Troop 14 News and Events - Jan 19 2010
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
After a short hiatus, the email blasts resume....
For those of us who participated in the holiday ribbons setup and takedown, our efforts was met (mostly) with appreciation and the generosity of our friends and neighbors added approximately $500 to our troop outing funds. These funds help pay for supplies and equipment as well as provide funding for scholarships.
Many thanks to Brian and Lisa M for their efforts in last Monday's meeting - the first of two scheduled for scouts wishing to earn the Family Life merit badge. In case you missed out on last Monday's meeting because "it was a holiday" - we meet every Monday except the ones between christmas and New Years. Not to worry - Brian and Lisa will be at it again going over Family Life on Jan 25. Those of you who started the worksheet, be sure to bring it back on Monday. Those of you who need it and missed on Monday, there's still time to catch up.
