Troop 919 Notes 2-8-2010
Scouting for Food - We will be meeting at the Scout Hut at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning (Feb. 13) for the bag delivery portion of our Scouting for Food Good Turn Project.
Parents and Leaders: We will need a few extra drivers for this project, especially those who can devote a few hours on both the delivery and pickup days (Feb. 13 and Feb. 20).
Mr. Brewer will have a sign-up sheet at Tuesday’s meeting for this project. Be sure to ask your parents if they can help out with the driving.
We will also meet at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 20 to return to the houses to pick up the bags of food our neighbors will have left on their porches!
Thanks for Bill Brewer for coordinating this important project.
