NOAC 2002
Lodge Spirit Award Winners
The 2002 NOAC Special Events Committee was pleased to honor twenty lodges as recipients of the 2002 NOAC Lodge Spirit Award. This award, reconstituted in 2000 by the committee, challenged lodge contingents in the area of NOAC planning, participation, teamwork, and spirit.
Lodges desiring to be recognized were required to submit an application in advance and participate in a number of NOAC team activities and special events, including a ceremonial or Native American team event, a team sports competition, a Very Important Arrowman (VIA) luncheon, and any of a number of other team competitions or opportunities. Lodges were logistically challenged to gain validation of their single lodge scorecard at the various venues.
Weighted criteria for final scoring of the top 20 lodges included meeting or exceeding the lodge's assigned NOAC quota based upon total membership, the quality of the lodge display or booth in the OA Museum or Founders Day Fair, and total percentage of Arrowmen in the contingent who earned the NOAC Brotherhood individual participation award.
The award is an elegant acrylic flame displaying an etched NOAC logo that is suitable for permanent display. The 2002 recipients were recognized at the NOAC Founders Day fair by National Chief Clay Capp and Special Events CVC Andy Chapman. Lodge contingents ranging in size from just 14 to over 100 were among the recipients. Congratulations to the following recipients of the 2002 Lodge Spirit Award:
