My Fellow Arrowmen,

The year of 2011 was a profound year for the Cahuilla Lodge. I am proud to say that we have once again attained the recognition of being a National Quality Lodge (for the seventh year in a row!!!). Congratulations to all of you. Furthermore, we have accomplished a great deal in pursuit of that goal. Earlier this year, Cahuilla was the instrumental lodge in the Section W4S project AreaCorps2 in Joshua Tree National Park. Of the sixty-three participants, Cahuilla provided forty-five of them. This truly shows our dedication to service. I have had the honor of being your chief this year and I look forward to staying on for 2012. I would like to thank all of my officers, John, Mark, Michael, Justin, and Billy, for their hard work this year. I would also like to thank my adviser, Mr. Ken Hedrick, for his help and support. I look forward to working with the new LEC. We have a lot to do this year, a NOAC and the new Journey to Excellence program to name a couple things. Despite everything in our path, I know that you, the Arrowmen of the Cahuilla Lodge, will endeavor to accomplish it.

Yours In Service,

Ian K. McLeod

Cahuilla Lodge Chief, 2012
