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.

 

Congratulations

I would like to congratulate Jose on a job extremely well done.

Last month when (before Sandy) we released the information about the canned food drive we were doing Jose thought it would be a good idea to use the flyers to bring in cans. What he did next was above and beyond what was expected.

He spent 4 hours walking up and down Metro in uniform handing out flyers and asking for donations. All in all he collected 118 items of food and $212.35

Upon speaking to him a few days ago, he thought that using the money to help Sandy Victims would have been best. With the help of one of the connections we made during our drive, we found out there was a need for blankets in the Canarsie area.

Because of his hard work, we were able to purchase 35 blankets which will help keep people warm in an area where power still hasn’t been totally restored, and had money left over.

Great Job Jose. You made a difference in 35 people’s lives, which is something you should be very proud of.

Important Reminders

1)This is a reminder that tonight’s meeting will be Class B shirts and whatever bottoms you wish
2)Pies will be in on Monday, All orders will need to be picked up Monday night from 730p-9p at Saint Adalbert’s (5217 83rd Street  Elmhurst, NY 11373). The Troop & Pack’s order are being picked up my Mike & Henry and they have an Order of the Arrow Meeting that night, hence why the pickup location isn’t at Trinity. We DO NOT have refrigerated storage for the pies, so please make sure you pick them up Monday night.
Any questions or concerns direct to Mike

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.

LAST DAY! CALLING EVERYONE IN!
