Upcoming activities: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30TH - FAMILY TREE 6:30 p.m. - Sandi Girouard ( 3046 23rd Ave W) 283-5192 At the web site activity, we discussed cancelling The Family Tree activity next Thursday because it conflicts with the Lawton Monster Mash. However, we ran into conflicts trying to reschedule it and it has already been rescheduled once, so we decided to leave it as scheduled. Sandi needs to know who is planning on attending so that she can get appropriate supplies. For scouts who are unable to make it, feel free to call Sandi for ideas on how you can do this on your own. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH - VOTING, 5:30 p.m. - Ingrid Nielsen (3053 38th Ave W.) 216-0091 Ingrid will take the scouts to vote. Meet at Fatima Church in the Foyer (Ingrid's designated voting site). After voting, Ingrid will drive the scouts up the hill and serve PIZZA. Pick - up time 6:30 p.m. MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR DECEMBER 2ND Webelos II need to meet with the two potential boy scout troups (Troup 80 & 85) that they will move on to. Kevin noted that the philosophy and style of these troups is quite different, one is by the book and one is looser, and so it will be important to meet with both of them. The boy scouts meet every Tuesday. We are looking at Tuesday Dec 2nd for this activity. I have a call in to Paul Meyer to confirm this and will let you know if that works with Troup 80's schedule.
