the connection, etc.
Progress Made Towards 2008 Conclave
At the November Council of Chiefs, several key Conclave 2008 matters were discussed. Following are the highlights:
The theme "In the Spirit of Service" was chosen.
The service lodge announced that there will be limited tenting available for participants to stay in. It is recommended that participants bring a tent.
The event was officially moved for 2008 to May 30-June 1 and will be held at Camp Arrowhead in Ona, WV.
Finally, a motion carried to set the Conclave fee at $40. There will be a $7 discount for those registering online and submitting their payment prior to May 15. Credit card payments will be accepted this year with no convenience fee incurred.
