District Note: RECHARTER DEADLINE / New Web Pages / Service Opportunity (Friday, March 28, 2008)

TO PIEDMONT DISTRICT SCOUTERS:

MONDAY DEADLINE FOR RECHARTERING ON TIME
Do you want your unit to have a chance for being recognized as a Centennial Quality Unit for 2008?  Then you MUST have your unit recharter in on time, and Monday is the absolute deadline.  To be counted as rechartering on time, your charter must absolutely be turned in by March 31.  Michael and Dominique are both willing, able, and available to provide assistance if you need help.

Even if you did an online recharter, it is not complete and "in" until the paperwork with the required signatures are "in."  So, don't be late!

NEW WEB SITES
We now have a new Council and a new Piedmont District web site and both can be accessed with the same URL - a new site but the same as always link for the Old Hickory Council:  http://www.oldhickorycouncil.org/.

Place your pointer over "MY LOCAL DISTRICT" and then slide it down and click on "PIEDMONT" to get to our District page.  Information is (and will be) current and helpful.  Check it out!

SERVICE OPPORTUNITY
Here is an opportunity to be part of an exciting,  premier professional
sporting event here in Winston-Salem: The USA v. France Davis Cup Tennis Match
April 11-13.

The Boy Scouts have been asked to present the colors of the 50 nations that
compete in the Davis Cup as part of the opening ceremonies on Saturday morning
April 12th. Team USA (Andy Roddick, James Blake and the Bryan brothers) will
take on the Team France (Tsonga and Gasquet) in the Davis Cup Quarter Finals at
a sold out Joel Coliseum. For the first time in the history of the Davis Cup, a
city (our city of Winston-Salem) is hosting matches two years in a row. The Boy
Scouts represented themselves and Winston-Salem very well last year, and we
hope to put together an even better presentation this year!

This project calls for 50 Scouts to participate and there is also the need for
5 adult leaders. Scouts will need to dress in full Class A uniform. The adults,
not scouts, will have a "walk through" on Thursday evening April 10th. While a
scout is always Helpful and never expects to benefit from a good turn,
participating scouts and adults will be treated to terrific eats and drinks
after the ceremony.  
 
Dr. Scott Washburn from Troop 919 is coordinating this event and needs your help.

Leaders, ask your Scouts to volunteer for this project and then contact Dr.
Washburn with your unit info by Tuesday, April 8th.
