Fort
Rosecrans Flag Placement
(June 4, 2010)
Early Saturday morning on
May 29, the road to Fort
Rosecrans became a very
bustling avenue of cars
filled with eager Cub
Scouts, Boy Scouts,
Scouters, Venture Scouts and
Girl Scouts all on a mission
to show their respect to
those whose lives were given
so we could be FREE.
Traditionally, the Packs
outnumber the Troops, and
this tradition, continued as
in years past. But, among
these Packs, among these
Troops, among these Crews
was the Order of the Arrow
'Spirit of Service.’

Chapter Spring 2010
Newsletter
(May 21, 2010)
With the help of many
Wulinaxin Arrowmen, the
Wulinaxin Chapter once again
pulled off an outstanding
Ordeal on May 7-8, 2010.
Inducted into the
brotherhood of cheerful
service were Eighty-one
Candidates!
Registration was manned by
Mrs. Diane Hadley of T-648
and Ms. Barbara Hauschildt
of T-301. Candidates were
placed in Clans, and thus,
the beginning of “The 2010
Wulinaxin Ordeal”.
Under the watchful eyes of
eighteen Elangomats and Head
Elangomat Mr. John Veneziano
of C-1212were the eight
Clans of Candidates. They
wore their various colors of
neckerchiefs: Purple, Royal
Blue, Light Blue, Forest
Green, Orange, Yellow, Red,
and Black and carried their
eight colorful Flags. It was
moving to see the flags
blowing as the Candidates
were led to an exquisite
Pre-Ordeal Ceremony site.
Who would have known this
except for the hard working
Ceremony Teams?

2010 Winter Newsletter
(Jan 27, 2010)
Since the Wulinaxin Chapter
was “Chapter of the Year”,
we got to sit up front.
We had the largest number in
attendance, 47 to be exact.
The food was delicious, and
plenty of it, four Wulinaxin
Arrowmen became Vigil
candidates, and the
highlight of the evening,
was that, we are for the 1st
time ever “CHAPTER OF THE
YEAR” two times in a row!
We are Chapter of the Year
because our Arrowmen stepped
up to the plate to give of
their time, talent and
support. It seems that
those who have the busiest
schedule in their school
life, band life, sports
life, family life and Troop
life give the most to the
Order of the Arrow life.
As your past Chapter Chief,
I just want to say THANK
YOU!

2009 Fall Newsletter
CATAPULT CRAZE!
(Oct 9, 2009)
Vice Chief Michael
Palmisciano gave them a nice
surprise by bring a four
foot catapult that, he
hoped, would amaze everyone.
It did just that, but not
quite as he predicted.
His water balloons only
traveled two feet and then
plunged to the ground
without blasting everyone
with water! It was a
dud twice! BUT, on his last
try he succeeded and
everyone gave a cheered!
After which, the contestants
took to the starting line
grouped into two categories,
small and large.

Chapter Arrowmen’s Kite
Flying Adventure at the YAC
(Aug 20, 2009)
For many, it was their first
day of school, so they
wanted to get out before
their super busy schedule
set in. Just for the
evening, they forgot their
new school year blues, and
had pure relaxation.
Plus, one couldn’t have
asked for a nicer day or
evening. The weather
was absolutely perfect with
just the right amount of
wind for kite flying and
warmth for a beach bonfire.
Arrowmen began to arrive
about 5 o’clock on the 20th
of August down at the Youth
Aquatic Center’s parking
lot.  |

2009 NOAC
(Aug 16, 2009)
“I’M THERE!” and had such a
marvelous experience. Read
on to acquaint yourself with
the many events that took
place by your fellow
Arrowmen at the National
Order of the Arrow
Conference held in
Bloomington, Indiana, August
1st through the 6th,
2009.
‘The Power of One’
was shown when one adult
Arrowman offered to trade
patches with me. He
helped me to understand
patch trading and gave me
great confidence for the
rest of the week. At
NOAC patch trading was a
very big event, as well as,
a great thrill! You
would walk out of your dorm
building and would see
several blankets covered in
patches! It was
amazing to see patches from
around the country,
representing every State and
even from out of the
country, namely, Japan.
It was a super way to meet
and talk to other Arrowmen.
You found a common interest.
We were given 5 pocket flaps
patches each from Mr.
Malaney to begin our
adventure of trading. And,
by the way, you will be able
to see our efforts at Fall
Fellowship at the Tiwahe
Patch Auction, so, plan to
attend!
