Hi everyone!

Thanks for a great fundraiser last evening! The YW and YM did an excellent job (and the ward leaders and members were pretty darn good as well).

Another quick rundown on things (pay particular attention to the things in RED) . . .

–Activities last week/this week

This last week was busy with preparing for the fundraiser and holding the activity on Saturday.

We will CANCEL this Wed. night's activity and give YM, parents, and leaders a much needed break. Note we do have the Scout Court of Honor next Sunday (see below), so the respite will be short.

UPCOMING BSA ACTIVITIES:

Campouts will be held on the 2nd weekend of every month for 2014.

If we have at least 2 boys, we will move forward with the campout. We will not hold the campout that month if 2 boys cannot attend.

REMINDER: Fundraiser is tomorrow

Hi everyone!

This is just a reminder that we have the carnival fundraiser tomorrow. The youth have been great, and we look forward to a fun event!

Youth have been asked to be at the church at 4:00 to help set up. They are also at the booths during the duration of the carnival, so if they cannot be there early please bring them as soon as you can to eat and help at the booths.

This event helps subsidize the costs for summer camps and some other planned outings, so please make sure they come and participate and invite others to join in the fun as well! A lot of preparation has gone into this event (by the youth and leaders), and we look forward to a great afternoon/evening!

Thanks!
