Brothers,

I am thrilled to announce and invite you to the first in-person, Lodge-wide event since the COVID-19 pandemic began! 

Due to the unprecedented circumstances we have been facing for months now, our Lodge has developed the necessary safety measures, protocols, and procedures to offer a safe and meaningful Lodge-wide Ordeal. This exciting event will take place @ Camp William B. Snyder on September 18-19th. 

Although this is an Induction, the leadership at VA Central Service Area has organized several slots for day attendees. To adhere to our Lodge COVID-19 policies, as a day attendee you can support the service projects happening at the Ordeal as well as have the opportunity to work alongside candidates. Lodge members who register to be day attendees will be organized in small Service Teams and will be providing cheerful service around the camp in conjunction with the Lodge Induction. 

If you are interested in staffing the Lodge Induction for both days, as either a support staff or as an Elangomat, please reach out Mr. Beckman Hollis virginiacentralarea@wipit470.org.

Information for the preparation and changes our Lodge will be conducting to reduce the risk of disease transmission at this event can be found on the registration page for the event or on the Lodge website at http://wipit470.org/covid.html.
