I have all the details and wanted to send out a new message as there were a few changes.
Date: Friday, November 23rd
Time: 11A – 3P (or until the food is done, we will start serving at Noon)
Location: PS 105 Playground (the schools address is 420 Beach 51st Street), but we will be set up at Beach 50th and Beach Channel Drive
Description: We wil be cooking and serving hot food to the members of the community.
Needs: I DO NOT need people to bring trays of food (this is a small change). I DO need people to come help cook and serve.
If you want to bring something, you can bring bottled water that we will hand out with the food. Also if anyone wants to chip in (financially) that would be appreciated.
If you have any questions or if you want to come help please email Mike.
On Friday I will be setting up a spot in the Rockaways and serving Hot food to the community.
This is something I personally want to do and am sending it out to the troop because I know many of you might like to get involved as well.
Here is the information I have so far (some details still pending, please come back to this post to check for updates):
Date: Friday November 23rd
Time: 11A – 3P
Location: Info Coming Soon
Description: We will be serving hot food to those in the community. Many of these people still do not have heat or hot water and some still don’t have electricity. We will setup at 11A and start heating up all of the food. We will begin serving at Noon and serve until 3P or when we run out of food
What I need: I need people to donate trays of food, need people to help setup & serve.
Once again this is not something we are just doing as a troop. It is something that I personally want to do and felt many of you might want to get involved as well. This is open to everyone.
PLEASE email me if you want to help, whether making a tray of food or coming to setup and serve.
Any scouts in attendance will receive Double Service points towards Scout of the Month.
We will NOT be meeting tomorrow (Tuesday November 20th) at 430p, as the company buying the clothes will not be able to be there.
We WILL be meeting on Wednesday November 21st @ 430P to load up their truck.
I am sorry for the last minute change. I found out late this evening.
Ok this will be the last post that comes from me for a while. Phillip will be doing the majority of the posting going forward.
We are meeting at the church tomorrow at 5P. You can come dressed how you please as we are not traveling in uniform.
Here is what you will need:
Full Class A uniform
Class B Shirt
Sleeping Bag (2 people are going to share a bed)
Swim Trunks (this is NOT a joke, the hotel has an indoor pool)
Comfortable Footwear (we are going to be doing a lot of walking)
Any other weather appropriate clothing (should be in the 60’s while we are there)
We are set to return on Monday in and around 2P. We will likely have to spend about a half hour at the church loading the remainder of the clothes into a truck of the company which is buying them. (more info on this will come out once I have it)
Saturday we will see the city in Class A uniform, Sunday we will see the city in Class B Uniform with Scout pants/shorts.
I have a few surprises up my sleeve so be prepared to have a great time.
Email/Call/Text Mike with any questions.
I want to express my sincerest gratitude to EVERYONE who made our Sandy Relief Drive possible. This was a life changing experience, and I am so happy that I was able to share it with all of you.
PLEASE send me ANY and ALL pictures you may have taken during this as I am working on a video to highlight all the hard work.
I would like to especially thank Dawn Blaschick who actually had the idea for us to do this drive.
The efforts we all put forth is something we should all be proud of, as the lives of so many people have been changed due to all or your hard work.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to help others who need it most.
I hope you all have gotten as much out of this as I have.
Thursday will be our last day. We need EVERYONE to come out. We have multiple SHIPMENTS going out.
We will be there from 4p – 9p. First truck arrives at 430p
No Uniform required
See you all there. This has been a surreal experience and I am so happy to have shared it with all of you.
PLEASE Send me any pics you may have taken during this. I am making a video highlighting our work.
BE THERE!!!!!
Hi Everyone,
Today we need ALL THE HELP we can get. We are starting to wind down the drive and I have 4-8 trucks planned to come pick stuff up. We NEED EVERYONE that can come help to be at the church from 430p-830p.
I know a storm is coming, which is even more reason that we need to get these supplies out.
We have 5 gallons of gas which we can give someone with a large suv/van/truck that can provide transport for stuff to the rockaways. (LET ME KNOW)
Class B uniform shirt and whatever pants you want.
SEPARATELY:
1) We are still planning on going to DC (the gas situation seems to be easing up a bit). If anything changes we will post a notice here, otherwise assume we are going and nothing has changed.
2) If you are using money raised from the pies sales to pay for DC the forms need to be in today and you need to let me know that you want to do this.
Any questions see Mike.
