A message from our Conclave Service Lodge Chairman, Henry: "New official dates have been posted for Conclave 2021. Conclave 2021 will now be held on September 17-19, 2021. It has once again been pushed back from the traditional April weekend due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. With this later date, we hope to be on track with lifted regulations. As you mark your calendars for this weekend, please also be on the lookout for upcoming Beaver Workdays. These workdays will prep Pipsico for the most amazing Conclave since our last hosting in 2015!! We will be needing lots of help from Wahunsenakah brothers in the upcoming months. There will be many different subcommittees coming soon that will aid in different aspects of Conclave. These might include logistics, dining, setup crews, and even more! Please stay tuned for an official list of positions coming soon. When it is released, please let your Chapter Chief know your interest or feel free to contact myself or Mr. O’Flynn."
