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!

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
