Please see the attached information on the Annual Service project sponsored by the Ca-Nu-Pa Chapter of the Order of Arrow, Atta Kulla Kulla lodge. The project is to collect gift items and donate them to the Veterans residents at the Richard Michael Campbell Veterans Nursing home in Anderson, SC. There are approximately 220 Veteran residents in the nursing home.

Remember to invite Cub Scouts, Non-OA members, etc. to participate and all are invited to attend the Free Cookout afterwards.

Otherwise, you can also drop off your gift donations at the next Six and Twenty District Roundtable at LLDC on Thursday, Nov 4th.

On Saturday, Nov 6th, we'll meet at the Pavilion at the VA Home at 8:30am to sort the gift items. We'll deliver the gifts around 9:30am then tour the home and visit the residents. Cookout will start around 11:30am. We'll have a short Chapter meeting before the Cookout. We should be finished by between 1:00 -1:30pm. Remember to wear Class A's and OA members should wear their OA Sash.
