TRAVEL INFORMATION:
Flight to Nassau, Sat. June 24, 2017 Flight AA893, flight departs at 9:35 AM
BE AT THE GATE BY 7:00 AM!! We need to be checked in 2 hours before flight time. I will be at the drop off on the departure deck, about midway down at the American Airlines check-in. Look for the Troop.
Flight to Charlotte, Sat. July 1, 2017 Flight AA852, flight scheduled to arrive in Charlotte at 3:21 PM, flight leaves Nassau at 12:55. I suggest you park in the cellphone lot and wait for us to call after we land. Please be patient, as we may have to go through customs and that can be quick or lengthy depending on the lines.
Flightview is a good app to follow the plane for up to date info.
Flight Tracker and Flightaware are also app that you can use to follow the plane in and out of Nassau and see delays that may occur.
Make sure you check your backpack and remove knifes and sharp objects. It is also recommended that you carry on no liquids (or refer to the official approved quantities list on the TSA website). We will be checking a few bags, so if you have any liquids they can be combined into these checked bags.
If you have any questions, please call me

We will be taking orders for a new micro fiber red t-shirts this Monday night. These shirts will be identical to the cotton shirts we offer today, except they are made from a cooler lighter micro fiber. All orders received on Monday will be produced and available before the Bahamas trip and Summer Camp. The available sizes are from men’s small to 3XL at a cost of $12 each. We will also continue to offer the cotton shirts at a price of $9 each. If you are not going to be at the meeting Monday night and want to order the cotton or micro fiber shirts, please e-mail me what you want. The order must be placed on Tuesday to ensure we get them back in time for our summer events.
If you have any questions please let Mr. Joe know.
Thanks
