Eagle Project Nov 9th

Dear scouts of troop 136,

Thank you everyone who already signed up for my eagle project last night!  A couple people asked me where it was at exactly, so here is a link for the Google maps with the address of the Hilltop YMCA.   For those of you who don't know, my eagle project will be on November 9th from 9:00 A.M.  It will involve painting, weeding, and picking up trash, so wear clothes that you are willing to get dirty.  Lunch will be provided.  You will need gloves, a garden shovel if you have one, and a water bottle.

If you would still like to sign up or have questions, please contact me or notify me at next week's meeting

Thank you all,

Seth Corlett

Eagle Project Sunday 1 PM - 5 PM

All,

Thank you very much for your willingness to help me with my Eagle Scout Project.  The next scheduled workday is this Sunday, October 27th from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM.  Several of you signed up on Tuesday, but I appreciate any and all help, even if you didn't get a chance to sign up or was not at the meeting on Tuesday or even if you just have an hour to help, I can use your assistance.  This week, we will be removing trees and finishing the staining of the fences.  You will want to wear old clothes.  Adults -  If you have a chainsaw or tree trimmers, please consider bringing them.   

I know this is a large project, but the church and troop will directly benefit from our efforts.  Reminder --- all time volunteered will count as service hours.  I have already turned in service hours for the first two workdays to Kirk, so your time will be up to date. 

Talita's on Broadway has provided this week's food -- Sloppy Joes, baked beans, potato salad, plus some fruit/treats and my mom is also making macaroni and cheese too! 

Thanks for all of your help, I couldn't do this without you!
