Help needed for Eagle project

Scouts, Troop Leaders and Troop Parents,

I am currently working on my Eagle Project at the First Presbyterian Church.  My project involves renovating the area behind the troop sheds.  This is going to involve several work days and a lot work.  First, we will be moving the troop sheds onto the pavement and facing them across the parking lot.  Second, we will be cleaning and clearing miscellaneous items (cement, cement block, old wood, old pallets, grass piles and logs) from the area.  Next, a few trees will need to be removed.  Followed by installing a privacy fence being built along the south side and 2 shrub fences being placed along the east and west side of the area.  The last step will involve inserting a firepit and concrete benches in the center.  This project will allow the church to make this space into a useable area for not only church activities but also for scouting activities.  I will be needing to schedule many workdays to make this project happen.  The first two are listed below. Reminder -- You will get service hours for any time donated.  If you would like to sign up let me know, I will also have a sign up sheet at next Tuesday's Troop meeting.  I appreciate your consideration and support. 

• Saturday, October 5th -- Noon to 6:00 PM -- We will be moving sheds on this day.  This is going to require roughly 12 scouts and 6-8 adults.  (FYI --- Buckeye game is not on until 8:00 PM).  We will be emptying the sheds in order to move them, we will move them and then be refilling the sheds.  If you sign up for this day, please wear long pants/shirts, hats and closed toed shoes.  Please also bring some gloves.  Drinks, food and snacks will be provided.  We may also begin work on clearing out some of the debris on this day.
• Sunday, October 6th -- 1:00 - 5:00 PM -- We will be cleaning out debris (cement blocks, old logs, grass piles, cement, etc.)  This workday is going to require roughly 8 scouts and 4 adults.  If you sign up for this day, please wear long pants/shirts, hats and closed toed shoes.  Please also bring some gloves.  Drinks, food and snacks will be provided.

Thanks,

Andy Price

Honor Flight update

Parents and Scouts [Webelos too]

An update to this weekend’s trip to Honor Flight trip....

I spoke to the folks at Honor Flight and they said that they would like us to be at the baggage claim area AT 8:45.  So with that information, Please plan to meet at the church at 8:05 and we will leave by 8:15 PM.

Please be in class A uniform.  If you would like to write some notes to the veterans thanking them for their service that would be great.

Hope to see LOTS of us be able to show up and support our Vets on their return from DC.

Thanks,

Hog Roast and Tag Sale help needed

Parents and Scouts:

Our Hog Roast  & Tag Sale is only 2 days from go time! 

The Hog is ordered, the supplies are mostly picked up,  Just a few last minute details...

1. We have a need for desserts!  If you can bake [or buy] 1-2 dozen cookies or brownies [a cake or pie?] and have them for us to use for deserts to serve for the meals during our Hog Roast that would be great!  Please have these to the kitchen either Friday night or by 9:00 am on Saturday morning.  We will put them onto small plates to serve.  If you bring them on a dish that you want back please have your name on the dish so we can get it back to you.

2. Here is the sign-up sheet as it stands today.  We still have some open spots for both the Tag Sale and the Hog Roast.  Scouts and Parents both can still sign up – especially at our closing / clean-up times.  Please see where you can plug in and we can then make this successful for everyone.

3. For those helping carry the large American Flag in the Parade – Please be in CLASS A uniform!  We will meet up at the corner of Southwest Blvd and Broadway [in the CVS parking lot] by 8:30 am Saturday morning.  If you are working at the church earlier and need a ride to the parade start I can help you with that.

Any questions – let me know.  Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,
