Riverwood District Roundtable
HOW TO GET A RIDE: This is the same date, time and location
as Roundtable, the monthly meeting of Scoutmasters and other
adult leaders, so just ask your Scoutmaster or other adult
leader if he or she can give you a ride. If you don't have
an adult leader attending, carpool, and ask parents to take
turns driving.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: The meeting is open to ALL Riverwood
Chapter members, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to
attend. In particular, Troop OA Representatives should
always attend, or send a substitute if they can't make it.
Remember, Troop OA Reps, this is how you get the info to
pass on to your troop...they're counting on you, and so is
the Chapter.
QUESTIONS: Scouts, just contact Chapter Chief Eric F.
(through the Chapter Adviser Al Martin) at 651-439-1399
or via E-mail at Checkmate25@comcast.net.
(Sorry...we're not allowed to have telephone or email info
for youth members). Adults, please contact Al Martin.

2007 FALL CONCLAVE DATE AND LOCATION SET
We will have our first solo Conclave on September
14-16, 2007, FCA Upper level
Update your calendars!
Additional details, including exact times, will be posted
here as the conclave draws closer.
THREE IMPORTANT NOTES FOR UNIT LEADERS, PARENTS, AND
NEW CANDIDATES:
1. New candidates, (those who are elected in the spring
of 2006 and are then called out at summer camp), will
receive a letter with conclave details, including what to
bring, how to pay, where to go, and so on. That letter
will arrive after you are called out.
2. New candidates from Riverwood Chapter (same as
Riverwood District), should plan to attend the Riverwood
Fall Conclave. However, if it is impossible to attend our
conclave, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make arrangements
to attend the conclave of another chapter, on another
weekend. Its easy to do. Just look at the letter you
received to select a weekend on which you are available,
call the Adult Adviser of both Riverwood Chapter AND the
chapter whose conclave you will be attending to let them
know your plans, and when you send in your Conclave
Registration Form indicate on that form which conclave you
will be attending.
IMPORTANT: If you do not attend ANY conclave in the fall
of 2006, it is likely that there will be no "make-up"
conclaves later, and that you will thus not become an OA
member unless your unit elects you again in 2007 or later.
3. Parents, the Order of the Arrow does maintain an air
of mystery about the Order and its ceremonies because of
the attractive role mystery plays. However, the Order of
the Arrow does not conduct any activities that are not
open to your complete inspection. The Order of the
Arrow Handbook states that "Youths should feel free
to discuss their experiences with their parents." So, if
you have questions about the Order of the Arrow, please
feel free to call the Chapter Adult Adviser, whose
telephone and email address are listed below.
