Dear Parents and Scouts,

 

This is a reminder that our first meeting of the new Scout year will be held this Saturday 4 September at 2:00 p.m. at St. Thomas.

 

As a pot luck we are asking that you bring something to share.  For beverages, please consider water, ice tea, lemonade or juice.  Pleae no sodas.

 

Also, we try to avoid fried food, pork products, and limit process foods as an effort to move towards healthier eating habits for our entire Scout family.

 

If you have a grill and can bring that would be helpful.  We will have charcoal and lighter fluid please feel to bring your own. 

 

Ice is always helpful. 

 

Uniform for the day is Class "B" Scout T-shirt and Scout shorts, or blue jeans.

 

I look forward to seeing all of you back.  As a reminder this event is limited to our returning Scouts and immediate Scout family.  Our Open House will be held on Saturday 18 September at 2:00 p.m.  On that date we would like for you to invite all your friends and family and potential new Scouters.

 

Thank you,

 

Yours in Scouting,

Dear Scouts and Parents,

 

Here is hoping that your summer has been restful and enjoyable.  It's hard to believe but the time has come for us to start another Scout year.  The hope is that all our Scouts from last year return.  We did have some departures, however of a different kind.  Normally we have Scouts leave who graduate and go off to college or age out of the program meaning they turn 18.  Although when a Scout turns 18 he does not have to leave the program he can become an adult our, we know that the last graduating Scouts all went to college.

 

However this year, Mr. Howard Chapman our Asst. Scoutmaster has moved to North Carolina, one of our Webelo Scouts Sage Blackwood and his mother have also relocated to North Carolina although not in the same area.  With no graduating Scouts this year this means we can expect hopefully the majority of all our Scouts returning.

 

Our first official meeting is Saturday 4 September.  As I know this is the holiday weekend, last year we conducted a pot luck bar-b-que with great success.  We would like to try it again.  This meeting will begin at 2:00 p.m. and all Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts and parents are invited to attend.  Uniform for the day will be Class "B" with Scout T-shirt and scout shorts or jeans. 

 

As we could use a committee to help organize this event, I will be at the Church is Saturday morning 21 August from 9:00 a.m. to noon for a planning meeting.  Any parent who would like to take part in planning the upcoming year is invited to attend, to include parents who would like to help organize our pot luck meeting for 4 September.

 

Also, on Friday 20 August at 7:00 p.m.  Mr. Walt Livingston, our Treasurer will meet with members of our Popcorn Committee. If you would like to be a part come out on Friday evening.  Mr. Livingston will be our Popcorn Chairperson or Popcorn Kernel this year.  Our goal is $15,000.00.  This is only $3K more than what we did last year to include the fact that this year's sale will be five instead of four weeks.

 

Our plan is to do more targeted and focus selling.  Our planning this year is to increase participation of 55% of our families to 80% or better.  That alone will account for the $3K difference by doing exactly what we did last year.  However, with more precise planning we hope to reduce the burden on our best sellers by involving more parents to include making sure we limit the impact on programming so our Scouts have more time for Scouting activities.. 

 

Please respond if you have any changes in address or e-mail address.  This is looking up to be a fantastic year and I am looking forward to seeing all of you come back. 

 

Yours in Scouting,

Posted on Fri, Aug. 6, 2010 City expands recycling list Philadelphia's residential recycling program expanded this week to include plastic containers with any number in the little recycling triangle on the bottom. Previously, the city picked up plastics only with the numerals 1 (such as soda bottles) and 2 (milk jugs, shampoo). Examples of items in the new categories are: 3: Rigid plastic containers and juice bottles. 4: Plastic tubs and lids from butter, margarine, or similar products. 5: Yogurt containers and deli trays. 6: Plastic cups, plates, and takeout containers. 7: Many mixed plastic containers and some plastic products. The numbering system only goes through 7. (The city will not recycle plastic bags, PVC, or styrofoam.) As in the past, all items can be placed in one recycling bin, in which is known as "single stream." For more details about the program, including rewards for participating, go to www.phillyrecyclingpays.com or call 215-685-7329. - Sandy Bauers
