The Region Chiefs and the ARC Staff teamed up to provide the conference with the Region Gatherings and the Grand Hodag on Tuesday night. 
Arrowmen from all of the four regions: Northeast, Southern, Western, and Central, filled Ledds Hall with pride and a strong display of lodge spirit and enthusiasm. Chants began as the regions yelled their name and inspired region pride that could be felt by everyone!
The Region Chiefs introduced the Section Chiefs in their respective region. In the Northeast, the Region Chief Ed Lynes also promoted the Order of the Arrow Wilderness Voyage.
After the region gatherings, the 'Grand Hodag' began. It started with the NOAC Game Cube where participants attempted to put together a cube
that consists of eight separate parts. Each participant began with eight identical parts of the cube. The idea was to meet other conference members 
from the different Regions and obtain the other seven parts. It was truly a great event! Patch trading was also popular with the participants at the Grand Hodag. The patch traders lined the perimeter of the hall, swapping their patches while attempting to complete their cube. Great joy was felt by Arrowmen as they completed the cube. The evening continued well into the night with fun and fellowship.
