Wreath Pick-up

If anyone needs to pick up wreaths, I will be at St. Anastasia’s with Mrs. LaMarch at 9:00 tomorrow morning with a car full.

Also, because of the inclement weather today, our sales at the Tractor Supply Co. were pretty low (we only sold 31 wreaths). It would be extremely helpful if someone could ask the Bagel Shop near McDonald’s if we could sell our wreaths there as we have in previous years. We would also need someone to organize this.

Thanks again.

Tuesday Night

Troop 540,

Just a reminder for our troop fundraiser on Tuesday night at McDonald’s in Monroe. We are scheduled from 5:00-8:00pm to help with greeting people, bus tables and to help sweep up. We need 2-3 scouts for each shift/per hour. You can either head over to the troop meeting before or after your shift. Please encourage your families and friends to eat at McDonald’s that night to support our troop.

We have our second camping trip this weekend at Bullowa in Rockland county at the Cricketown campsite (see the map here for details). We will be getting a head count on how many leaders, parents and scouts will be attending. Also, we will need someone to transport the trailer. I will bring tents into the meet so that the scouts can practice setting up and taking down the tents again.

Updates

Troop 540,

We wrapped up out first overnight at Wabenaki.  I hope all of the scouts worked hard to get things signed off in their books this weekend and you all had fun. 

We will have our green barat 7pm to discuss how the overnight went.

 We have our Court of Honor this coming Tuesday at 7:30pm.  Don’t forget that1st class or lower, bring snacks and star or above bring drinks.

 We will need some volunteers to help out at our McDonald’s fundraiser on Route 17 M in Monroe (Stop & Shop Parking Lot) on Tuesday, October 14th from 5 – 8.

Basically all we need are a few boys for each shift (2-3)to greet people and bus tables and help sweep up.  Probably the older scouts could work the later shift and the younger scouts count attend the earlier shift, so they can get to the meeting.  We also need to encourage people to eat at McDonald’s that night.  We could also bring signs thanking customers for supporting our troop. 

Sincerely,

Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540
