Movie opportunity in TC

Hello Everyone and Merry Christmas!

We have room for more Scouts, Families, and Friends to attend our special showing of Coco tomorrow, Saturday, December 23, 2017. I have seen the movie and it is wonderful. If I was a movie critic, I would give it 5 stars!

We will be giving out some prizes before the movie which starts at 10:30AM at the Cherry Blossom Theatre in Traverse City. Tickets are $10, but a current Scout can bring a friend that might be interested in Scouting and the Scout and friend can go for free! Just show between 10AM and 10:20AM and enjoy.

If you want to fill out the information at the links below you can but you do not have to, just show up!

Dear Scouting Family,

Scouting is the best leadership building program in the world and it is fun for your son and his friends! I think we would all agree that we wish there were more kids in Scouting. That is where you can help!

During this Christmas Season why not give the Gift of Scouting to one of your son’s friends.Introduce a friend to Scouting and your son and his friend can go to Coco or Star Wars: The Last Jedifor free!

All you need to do is invite a friend to the movie, talk to the family about possibly joining Scouting, and have them fill out an interest survey online.That is it! After that it is up to them to decide and your son and his friend can go to the movie for free.

Here is the information, the link to the interest survey, and even an email you can send to a friend’s family:

Dear Friend,

How would you like to go to the movie Coco or The Last Jedi with me for free? All you and your parents need to do is agree to check out information on the Scouting program that I am part of and decide if you want to give it a try or not. I have lots of fun doing many things with boys my age. We learn new skills, earn awards, play games, hike, swim, camp, and do many other fun things. Here is a website you and your family can check out: https://beascout.scouting.org/

Here are the dates of the movie events where you will also get some information on Scouting.

Committee meeting tonight

It’s that time! A committee meeting for planning upcoming events! I have not heard from our Committee Chair Ken but we will hold our regularly scheduled meeting at Bagley hall. Tonight at 6pm for the boys and 7pm for the adults hope to see you there.

Pick up your wreaths!

Hi Everyone!

I still have wreaths for a couple of boys. They really need to be picked up so you can deliver them. I will be home again tomorrow between 5 and 7. If you cannot make it in this time, please get in touch with me. My phone number is 252 503-1442 (call or text) email is rhaus123@gmail.com. 

Wreaths will not be at the meetings- we have family commitments the next several Wednesdays that will be keeping us away. 

Now that the remaining wreaths have been sorted, we have the following wreaths left over:

1 - 22" Balsam 

1 - 27" Balsam

1 - 30" Douglas 

These are not extras- someone is missing wreaths. I'm sorry for this mix-up, I can only guess it happened with the tied bunches. If you discover you are missing one of these items, please let me know and I will find a way to get it to you.

Money for the wreaths can be turned in directly to Mr. Reynolds.

Reminders!

Reminders! 

Wreath pickup tonight from 6-8 at the Hauswirth’s. Please pick up your wreaths tonight!

Popcorn sales opportunity! 2 time slots for Saturday to sell at Tractor Supply.  10 - 12 and 4 - 6. If anyone is interested please call or text or email me.

Wreaths are available for pickup!

Everyone, the wreaths are in and were available to be picked up tonight but Rachel still has most of them in her garage. She is home between 11 and 4 during the week but if you want to stop by during the day you need to call first to make sure she is available. Otherwise her next available evening is Thursday from 6-8.

Please pick up your wreaths this week! 

Wreaths are here!

Wreaths are here! This weekend I will be sorting them out and finishing bows. Everything will be ready to pick up on Monday. If those with wreath orders could pick them up from my garage Monday evening between 4 and 9, I would very much appreciate it. If you cannot make it during this time, please contact me either via a phone call or text at (252) 503-1442, or email at rhaus123@gmail.com. I am usually home so I am flexible on times. If you would like to help sort wreaths or help me finish making bows, that is what I will be doing Sunday afternoon.

To get to my house: 

First, it's the same place as the Campoween and the summer campout. If you were not at either of those events, these are the directions

Take M-32 west toward Elmira. After the 4 lane passing section, turn right on Hallock Rd. After approximately 3/4 of a mile, turn left on Parmater Rd. We are the second driveway on the left, right before the seasonal road sign.

For those who prefer to plug an address into a GPS, my address is 5175 Parmater Rd, Gaylord. Just make sure it takes you west, not east. If it says East, try using Elmira as the town instead of Gaylord. 

Thank you!
