Dear Troop 160 Adults,

Please step up and answer to Margaret Stebbins’s call to help out with this year’s event/positions. The Adult Volunteer Form is now available for download in the troop website.

If you’ll be helping to drive scout around for any event in the future, please also download and complete the Motor Vehicle Information form.

Both forms are available as subpages to the Adult positions for 2005-2006 page in the “Contact Us” tab of the troop website.

Thank you in advance for your Help!

This request is going out to Troop 119 as well in case they would like to help. Service hours for either Boy Scouts or for LHS will be signed off on. I will have the LHS forms with me at the event. In addition, I suspect that a free hat and T-shirt will be available for all volunteers and volunteers are not restricted to Scouts. Adults may help as well. You do not have to be there the entire time.

On October 1st, from 1-4 PM, Lexington will host a Walk for Dyslexia. Since hiring professional staff and organizers bleeds away much of the money raised by the event, last year some of the positions were filled by volunteers. This year, there will be an effort to do it all with no professional help. Of course the first group the local organizers thought of was the Boy Scouts.

We will be doing things like handing out T-shirts, distributing water, blowing up balloons, putting up barriers, and all the other things Scouts do so well.

If any Scouts or adults have some time to help on October 1st, send a reply to this e-mail as soon as possible.

Thanks,
-Hank Manz

Hello all,
We are doing very well with RSVP’s for the Sept 30th cookout, but I still have not heard from many of you…………………so please reply or send me bottom of hand-out. (flyer attached)

We have plenty of desserts, and are doing Ok on pasta salads, so I want to ask all folks who have not gotten back to me yet, to go the Tossed Salad, or Potato Salad route (then pasta salad)

I also need two more gas grills (we will arrange for pick up and return) and need to know if the donators wish to cook on their grill or just donate use of the grill). I have a few volunteers to cook, but always like to give the grill owner the right of first refusal.

A few more servers would also complete the “kitchen” staff for the event

Rain plan is to hold at St Bridgid’s, Troop leadership to make the call on the day of.

Thanks
John Woodhouse

For the past two weeks, we have had pretty productive meetings under the leadership of the Scoutmaster Mr. Manz and our newly elected SPL Jeff Gilbert. All of the boys look ready for another great year of scouting. Thank you for your time and financial commitment to make scouting possible.

Our membership dues for school year 2006-2007 are $60. If your boy would like to receive Boy’s Life (the official magazine from the Boy Scouts of America) magazine, please add additional $12 to your dues for a one-year subscription.

Check should be made out to “Troop 160″. Financial assistance is available as usual, feel free to contact Doris Kelly for a confidential discussion and for more details.

One of the files attached here is the Motor Vehicle Information form. I encourage every family to fill out this form with information on any vehicle(s) that you would like to use on a scout trip. This information is part of the trip permit that we submit to the BSA for every trip we go.

There are two ways you can give me your dues and Motor Vehicle Information form:

1) Drop in the Troop 160 mailbox (portable with label Troop 160 on it) on the table to the right when you enter the meeting place (I will at the door to answer your questions and collect checks at the end of next couple meetings)

2) Mail me the check and form to me, Lien Ho.
If there is any question, please feel free to email or call me — contact info is in the Troop Guidebook.
In Scouting,

Lien Ho
