Lodges from across the country have come from all across the country to finish out the SummitCorps service project in Week 4.
The check in process went really well with no problems and all the guests excited to be here for their week of service then fun.
The Opening show went off without a hitch, the guest speakers included Captain Jamie Bowen of the West Virginia National Guard, Rap Capp ( the National Committee Chairman), Jonathan Hillis (2011 National Order of the Arrow chief), Dwayne Fontenette Jr. (the 2011 Southern Region chief), the Adult Incident Commander, Matt Walker, and the Youth Incident Commander Samuel Bellomy.
A special presentation of the night was when Captain Jamie Bowen gave Jonathan a coin which represented his unit in Iraq which had been taken to war and come back.
One of the quotes of the night given by Matt was that "No one leaves horizontal!"

The day began with a successful first Week 4 deployment of buses to the work sites
 |
| The day started off like every day should, ea complete tool talk to ensure safety is kept 1st in all the work sites |
 |
| As the participants got off the bus, coming back to the armory they were greeted by smiles, high-fives, ice-pops, and even stickers for their helmets. |

| One of the events that happened today was crew photos, these will be posted later in the week on www.photobucket.com/SummitCorps2011 |

| One of the new things at the Mountain Man exhibit is that they had a brand of the NRX symbol so participants were able to brand things of their choosing to remember SummitCorps |
