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.
