DC Update

Posted on November 8, 2012 by [email protected]

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.

THANK YOU

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.

TODAY’s MUST READ INFO

Posted on November 7, 2012 by [email protected]

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.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED

Posted on November 2, 2012 by [email protected]

We are trying to get word out about our clothing/food/other stuff drive out. If everyone could help us make this go viral that would great. We ask that you do both of the following things:

1) Copy and Paste this email, and send to all of your contacts (Please also add jpg and pdf copy of the file):

Title: Scouts’ Sandy Relief Effort

body:Hello Everyone,

Hoping that you all made it through the storm safe and sound.

We have all watched the damage and devastation that Sandy has brought to our neighbors in Broad Channel, Breezy Point and the Rockaways and thought ‘Wow, I wish I could help but…’. Here’s your chance!

Boy Scout Pack & Troop106 based out of Trinity Lutheran are organizing a relief effort to benefit the families on the Rockaway Peninsula that lost everything to fires last weekend. Most of our communities weathered the storm fairly well and are in a good position to help those who need it the most. Please help me get the word out to all of your email and facebook contacts (Let’s go viral!). Donations can be brought to Trinity Lutheran Church (6370 Dry Harbor Road, Middle Village, NY 11379) this Sunday from 1-3 and every night next week from 6-8 pm. Attached is our flyer in pdf and jpg form.

Thanks in advance for all of your help,

BSA Pack & Troop 106

2) Logon to Facebook and upload the jpg of our flyer, then copy and paste the following note to go along with the picture:

An Opportunity to Help

Pack & Troop 106 will be running a drive to help those in the low-lying areas affected by the storm.

Here is what we will be doing:

On Saturday 11/3 we will be putting a flyer (see below) in every door in Middle Village (all hands on deck unless you have a prior commitment)

From Sunday 11/4 – Friday 11/9 we will have a table setup at Trinity for those who come by with donations. (signup sheet will be passed around on Friday)

One day after 11/9 (working on the details now) we will head to Rockaway/Breezy Point/Broad Channel to get everything to the people that need it.

The first eight words of the Scout Oath are:

On my honor, I will do my best

We are now going to live that Oath we repeat every week to help those that need it most.

If you have any questions reach out to Mike, See you all Friday.

Here is a copy of the flyer that will be going out: Sandy Drive

WE NEED 10,000 copies made, if anyone has a connection to a printer please let Mike know immediately.
