Troop 106 will be having its First Annual “Help the Needy Food Drive”. Any canned food and non-perishable items can be donated.

Each Scout is required to collect at least 25 cans of food. For each 2 cans over 25 the scout will receive 1 extra point towards Scout of the Month. We have a goal of 1500 cans of food.

We are working with Catholic Charities which has a food panty in Astoria where some of the food will be donated & The Soup Kitchen Rein Olvet runs. All cans must be in by November 9th.

Mike has set a personal goal of 250 cans and has a special prize if any scout can collect more than him. Any questions can be directed to Mike.

Documents which can be used to help collect will be posted soon.

Service Opportunity for scouts not going to TMR

The Pathfinder District has on many occasions requested to use space at the Onderdonk-House in Flushing for meetings and events. They have supported us admirably.

They now have a need and hopefully we can accommodate. On this coming Sunday they are in need of help with their Harvest Festival. Normally they have plenty of hands to help with the pumpkins and face painting etc.

This year not enough volunteers have come forward. They will have about 500 children rushing to participate. Many hands make for light work.

We are asking if any of our scouting family can find the time to help with this worthwhile community event. It will take place from 12 noon to 4pm. If you have any time to give it would be appreciated.

If you can contact Rein Olvet at 718-894-6636 ahead of time that would be great or if you find the time at the last moment just come on down. Older scouts or adults would be appreciated. Even if you are not a scouter they can use your help.

Any scout attending will receive points towards Scout of the Month.
