Boy Scout Troop 1001

Hello all Scouts and Scouters,

It has been a wonderful Spring; our calendars almost say May. Monday night, May 4 will be a combined Parents' meeting and scout meeting. The topics will be the upcoming Lexington trip to Corpus Christi on May 22-25, 2009 and Summer Camp the week of June 7-13, 2009 at the Hale Scout Reservation near Talihina, Oklahoma.

All scouts and parents of scouts attending either of these activities should plan to attend Monday night's meeting.

All monies or scout show cards should be turned in to Mr. Saverline at this time. If you have not yet turned in your money, please do so by this weekend.

This weekend is our semiannual Cottonwood fundraiser. We would like a minimum of eight adult volunteer hours per family. There is a lot to do on Friday all day as well as Sunday after 5:30pm by helping the artists load in and out. In between those times there is booth sitting, water sales and other ways to be of service. Not to mention getting the family out to see some fascinating art and hear some great music in the park.

Our Adult Quartermaster, Mr. Roberts, lost his mother recently. We send our prayers and sympathy to his family during this time of transition. Anyone who would like to make a memorial donation in his mother's honor please do so by check made out to Troop 1001 and give it to our Treasurer, Mr. Watts. We will be forwarding it to the Our Daily Bread ministry in Enid, Oklahoma.

I look forward to seeing you all at TBC Monday night.

Yours in Scouting,
Scoutmaster Coon
