Brothers of the Eastern Region,

The start of 2026 has been strong! As I settle into my position, I want to express gratitude to my team for coming together to make sure we have the best year we possibly can!

Our first NLS and DYLC course was very successful, bringing learners from multiple states to Fruitland Park, FL. In just a few shorts weeks, we will be holding our second course in Schuylkill Haven, PA to a sold out group of learners. Registration will be opening soon for our fall NLS and DYLC courses, and I encourage everyone to attend. I can assure you that this course will change your life for the better.

Over the last 3 months, I've traveled to my first few events of the year, and each of them have been great! I love getting the opportunity to meet Arrowmen from our region, because each and every one of you help make our region such a special family. Conclave season is swiftly approaching, and I'm looking forward to meeting more of you at these great events filled with fellowship.

I look forward to seeing you all in the field! Keep up the great work, and ALWAYS remember that EAST IS BEAST!
