FUMC Playground Cleanup

I received a very hearty “Thank You” from Chris Ward to everyone that assisted with the cleanup of the FUMC Playground during our last meeting. Job well done!

Meeting Schedule

Monday, August 17^th –

Committee Meeting – This will be held at 6:00pm in the Scout Hut. All adult leaders and the SPL are invited. This is a critical meeting as we’ll begin to form our activity calendar for the new Scouting Year. Note: Updated draft calendars have been uploaded onto our website.

Board of Review candidates need to arrive at 6:30pm in full Class A Uniform.

Troop Meeting – We will meet at 7:00pm for our regular meeting. Please bring your books so that we may work or sign-off on activities.

Foosball Table Donation – I’m still working on the disassembly of the table so that we may move it into the Hut. I will bring a thank you card to our meeting on the 17^th for everyone to sign.

Upcoming Activities

Illinois River Float Trip – Scheduled for September 19-20. Anna Hawks has agreed to be the Scoutmaster in Charge, but I believe we still need a second adult. We will also most likely be joined by the Perkin’s Troop as they need this trip to complete a merit badge. A permission slip is posted on the Website and was handed out last week. Please get these slips in early so that we may get counts to reserve the kayaks.

Popcorn Sales – I have a tentative date of September 21^st as the start date for popcorn sales. This will be confirmed as we kick off our new year. Begin warning friends and family that you’ll be coming around as this is our one funds gathering initiative that supports our Council and your camping adventures.

OA Fall Fellowship – I have tentative dates of September 25-27 for the fellowship and ordeal.
