Hi everyone!
I hope everyone is enjoying a great week with great weather! We have some great things planned for the young men.
We'd like to welcome CHAD RICHES to the YM organization! Chad (chad@beacon-metals.com) is Hunter's dad, and will be a great asset! We are looking forward to having him join us and help us take Scouting to new heights with Gary N., Matt L., and the young men.
Also, congratulations to JOE POPE who was ordained a Priest yesterday. Joe is a great young man and we look forward to having him undertake new and additional responsibilities in the Aaronic Priesthood!
We'll have two new Priests joining him in May--looking forward to it!
–Activities last week/this week
The Scouts started their SWIMMING merit badge and will continue those activities this week. Matt L. said he would reach out to all parents with additional information on what is need for Wed. evening.
The older young men collected donations for our fundraiser (to be held on 4-26) last Wed., and we will be combined with the YW this week preparing booths and doing things to prepare for our annual fundraiser.
–Duty to God
Please remind your sons to bring their DTG booklets every Sunday.
–The Living Christ
How is memorization coming? Remember, we have a steak dinner at my house for any young man or YM leader that has it memorized by the end of May. We'll have another incentive towards the end of the year as well.
