Important Parent Meeting

As I announced at the Summer Camp Family Dinner last Friday, I am having a meeting on July 28th at 7PM.

Here are the details:

WHO: At least 1 parent from each Scout’s Family

WHAT: Madeira Directory & Financial Impact Informational Meeting

WHERE: Madeira Silverwood Presbyterian Church – Sanctuary

WHEN: July 28, 2015 @ 7:00PM (there is no Scout Meeting July 21 OR Aug 4)

WHY: This meeting is to give the Boy Scout Parents of Troop 209 a brief history of the Madeira Directory and its impact on troop operating expenses. In addition, this meeting will discuss the future and possible replacement of the Directory as our fundraiser.

I would greatly appreciate it if at least one parent could attend from each scout family. This is a very important meeting and decisions made at this meeting will directly impact your scout.

See you Tuesday.

Sincerely,

Tom Cross, Troop 209 Committee Chair

No meeting this week

We don’t have a meeting this week. Our next meeting is next Tuesday (7/28). Use this time to clean and put away any gear from summer camp you haven’t already put away. Remember this is your job and not your parents.

June/2/2015 Meeting

Hello,

Our June 2 Troop meeting will be held at the Madeira Swim club 6:30pm-8:30pm. We will be doing the swim test. All boys that are going canoeing and/or going to summer camp and have any intention of getting in the water at camp should attend this meeting to get the swim test completed. Waiting until summer camp to do the test is not ideal as you will be waiting in line with hundreds of other boys. The test won’t take that long and then the boys will have the rest of the time to enjoy the pool. This will be free for members and $2 for non-members (thanks Scott Blackwelder for negotiating a deal).

If your son is unable to attend due to vacation or illness, we will have a makeup date before we go to camp once we know the number of boys that were unable to attend tomorrow.

Thanks,

Brian

Meeting UPDATE Tuesday May 11 2015

Hello,

Due to a large church event on Tuesday May 12 (tomorrow), we will be unable to meet at the church for our weekly troop meeting.

We will be meeting at the same time but at Sellman Park (behind the middle school). This is a location change from what the boys were told at last Tuesday’s meeting.

If there are any questions, please let me know.
