Mike wants to introduce all of you to Cooper Maverick Schulte, who was born today @ 7lbs. 8oz.

We are happy to announce that Anthony Zalak has accepted the role of acting Scoutmaster in Mike’s absence. Anthony has been involved with 106 for over 25 years and often served as Gordon’s (previous scoutmaster) right hand.

Mike will be at tonights meeting, and then is expecting to be away for about a month, with an expected to return of Feb 26. He is more than happy to receive texts and emails in his absence.

Thank you Anthony for stepping up, we are so happy to see such a strong Troop 106 family.

If you are going on the Winter-ree the payment is due by this Friday’s meeting.

Any questions direct to Mike.

There are a few very important things for tonight:

1) There is NO committee meeting or TLC meeting tonight

2) The Winter-Ree Camping Trip is the last weekend of the month (Jan 29-31) at Camp Alpine. The cost of the trip is $25. We will start collecting money tonight. Deadline to sign up and pay is at next weeks meeting. Mike will not be attending this trip, Anthony Z. & John M. will be the leaders in charge.

3) Tonight will be the LAST night that you can order a new troop hoodie. Orders must be accompanied by a payment. They are $30/each. Sizes XS – 3X. We will be placing the order this weekend and expect to have them in the next few weeks.

Any questions direct to Mike

If you want to order a hoodie, we have extended the date you can order and pay for one until Jan 1. After the 1st we will be putting in the order with the printer.

They come in sizes XS-3X, Hoodies are $30/each

This coming Friday is our annual Holiday Party, and there is a bunch of info we need to get to you:

• This is open to all families including siblings.
• We ask that each family brings a dish from their culture, along with a drink (soda, juice, water). We will break bread as a family after some fun and games.
• There will be 2 Secret Santa’s this year (One for the youth and one for the adults). Youth (including siblings) bring a wrapped gift of no more than $15 in value. Adults bring a wrapped gift of no more than $20 in value. Participation is voluntary
• The scouts will be receiving a gift from the troop this year, so if you are bringing a sibling and don’t want them to be left out, bring them a gift as well.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Can every scout please bring a Christmas card and a stamp. We will be sending cards to a girl in need, her story is in the link below.

Reminder: There will be a Committee Meeting Friday, 12/12 at 7 pm

All parents, adult leaders and committee members are welcome and encouraged to attend. We are in need of a few adult elves to help us wrap some gifts.

Troop 106 Agenda for 12/12/2015

• Wrapping Party
• Renovation Contingency Plan

• Christmas Pie Orders — Due 12/18

• Recap Art Night
• Recap Wreath Fundraiser
• Class B Polos – Last Call

If you are currently a chairperson but are unable to attend, please reach out to our Chairman, Pat at [email protected] or Dawn at [email protected] before Friday.

Due to the fact that we still have some wreaths left, we will have one more selling shift.

If you did not complete a selling shift last weekend, we expect you to be there this Saturday @ Met Food from 12-4 (or until we are sold out). Also, if we could get some other scouts to volunteer to help that would be great as well.

Any questions direct to Mike.

As you may know Mike co-chairs the charitable arm of the company he works for (Citi Habitats). They are doing a drive in conjunction with JCCA (Jewish Child Card Association) to help the population they serve.

So far his social network & Troop 106 family has sponsored 36 kids. We have 4 left to get to our goal of 40 this holiday season.

The way it works is simple, we ask that you pick at least one of the gifts they request and spend a minimum of $50. We must receive the gifts no later than Dec 21.

If you want to sponsor a kid or two, please reach out to Mike

Thank you in advance
