PLEASE SIGN UP - Patriots Day Flags In - 9/16

Posted on Sep 14 2017 - 1:26pm
We need help retrieving the flags we put out last weekend.  Please sign up using the link below to help:
 
 
Patriot Day (National Day of Service & Remembrance) is just around the corner and the young men of Troop 1001 have committed to help the Canyon Creek Homeowners Association (CCHA) remember and honor those that were killed and injured on September 11, 2001 by placing flags throughout the troop's assigned portion of the Canyon Creek neighborhood.  So, in the spirit of remembrance, service and patriotism, I look forward to the scouts of Troop 1001 meeting their commitment to CCHA.
 
Besides providing a valued service to the community, this is a key fund raising event for the troop, which receives a dollar for each flag distributed and, at last report, Troop 1001 is the current leader, above and beyond all other troops and organizations, in the number of flags distributed and retrieved for the CCHA.  The funds raised help defray some of the costs of the troop's activities throughout the year.
 
For retrieval, volunteers will gather at Trinity Bible Church (TBC) on Saturday September 16, at 08:30 AM (Please note that this is slightly earlier than in the past) to get organized and receive route assignments.  Donuts will be provided in the morning to fuel your enthusiasm, along with bottled water to keep you hydrated. The flag installation is usually completed within about three hours and we will meet to wrap up the event with ice cream.
