Over 100 Arrowmen from around the Section gathered to help develop stronger Lodges through a series of training sessions aimed at the Quality Lodge requirements. The Section also hosted its second Council of Chiefs meeting of the year and continued to plan for the 2010 Conclave at Camp Sequassen. On behalf of the Section, thanks to Jacob LaValley, Section Vice Chief and Hunter McCormick, Section Training Adviser for putting together the QLS program. And thanks to all of the staff and trainers at the QLS: Chris McCloskey, Denis Pelletier, Chris Gardner, Mike O’Keeffe, Bill Chin, Ian Nichol, Tom Sinkewicz, Mike Alicea, Pat Boyd, Dan O’Rourke, Tom Pankosky, Ed McLaughlin, and Mike Pannone.
