Because we know that many of you are traveling for the holiday, Wednesday's Boy Scout meeting will be short. If you have wreaths to deliver, please pick them up at Jeff’s, if you have popcorn to deliver (Ashley and Beyer) please pick up popcorn at the meeting. We will discuss the upcoming the Santa parade.
We wish you all a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
Teresa Sharkey is in charge of the parade on Friday, December 6, 2013. Meet 5:30 to line up at the Northern Energy on South Indiana St (parking lot) The parade will begin at 6:00 p.m. The parade runs Indiana Street North to Main then East on Main and ends at the Pavilion.
Dress for the weather!!! Wear your boy scout uniform and warm jacket. Feel free to wear a festive Santa hat if you wish.
Wreath's can be picked up after 3pm today at Jeff Proux's home, 136 Brentwood, Gaylord.
There will be no tree sales this year. Efforts were put forth to buy a small number of trees but there was no economical way to do it. We appreciate the people who signed up to sell trees, but still we did not have the shifts covered.
The popcorn for Take Home orders will be picked up from council on Friday evening (11/22/13). If you would like your popcorn to distribute for the weekend, please contact Julia Bushong, jbushonghome@charter.net
In addition, another table will be scheduled to sell popcorn. Please put your name and dates available on our Facebook page if you are interested in selling it for your scout to earn the profit. I will make some calls to set up a table ASAP. If you want to purchase popcorn, leave a comment on Facebook, or contact Julia Bushong at jbushonghome@charter.net

There were a large group of parents in attendance at the scout meeting tonight. After much thought, it was decided to go ahead with the tree lot fundraiser. This fundraiser has been the main source of financing the troop in the past. The decision was made to order 150 trees (less than last year) and we hope to sell them within the first two weeks of Christmas tree sales.
Here is the signup sheet for parents and scouts to work the tree lot. Please sign up for 3 shifts. If the trees do not sell in the first 2 weeks, the spreadsheet will be modified to include more time.

Today is the day! Get your wreath and popcorn orders in at the scout meeting tonight! Contact Jeff regarding wreaths, and Julia regarding popcorn. Messages can be left on Facebook and they will be forwarded to the appropriate person. Orders must be brought to the meeting tonight or other arrangements need to be made immediately if you cannot come to the scout meeting. :)
All wreath orders are due on November 6. Please have all paperwork ready to turn in to Jeff Proux at the scout meeting.
All popcorn take home orders are due on Wednesday, November 6. The order must be placed on November 8.
If you are exceeding $650 in sales, let me know so I can register you for drawings. There will be no prizes for sales, but the 33% profit (instead of 30%).
If you have filled 1 order form let me know so I can put you in the drawing for that accomplishment.
