T133 Parent Information

Hello T133 Family,
Thank you to all the parents who continue to support us in many ways, but especially via popcorn sales, on-site popcorn selling, and also transportation for the Scouts!  We know that everyone is busy, but we would appreciate and encourage more parent/family participation, as well as feedback on our efforts to arrange activities and fundraisers for our troop.  We happily welcome Ms. Lori Morse, a Scout parent who is serving as  a new co-chair of the Troop committee.   I want to echo Mr. Brockman’s appreciation for our hardworking Treasurers and this year’s Popcorn Colonels, Ms. Donna Haughton and Ms. Samantha Pearsall – they work very hard and have given up many precious hours on the Troop’s financial business as well as popcorn sales.  Thank you to Mr. Brockman, who does so many tasks, to Mr. Sadler, Mr.  Stanley, Mr. Livingston, and Mr. Branch.  Also, we will miss the active participation of Mr. Stanley, but we know he’ll be with us whenever possible.

HELP NEEDED FOR FAMILY & COMMUNITY: Boy Dies After Being Pulled From Cobbs Creek Pool...“BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE” and a “FAMILIES FORWARD SHELTER FUN DAY" on Wednesday, August 7, 2013, from noon to 3:00 P.M.

Boy Dies After Being Pulled From Cobbs Creek Pool

HELP NEEDED FOR FAMILY & COMMUNITY: Boy Dies After Being Pulled From Cobbs Creek Pool..."BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE" and a "FAMILIES FORWARD SHELTER FUN DAY" on Wednesday, August 7, 2013, from noon to 3:00 P.M.


The Honorable Representative Vanessa Lowery Brown is organizing this event at the Families Forward Philadelphia shelter residence, located on 111 N. 49th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19139.

The express purpose behind these events is to attempt to assuage some of the underlying tensions and lingering sadness following the tragic drowning death of 7 year-old Jabriel O'Connor. As I am sure you are aware, during the time of his unfortunate demise, Jabriel was a resident of the Families Forward Philadelphia shelter, the employees and staff of which are deeply saddened by the harrowing incident. (http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Boy-Drowns-in-Cobbs-Creek-Pool--216025981.html)

DONATION REQUEST

Therefore, in an effort to bring the community together during these somber and trying times, Representative Brown would like to take this opportunity to request your support with providing the citizens of this community with a sense of levity, vitally important resources, and positive activities of which they avail themselves of and participate in (i.e., face painting, summer clothes for children from 0 to age 18, etc.).

Any assistance that you and your organization can provide would be greatly appreciated. For more information regarding these events, or to discuss the matter at further length, please feel free to contact either Representative Brown or myself. Thank you for your consideration of this request. The representative anxiously looks forward to your support and participation.

Best Regards,
