Winter Banquet
Registration closes on Sunday, February 3! Don’t delay, register today! No walk-ins can be accepted due to catering requirements.

Join us for our Winter Banquet on Saturday, February 16, for a festive evening of recognitions and awards paired with great food. All Arrowmen and family members are invited to celebrate each other’s accomplishments and join in fellowship. With a delicious feast prepared by Wagner's of Westlake, you won’t leave hungry. Festivities will begin at 6pm (doors will open at 5pm).

Our program will include recognizing the Ordeal, Brotherhood, and Vigil Classes of 2018; Active Arrowmen; Lodge Beads; Founders Award; and 2019 Vigil Callout. We’ll also have our popular trading post open in addition to a silent auction. And you don’t want to miss the naming of our mascot!

Dinner choices include grilled marinated chicken, sliced top round of beef au jus, or mushroom ravioli in marinara sauce along with whipped potatoes, mixed vegetables, salad, roll & butter, and iced tea and coffee.

The first 200 members to register and have paid their 2019 dues will receive a commemorative patch!

Unit Elections Underway
Election season has begun! In order to meet the demand for elections, we need help from all Arrowmen, whether you’re new to the Order or a veteran. Email elections@erielhonan.org if you would like to help out!

Scoutmasters, Venturing Crew Advisors, and Sea Scout Skippers are asked to sign up early for unit elections in order to get the dates they want. Unit leader information was distributed by email at the beginning of January. If you need it to be re-sent, contact elections@erielhonan.org.
February LEC Meeting
The next Lodge Executive Committee (LEC) meeting is scheduled for 10 am Saturday, February 9 at the North Olmsted Branch Library, 27403 Lorain Road, North Olmsted. The meeting is open to all lodge members.

Anyone with new business for the LEC must submit a written summary to Lodge Chief Evan Richwalsky at lodgechief@erielhonan.org no later than Friday, Feb. 1.
Sipp-O on Ice
We’ve been invited to attend Scout Night with Sipp-O Lodge at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown on Friday, February 8, to see the Youngstown Phantoms hockey team play the Lincoln Stars. Tickets are $7 each and open to family members, too. You can sign up yourself at http://www.buckeyecouncil.org/Event.aspx?id=6567 (this isn’t an Erielhonan Lodge-coordinated event). The ice will be opened up after the game for a skate with the team if you have skates to bring along.
Spring Fellowship

Great Scott, Marty! Firelands Scout Reservation has been transported back to 1955 and we are all stuck here. Let’s get all our fellow Arrowmen here to repair the flux capacitor so we can get back home to 2019!

We invite you to travel back in time for a weekend full of themed activities, great food, and even an old school prom (dates not required). Set your time machines for 1955 and drive as close to 88 mph as you can (legally) and join us for Erielhonan’s Spring Induction from April 26-28!

Highlights for the weekend:

  • First Ordeal opportunity for new candidates!
  • Brotherhood opportunity for eligible members!
  • The first 150 people to register will get the first patch in the 2019 Back to the Future patch set!
  • Cabin camping!

Set your watches to arrive at 7:00 p.m. Friday, April 26, at Camp Avery Hand at Firelands Scout Reservation. We hope to see you at the Spring Induction!

In the aftermath of last year's devastating wildfires, the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service is offering OA Philbreak 2019, a unique opportunity for Arrowmen to help repair fire damage in time for the summer season.

Crews will work on slope stabilization, such as log erosion barrier installation, revegetation, and forest thinning. Participants will stay in dormitory-style housing at the Philmont Training Center, with breakfast and dinner in the dining hall. Crews will be transported to work sites each day and provided with trail lunches.
