Winter Banquet will be held January 4, 2020 at the Airport Holiday Inn at 6111 Fleur Drive in Des Moines. This event consists of numerous awards given out such as honoring our newest Ordeal, Brotherhood and Vigil Honor members as well as people going above and beyond in service to the Lodge and the Order. Special awards include Arrowmen of Achievement and Founders Awards!

We will have a Lodge Executive Committee Meeting in the afternoon (details coming later) for all vice-chiefs, advisers and anybody interested in the inner workings of the Lodge.

This year we are privileged to welcome the National Director of the Order of the Arrow, Matt Dukeman, to Winter Banquet. He will be having a separate Meet & Greet at 4:30 in the banquet hall lobby for any Arrowmen to come meet him and say hi!

Doors to the banquet hall will open at 5:30pm, with a flag ceremony at 5:45pm followed by a delicious dinner and dessert during the program.

We will also have the Mitigwa Lodge trading post open with all of our new merchandise, including the black hoodie featuring lodge flap designs from years past.

Because we are catering food, there can be no walk-ins for this event. Please register early.  We hope to see you there as we celebrate this past year and look forward to a great 2020!
