School

GENERAL NOTES
FOR PARENTS:
- We are
looking for a new Treasurer.
Our current treasurer is ready to train someone new for this
position since his son is nearing the age of 18. This is the perfect way for a mom or dad
to help who can’t always make our Thursday night meetings or who wants to
contribute but doesn’t like the idea of sleeping in the snow. If you can balance your own checkbook,
you can handle this job. If you can
use Quicken or MS Money, you can handle this job. Talk to Mr. Joe Shea, our current
treasurer, at XXX-XXXX, or Mr. Jim Schwartz, XXX-XXXX if you have any
questions.
- If any adults
are interested in attending Summer Camp this year, please let the Mr. Rick
Schaub, XXX-XXXX or Mr. Jim Schwartz know.
GENERAL
NOTES:
- Seabase 2006 - Due to some early confusion in what the deposit amount was, some
Scouts have only paid $150 of the required $300 deposit. If you are one of these, please pay the
additional $150 as soon as possible since the Troop has already paid it to
Seabase. If you aren’t sure if this
is you, please check with Mr. Joe Shea.
Coordinator: Mr. Dave Thole, XXX-XXXX.
Thanks to those who helped this past Saturday and a reminder for those who signed up for this weekend. So far over 360 trees have been collected!

2006 SUMMER CAMP (30 July - 5 August)
Troop 89 will once again be attending summer camp at
Summer camp provides the greatest opportunity for advancement all year. New Scouts can quickly jump-start their Scouting careers, while veteran Scouts, in addition to continuing their own advancement, will gain valuable leadership experience. Most of all, summer camp affords an atmosphere of camaraderie, teamwork, and fellowship. We live, work, and compete together as a troop and have a lot of fun along the way. Troop 89 has traditionally maintained a strong presence at summer camp, and we hope this year will be no exception!
