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

Brandon’s Eagle Project

Hi all!

I’m going to be starting my Eagle Project for the Veterans Memorial in Harriman this upcoming weekend, Saturday, May 21, and Sunday, May 22, between 9:30 and 10:00am.

I’m looking for scouts to volunteer their time to help me, so please contact me with a yay or nay so I have a good idea of how many scouts plan on helping out.

If possible please bring a shovel and work gloves.

Thank you!

9/11 Memorial

Troop 540,

We have been asked by the Monroe Police Department to help out with the 9/11 Memorial service that takes place at the 9/11 Memorial by the lakes. We would need to show up at 6:30pm on Friday, September 11th to help hand out candles, light the candles, present colors, recite the pledge of allegiance to the flag and help to clean up after the service.

Please let me know if you are available to volunteer for this.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540

Andrew’s Eagle Project – Saturday , June 6th

Hi everyone.

As you all know I will be starting my Eagle Project this weekend. It will be at the American Legion Post 488 on Lakes Road.

Wear old clothes if you plan on coming. I will be starting at 8:00am and leaving by 4:00pm because they have the hall rented out at 5:00pm. If you want to bring paint brushes and rollers you can, we will be staining the exterior of the sun room. If anyone has an extension ladder to bring that would be great.

Hope to see you guys there, what ever time you can make it even if 1 hour would be a great help. Thanks!

Jack Furmanek’s Eagle Scout Project – Tomorrow, May 30, 2015 at Museum Village

Hi everyone.

Just a reminder that I’ll be doing my Eagle Scout Project tomorrow at Museum Village, 1010 State Route 17M, Monroe, beginning at 8:00am. I can sure use your help. Any amount of time that you can give tomorrow to lend a hand will be greatly appreciated.

We’ll be removing vegetation, sawing down an old fence, repairing some wood siding, and painting the exterior of the Broommaker’s Shop. If you go through the main gate of Museum Village, the shop is located on the far side of the village on the right.

Please bring some water and sunscreen, and an old hat to keep paint out of your hair. Gloves will be provided. Pizza will be served for lunch, and snacks and drinks will also be available.

We’re going to work tomorrow as long as we can, to get as much done as we can. We will also be working on Sunday as well, weather permitting. Hope you can come out and help. Parents are also welcome to help as well.

Please email me back to let me know if you are coming, so we can get an idea of how much snacks, drinks and pizza to get.

See you tomorrow.
