Other adults, please note, we need help with other positions also. We are feeling the loss of Mr. Shields and are realizing just how much he did for our crew. If you are willing to help, please contact Jerry Andrews, our committee chair, and tell him you want to meet the challenge!

The 2009 Lodge Winter Banquet was held January 10 at the VSC. 166 Lodge Brothers, family members and guests attended with TQB having 42 members present!
This was indeed TQB's night -
Colin P. received the Founder's Award
Mr. Shields received the Founder's Award
Andrew W. received the Key Three Youth Award
Mr. Guerin received the Key Three Adult Award
TQB was awarded 68 of the 77 Service Hawk Awards earned in the Lodge
TQB was overwhelmingly Chapter of the Year (Third time in last four years!)
The Founder's Award is the highest honor a Lodge can bestow upon a member and represents the total personal commitment to the Order of the Arrow, the Obligation of the Order and our principles of Brotherhood Cheerfulness and Service by the recipient. Congratulations to Colin P. and Mr. Shields - both of our Brothers are fully deserving of this esteemed honor.
The Key Three Award is decided upon by the Lodge Chief, Lodge Adviser and Lodge Staff Adviser and is presented in recognition of exceptional service to the Lodge and her members by the recipient. Andrew W. was singled out for his outstanding work on Summerfest 2009 and Mr. Guerin for the excellence he displayed as an Adviser for Adventure Camp 2009. The Key Three wished there could be two Youth Awards because they were greatly impressed by the work of Michael R. on Adventure Camp as well. Apparently the deciding factor was that Summerfest was a totally new event.
The fact remains that the Brothers of TQB get the job done and done correctly! What an honor it is to be associated with each of you outstanding Arrowmen. Thank you for a stellar year and a 2010 which will be even better!!

If you lost a headlamp at the Woodruff Ordeal, send an e-mail to the TQB webmaster. Describe it, and it's yours. I'll bring it to our next meeting.

Thanks to everyone who attended practice on Sunday, May 23. It was dynamite having you there. Looks like we're off to another great year. We had 7 strong voices around the drum. With two of our veterans out, and five new brothers interested, but unable to attend, we should have an outstanding year ahead if everyone applies themselves.
NEXT PRACTICES:
Sunday, June 6 -- 2:00-4:00 [NOTE TIME CHANGE!!!]
Sunday, July 18 -- 1:30-3:30
Duluth United Methodist Church (DUMC) {in the Scout Hut behind the main building (T-419) off the rear parking lot}
3208 Duluth Highway 120
Duluth, GA 30096
Contact Jake Sandlin if you have questions: guitarhero1128@aol.com
The vocables and words to the tunes we covered can be found in the Files section of our chapter website. I'll also try emailing the tunes themselves for downloading via separate emails. Try running through the tunes several times over the coming weeks. They're easy to memorize if you keep them in your head.
If you are unable to make a practice, don't forget to contact Jake well in advance: guitarhero1128@aol.com
We've found that guys who attend at least 1/2 the practices are prepared to play with TQB Drum at performances. If you want to play in a competition, expect that you'll need to be at most all practices. If you are unable to attend at least 1/2 the scheduled dates, you'll be welcomed to play during practices. Just don't automatically expect to play at performances. Talk to Jake if you have questions regarding participation.
If you want to see more about powwow drumming, go to YouTube and search "powwow". There's tons of clips where you can see dancing and drums. The more you hear and see, the better you're going to be come the next practice.
Thanks again for the work today. I hope it was fun.
Dr Sandlin

We are having another drum practice this Sunday, May 23, 2-4:00pm, so our newest TQB members can have a chance to check out this really fun activity. Contact Mr. Sandlin at JRSandlin1@att.net with questions. If you just joined TQB or are an old timer wanting to check out the drum action, be there Sunday!

OK, thanks for the response guys. It seems Sunday works best for everyone. That means practice will be at my office. While it's a little further out of the way, please assure your parents/drivers that this is a temporary fix. Regular practice will start up at DUMC Scout Hut in a few weeks, so the drive won't usually be this bad.
Also, parents/drivers are welcome to hang out at my office (coffee available), but I'm just down the road from Discover Mills and several other options for errand running. Ask them to call me if they have questions. My address is below.
See you at 2PM Sunday. We'll practice upstairs. Come around to the left side of the building and find the stairs. The door is outside the building. Practice should finish up around 3:45-4:00PM.
