Greetings brothers,

We hope this email finds you well. Attached below, you will find the State of the Section report, presented to all of the Scouting leaders who attended the Area 5 Key Leadership Conference on Saturday. Our section is in terrific shape and the momentum for everything coming our way in 2017 is building!
 
 
2017 Dixie Fellowship
It cannot be stated enough – we need everyone to be ALL IN for this Dixie Fellowship. Please take full advantage of all the D-PRO resources that are available to you. 
 
 
Working together, we can ensure that the 65th anniversary Dixie Fellowship is the biggest and best one yet! Moving forward, we will begin to “focus in” on our preparations for the Dixie Fellowship. It is important to contact the appropriate individuals should you ever have any questions along the way.

Reflecting on the Carolina’s Indian Seminar
Fellow Arrowmen,

I wanted to send a big thank you to all of you that attended Carolina’s Indian Seminar. It is because of the great love and respect of American Indian Affairs by the Arrowmen in this section that we are able to have such great success in events like CIS. Our section is a treasure trove of American Indian knowledge and I encourage you to continue in your AIA experience or get started and find someone to tell you a little more. Working as staff at the American Indian Village at Jamboree was one of the best opportunities I’ve had during my time in the Order. Our Section Chief Matt Watson will be serving as the Jamboree Vice Chief at this Jamboree and if you would like a little more info about this great program, shoot him an email at matthewwatson2009@gmail.com

SR-5 Special Events Coordinator
 
Final Words from the Officers
Dixie 2017 is swiftly approaching and we must do everything we can to get as many Arrowmen as possible to attend. The 65th anniversary celebration will truly be an unforgettable event! 
 
Until we meet again, let’s continue to keep the Arrow aimed high! As always, please do not ever hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. WWW
 
In the Spirit of our Founders,
 
Matthew Watson | SR-5 Section Chief
Nick Zanzot | SR-5 Section Vice Chief
