Operation Service

At this year's conference, the Activities and Recreation Committee (ARC) provided an opportunity for Arrowmen to participate in an activity that is the founding purpose of our organization - service. "Operation Service" consists of various work projects carried out by Arrowmen during the conference, both on and off the Iowa State University campus. These projects included cleaning up around the lake on the ISU campus, rendering service to the Ames Police Department and a working at a youth sports complex. The service projects were completed by hundreds of Arrowmen on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Arrowmen got their hands dirty and pitching in to helped the university and the city of Ames.

Those Arrowmen who participated in Operation Service for a minimum of two hours earned a limited edition 2004 Operation Service Award patch! This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to join together with hundreds of Arrowmen from all over the country to live up to the Order's greatest ideal— cheerful service.
