Car wash: SUCCESS

Thanks to the boys who participated in the car wash this morning. And thanks to all our patrons. Be sure to collect all the pledges you gathered. Ms. Bryan has the total number of cars washed for those who got "per car" pledges (31 cars is the number). Thanks to the parental units who helped supervise (and who did more work than they should have) and who brought donuts and water in the nick of time.

Thanks to Mr. Morris for letting us use his parking lot and water.

Superlatives:

Wettest: Will

Calmest: Dennis

Sleepiest: Zander

Dirtiest vehicle: the Cherokee belonging to the Subway guy

Quickest wash: the 23-year-old Harley-Davidson motorcycle

Sweetest ride: the bright yellow 2003 Chevy SSR

End-of-season reminders

Don’t forget NEXT Monday night (6/6) we have a big picnic and Court of Honor/Crossing over and Lake Tomahawk park. The Troop and Pack are providing all the food—so no need to bring anything.

The Court of Honor is at 5 pm at the pavilion—please be on time!

Also how are the pledges coming for the car wash? The car wash will be Saturday June 12 from 8-12 noon. The top 3 pledge takers will receive prize gift of $75…$50 and $25

Our goal is to have each of our 16 lads find 20 people willing to pledge $20 in support of our efforts. This should raise $6400 if we all can do it. But even if we can’t we’ll have fun trying! Thanks again to Joe’s dad for letting us use the State farm parking lot that morning!

Money Matters update

There will be a Merit Badge Midway in Spruce Pine on Saturday 2/20. Cost is $10. Pick either a morning badge and an afternoon badge, or an all-day badge to work on. This is an excellent way to gain ground on those badges. (There are options for adult leaders also.)

The troop wants to have a $50 deposit from boys intending to go to summer camp at Camp Grimes. Bring that next Monday 2/1. You can pay off the balance incrementally if necessary. But the total due for camp ($220) needs to be paid in by the end of April.
