District Note: OA Christmas Trees (Tuesday, November 18, 2008)
TO PIEDMONT DISTRICT SCOUTERS:
The holidays are just around the corner. For many, this means the gathering of friends and family for parties, dinners, and banquets where a point of focus is a nicely decorated Christmas tree. However, the economy is not doing so well right now and many people are having to cut back on their holiday spending and are concerned about the growing cost of purchasing a Christmas tree. Boy, do we have a deal for you...
The Wahissa Lodge of the Order of the Arrow is having a Christmas tree sale!
“This is a great opportunity for our Lodge and our Arrowmen are excited about raising additional funds for the building of the Wesley K. Morgan Maintenance Facility at Camp Raven Knob,” said Paul Isaacson, the Wahissa Lodge Chief.
The trees go on sale the day after Thanksgiving at various locations throughout the council with the main one being right here in Winston-Salem at the Old Hickory Council office on Silas Creek Parkway. Save money, decorate for the holidays, and support the OA and Camp Raven Knob - all at one time! Details are in the attached file.

Fw: District Note: Round Table / Annual Banquet (Thursday, November 13, 2008)
I had a catastrophic issue with my desktop late yesterday and lost a lot of my personal files. I am sending this email using an old copy of my distribution list, so I apologize if you are receiving this after requesting your name be removed from the distribution. Also, any recent additions to the list will not receive this email, so please forward to you co-scouters.
TO PIEDMONT DISTRICT SCOUTERS:

The Cub Scout program will be "Holiday Lights" and they will demonstrate various Christmas and Holiday activities for Cub Scouts.

Our District Awards Banquet is just 3 weeks from this Thursday on December 4 at New Hope UMC on Shattalon. Austin Caviness will be our MC and the Men's Cook Crew will be preparing a Thanksgiving Feast for the low cost of only $10 per person. The fee will also go toward covering the numerous awards that will be presented. Tickets will be available at the Round Table as well as the council office.
Speaking of awards, none will be given unless people are nominated to receive them! Last year, we did not present a Shouse Award as there was not one single Cub Scout nominated to receive it. Don't let that happen again. Nominations must be turned in by RT this Thursday. Forms are available at the council office and the key ones are attached to this email. Print them out, fill them out, and turn them in!!!

District Note: Centennial Quality Unit Awards (Wednesday, November 12, 2008)
TO PIEDMONT DISTRICT SCOUTERS:
We are in the process of collecting the 2008 Achievement forms for this year. We are also collecting the 2009 Commitment/Achievement forms at the same time. We are trying to make this as easy as possible for you to do so that your unit (Pack, Troop, Crew, or Ship) can qualify for the award. But they can't qualify if you don't submit the forms!
You may access these forms on our District page (click on the link below):
http://www.oldhickorycouncil.org/piedmont.html
If those links do not work, you can also get to them via the following links:
2008 Form 2009 Form
Once you open these forms, you may type in your data, save to your local PC, and electronically sign if you wish (this will allow you to easily e-mail it back to us).
If you turned in a form earlier this year, please remember that you only completed the Commitment column; we now need you to complete the Achievement column (located on the same form). Simply use your copy and complete the form. Once it has been completed, sign it and then you may e-mail it back to us or fax it to the Scout Office at 760-4222.
Attached to this email is a copy of the Laymen's version of the instructions that we distributed last year. Some found them helpful.
Now get to work and submit your forms!

To clarify the message I sent earlier, help is actually needed on all 3 days: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Thursday and Friday were singled out in the earlier email as that is when a lot of people are at work and unavailable and they thus need the most help those two days.
The specific times are as follows:
Thursday: 1 - 5 PM
Friday: 8 AM - 8 PM
Saturday: 8 AM - 12 PM (noon)
Please come out and help if you can!
