Area and Regional Representatives need to assist their Chapters and ensure the CARs are submitted to the
National Office.

We had a very successful and enjoyable Sojourner year in 2021-2022 under the leadership of Brother Wayne
Barnes, PNP, and Brother Paul Pennybacker, PNC. We now look forward to this current year 2022-2023
under the leadership of Brother Denny Norris, serving as our National President, while we celebrate 100 years
of Heroes of ’76, with Brother Randy Geck, serving as National Commander.

Extensive plans have been laid out by Brother Geck and the Heroes Centennial Committee to promote and
celebrate our Centennial within our Heroes’ Camps, which in turn will benefit National Sojourners as a whole.
The “Heroes Centennial Tool Kit” is posted on the website with detailed information and incentives on how
you, your Heroes Camp and Sojourner Chapter can participate to receive recognition and awards.
