Thomas, Kyle & Declan’s grandfather passed away on Sunday.

Services will be held Today (Tuesday) & Tomorrow at:
Fairchild Funeral Chapel
1570 Northern Blvd.
Manhasset, NY, 11030

From 3-5p & 7-9p

The troop send’s its deepest condolences to our Scouts and their family.

It’s that time of year again, as many of you may know Mike co-chairs the charitable arm of the company he works for. Citi Habitats Cares is working along-side JCCA to sponsor over 175 NYC foster kids this year.

If you would like to sponsor a kid a $50 minimum gift is required (because for some these kids this may be the only gift they get), and all you need to do is contact Mike. He will provide you a wishlist from one & gifts need to be delivered to Mike by Dec 23 (You can give it to him at the troop holiday party)

Thanks in advance for your generosity. 

We are happy to announce that we have sold out of wreaths. Great job to all the scouts & adult volunteers. We sold 35 dozen in total. 

We are looking to have a more streamlined process next year, so any suggestions you may have please send to Pat. The committee will be working on a standardized plan for wreaths, to 1st implement next year.

Scouts should be in Class A uniform, as well as any uniformed leaders.

Volunteer Opportunity 
We have 7 slots that need to be filled. Any scouts who can do an extra selling shift and cover one of those vacancies will receive service hours.

IMPORTANT ADULT INFORMATION
Please keep any “Tip/donation” money separate from wreath money
Any parents/scouts who picks up their 3 wreaths they need to purchase at a selling shift, you (adult running selling shift) need to let Henry know.

Please ensure:
Place no signs on the building
Do not block the entrance
Sweep up when you are done for the day
Make sure the boys are courteous
At Artis Drugs:
Do not setup in front of the bank, only in front of the entrance of Artis. Best is the 80 Ave side.

Any questions direct to Mike.

We need a few wreath selling shifts filled. 

Adult:
Sat 10-1P @ Metfood
Sat 4-7P @ RA

Youth:
3 Slots Sat 10-1P @ Metfood
1 Slot Sat 1-4 @ Metfood
1 Slot Sat 1-4 @ Artis Drugs

Any youth who agrees to do a second selling shift, in order to help us out, will get service hours for it.

Please contact Mike ASAP if you can help.

Today is the last day to get your orders in.

They should go directly to Henry. & can be dropped at his house/mailbox

61-35 75 place.

Pickup will be Tuesday next week.

Please be at the church no later than 6P. If you are someone who tends to be late, imagine we are meeting at 530.

Due to the weather (mid 50’s on Friday and mid 40’s on Saturday) we have amended the required uniform. Bring your Class B polo, which we will wear on Friday, along with pants of your choice. Saturday, you can wear whatever you please. Keep in mind that in the morning it will be in the high 30’s, so please pack appropriately.

Also, Scouts must bring a water bottle, mess kit & day pack (Backpack).

A bunch of people have asked about spending money. Considering all the places we are going, $40-50 should be more than ample. Scouts won’t need money for anything planned.

Send scouts with a dinner for Thursday evening as the troop will not be providing dinner.

Here is the list of the 12 boxs which will get bunks. This was based in order of who paid in full first:
Aiden
Sashi
Sal
Mohr
Sammon
Brandon B.
Matt Balsamo
Kyle
Thomas
Khyn
Patrick
Milo

Everyone else, adults included will have to sleep on the floor. You can bring a cot, or sleeping pad. No queen sized air mattresses. Make sure to bring a sleeping bag. Sleeping on the floor without a pad or anything will be a good precursor if you are going to Florida Sea Base, as the night we spend on the desertered island is coral, and one of the most uncomfortable surfaces in the world.

Scouts should have class A uniform, as well as class b polo. In the case your scout has yet to receive one please respond to this email and let us know.

Leaving from Trinity at 6p on Thursday. Returning by 2 on Sunday.

We still need 2 more drivers. We thought some adults might be enticed by the fact that we are having dinner at Cheers, Friday night in Boston.

Any questions direct to Mike

We need 2 drivers to help us.

Email Mike immediately.

Thanks
