Reminders for Tonight

1) It is our annual Holiday Party. Everyone is invited. We ask that you bring a dish/tray from your culture as we will be enjoying a varied dinner together

2)  We have 10 wreaths left to sell, and we need your help. Can you all please reach out to your friends and family and help us sell these last 10. They are great to take the cemetery (selling pitch 😉 ). They will be at the meeting tonight. PLEASE help us sell out tonight. If you haven’t purchased the required 3, please do so tonight (otherwise you will be billed).

3) No Uniforms.

4) If scouts want to participate in the Secret Santa please bring a wrapped gift of no more than $15 in value

5) SIGN UP & PAY for Blue Mountain, Due to not so great pre-registration, we are opening the registration to everyone, starting at 7P.  45 max, and we only have beds for 30, so the next 15 will have to sleep on the floor in the cabin.

6) There will be a TLC meeting tonight after the party.

Any questions direct to Mike.

Camping Trip Update – Philly & Blue Mountain

1) NO uniforms for Philly, bring a class B if you would like.

2) Blue Mountain has been reserved from Friday Jan 16 – Monday Jan 19. We have to institute a limit as to how many people can go due to the size of space. We are putting the maximum number of attendees at 45.

The trip will be $40, and this is how sign up with go:
Sign up is now open – but its a tiered system and the backup list is on a first come first serve basis

All scouts who did a wreath selling shift are guaranteed a spot, but that spot is only guaranteed if they pay on Friday Dec 19. Also the assistant scoutmasters, scoutmaster & select active adults will be guaranteed a spot as well. If a scout or approved leader does NOT pay on Dec 19 then they run the risk of not being able to go on the trip.

Those who failed to do a selling shift, and didn’t let me know why they couldn’t before hand will go on the wait list with additional adults. Any additional adults that want to go (ie. fathers, past scouts, etc.) will go on the waiting list, which will open at 8p on Dec 19. At that point we will go through the list in order and give the opportunity to those people to pay and therefore reserve their spot.

Once we hit 45 people the trip is closed. Period.

Any questions direct to Mike.

While they last, Wreath Sale

Due to bad weather on Saturday we have about 50 wreaths left. So effective immediately we will do the following:

1) Wreaths will now be priced at 2 for $25. If someone wanted just 1 it would be $15.

2) Scouts receive $1/wreath for every wreath they sell (must sell at least 5, no longer 10), until we sell out. This gives you guys the opportunity to raise some extra money easily.

The wreaths are at John Mohr’s. Email me for his address.

Feel free to SHARE this new sale. We need to get these last ones sold.

Thanks for your help.
