Lodge Chief's Message
My fellow Arrowmen,
When I started this year, I never expected to be in the position I am in. Being elevated to the position of chief partway through my term was a surprise and an experience I will remember forever. From doing elections all over the council to visiting work crews at ordeal weekends, I have met more people and gained more insight into what the OA means to all of you and why it is important. Through this, I know that the spirit of service is still alive and well in Lake Erie Council. In the seven years I’ve been part of the OA, I’ve seen the lodges merge, I’ve seen leaders move on to bigger things and young ones rise up to take their place. Along the way, I have always done my best to be the example and serve the lodge. But we didn’t get here alone. There are countless people who showed me the way and counseled me to stay in the OA. From the one who first asked me to serve on the ceremonies team, to people who stayed up late to make phone calls and clean cabins, and the youth who showed me that I was still making a positive difference. But my generation is moving on and a new one is rising. Hopefully I have inspired you the way I was. And remember, the one who serves their fellows is of all their fellows greatest.
Yours in Service,
Ben Gifford
