TODAY’s MUST READ INFO

Posted on by

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.

I need ANY and EVERYONE that can to be at the church at 230p today. We may be getting 2 uhaul sized trucks (still waiting on the confirmation, but they are working now on getting gas to come to us). PLUS I have other arrangements for transport throughout the day.

You are have gone above and beyond during this tough time and it makes me so happy to have a 106 on my uniform. We do amazing things and its all possible because of YOU!!!

It will be 230p-730p (we will be out of the church no later than 8P)

Class B uniform shirts and whatever pants you want.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

With the help of Order of the Arrow Suanhacky Lodge #49 (they let us use their paypal account as it take a while to set one up), we are NOW accepting financial donations for our Sandy Relief Drive.

100% of the money donated goes to those affected, allowing us to buy the things that they need the most. With some of the donations made yesterday we were able to purchase: 85 pairs of thermal socks, 192 pairs of gloves, and hundreds of batteries.

All of your HELP is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance. Kindly click one of the donations links below to give some IMMEDIATE assistance to those who need it most.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED

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:

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.

Service Opportunity Today

Hopefully everyone is ok, if anyone needs anything please call me. We lost tv and Internet (posting this from my phone) here but still have power.

Today is a great opportunity for everyone to do service to help others. I am not going to call everyone together as a collective group as the roads are still an issue in many areas.

Any scout who does service today to help others (not at your own house) will receive TRIPLE points towards scout of the month. So that means if you do 3-5 hours you will get 75 points and 6-8 will get 150 points. Since a scout is trustworthy this will all be on the honor system, but please take pictures so we can post them on the site.

As I said earlier. PLEASE reach out to me if there is anything you need.
