Get Them While They Are Hot

Soon it will be THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

The tree sales schedule will be available at the next troop meeting. Don't miss out on your opportunity to sign up early and sign up often.

Several Scout Families have already replied by email to secure dates and times. troop1.gaylord@gmail.com

Weeknight shifts are for two hours between 4:30pm and 7:30pm. Work and family schedules allow for a 3 hour time slot but each family works the two hours that fits their schedule. If you need to start earlier on a week day, we are flexible at the Tree Lot.

Weekend shifts are two hour blocks and are going fast. The ten to noon and noon to two slots have been very popular with the early sign ups.

I hope to see everyone at the meeting on Wednesday.
Mr. Neff, Tree Sales Coordinator.

Boys Life October 2007

Donald’s Review Boys Life October 2007
Cool Wheels
I was reading this article and I saw a lot of cool cars like the Lamborghini Murcielago – LP640. It has a 6.5 liter V12 engine (640 horsepower), it roars at a top speed of 210mph, and hits 62 in 3.4 seconds. This car sells for about $350,000.

Also saw the Jaguar C-XF, it has a six speed 4.2 liter V8 (420 horsepower) engine, this is a concept car for techno innovation. It has dual view screen for driver (GPS) and passenger DVD’s plus much more. This car sells for most likely a pretty penny if it makes it to the showroom floor.

The Dodge Viper SRT10 also appears in this article. It sports a 8.4 liter V10, gets 560 pound feet of torque, and goes 0 – 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. The car costs $83,145 base price.

The Chevrolet Volt is an electric car that you can plug into your house and is good for 40 miles on a full charge. Runs on GM’s E-Flex Propulsion System, which can charge the battery from a 1.0 liter 3 cylinder turbo engine/ethanol gasoline blend.

The BMW Hydrogen 7 is the first hydrogen powered everyday luxury performance vehicle. The engine, a spin off from the 7 series 12 cylinder, runs on gasoline or liquid hydrogen (not fuel cell). Engine power is 260 horses and torque stays the same as you switch fuels with the push of a button. Why it’s cool: green is good. Only selected VIP drivers can purchase.
