End of the Year BBQ & Court of Honor

Troop 540,

We will be having our end of year BBQ and Court of Honor next Tuesday, June 7, 2016, at The American Legion Hall on Lakes Rd., under the pavilion, starting at 6:30pm.

  • The Sheas are picking up the burgers and hotdogs.
  • The Hess family will bring hot wings and soda.

We are asking each family to bring a dish of food and a drink. Please respond back to “all” in this email with what you are bringing. This way we will avoid any duplications.

See you all next Tuesday!

Thanks.

July 2nd Fundraiser

Troop 540,

Who is available (scouts & parents) to help out with the July 2nd fundraiser at the lakes in Monroe for the fireworks display? This is on a Saturday.

We usually run two-hour shifts. It would be nice to see some of the other parents at this event as it can’t always be the same group doing all of the work. Please consider helping out this year.

The proceeds go to funding all of the troop activities for the year and we could really use the help.

Please get back to me by next week on whether on not you could help out.

Thanks,

Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540
