Good Evening Everybody,
I hope everyone is doing well and having a great week. Tomorrow, Friday October 22nd will be a regular meeting and we will be focusing on First Aid requirements.
On Saturday, October 23rd, Life Scout Matthew Balsamo will be working on his Eagle Scout Project at Resurrection- Ascension Church. The project will run from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm. and will consist of scraping/painting of the fence around Fr. Feely Hall and doing some planting/clean-up of the grounds. You don’t have to stay the whole day. Please come out and support Matt, as he works towards his Eagle Scout Rank. Lunch will be provided. Matt will also be working on the project on Saturday October 30th as well. Please sign-up tomorrow night at the meeting.
The next opportunity for service will be on Saturday October 6th and Sunday October 7th at Our Lady of Hope Church. The troop was asked to assist with the Thanksgiving Food Drive Money Collection. We need at least four scouts to sign-up for each of the six masses. Sign-up sheets will be available tomorrow night.
Lastly, please remember that our Cheesecake Fundraiser is going on. For each cake that a scout sells, $5 goes into the scout’s account to use for trips and other troop activities. The deadline for the orders in Friday November 5th. Order forms will be available at tomorrow night’s meeting.
That’s it for now. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night.

Brothers –
Our monthly chapter meeting will be held this Monday, October 18th, at Our Lady of Hope Parish. We will be meeting in the outdoor area behind the parish rectory located at 61-27 71st Street, Middle Village. This month’s theme is Halloween and Oktoberfest, so all are invited to come in either a Halloween costume/themed outfit or an Oktoberfest-themed outfit. We will be participating in some fun activities during the meeting. As always, please bring your sash. In addition, we will be holding our yearly Chapter Elections during this meeting. Anyone who is considering running for a Chapter Officer Position (Vice Chief, Secretary, or Treasurer) is asked to prepare a short address . It should be noted that a Chapter Officer position is a big commitment. Any member who knows any brothers that have become inactive due to the COVID-19 related alterations to our ability to meet, feel free to invite them down to what should be the grand restart of Mespaetch Chapter. Dues will be collected.I hope to see many of you there on Monday!
