[Troop139] ScoutFest NEXT WEEKEND and other Troop 139 matters for this week

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!

I need a final list of who is going to ScoutFest in Alpine next weekend.  I
plan to arrive in the morning on Friday, but you are welcome to come as soon
as you get out of work and school.  We have a limited number of parking
passes and Troop gear will need to be brought up by others as my car is
already full.  Depending on the weather forcast, we will need someone with a
large vehicle to bring up the Popups and the 10x20 ft tent shelter we use
for the Carnival.  

This is a pricey event and we need an accurate headcount of both Scouts and
adults who will be participating.  Remember, that driving into GNYC Camp
Alpine on Rt. 9W becomes a real issue due to limited parking passes (which I
haven't seen yet!).   Please circulate this email to all concerned on FB and
text channels and DO NOT LET THIS GO UNTIL TUESDAY.  We need the answer over
this weekend in order to know if we need to buy more slots.  For reference,
we have 20 Scouts and adults committed to the event, but I don't know who
you are.  Please help by getting this resolved ASAP.

 

Also, on Tuesday night we need to make some more progress on the garage and
also ensure that everyone has a ride up to Alpine on Friday and that we have
obtained food which the Troop will purchase.  

 

We also need to know if we are going to have interest in the Ad Altare Dei
or Pius XII Catholic Scouting Award programs and classes this fall into the
early winter.

 

Finally, please get your dues of $150 in ASAP unless you have paid them
since the new year for the 2014-2015 cycle.  They were due in September.

 

Yours in Scouting!
Gordon Beattie
