[Troop139] Bike Ride - Riders & Volunteers Needed

[J.Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!

This would be a great opportunity to get some requirements done for the
Cycling Merit Badge and/or service hours.  Follow the instructions below and
let me know if you have either registered to ride or would like to
volunteer.  

We need Radio Operators, "SAG" Wagon Drivers and Rest Stop helpers.

 

Thanks & 73,

Gordon Beattie, W2TTT
