Thanks!

All the orders have been sent to Trails End and we should expect to get our popcorn to deliver around the middle of this month. I’ll let everyone know the exact date and time to come to the Scout Hut for pickup

As for the results – with sales and donations we collected $7,000, $1500 more than last year. Great job Scouts! We had 15 Scouts sell Popcorn this year, with Six Scouts earning the Whitewater Adventure day incentive, two with full ticket awards and four with 1/2 ticket awards.

However, the best part is that we will be putting over $2,700 into Scout accounts based upon individual sales.

Thanks to everyone who has helped this years program be a big success.

Thank you to all those that donated for this years stew and those that came to work. The event was a great success despite the weather.

As of today ,we have all of the canned vegetables, Pork, Butter, Canned Milk and Tomato Juice. We still need 24.5 lbs. of Beef, 14 lbs. of Chicken and 5 lbs. of fat back.

I will be at the Scout meeting tonight if anyone needs to discuss the needs for the stew.

I appreciate all of the donations!

Thanks,

Dave z.

The Brunswick stew is Saturday, Nov 1. The scouts will begin cooking on Friday night, Oct 31. The attached flyer has all the pertinent information. Assistant Scoutmaster Zoglman is gathering together all the ingredients for the stew and is still in need of some items. Here is his email to me of the list of items still needed. Please be sure and let him know what you are contributing.

30 lbs. of Beef, 16 lbs. of Pork, 12 lbs. of Chicken, 10 lbs. of Fat Back, 8 lbs. of Butter, 10 cans of evaporated milk, 2 gallons Tomato Juice, 12 #10 cans of Whole Kernel Corn, 12 #10 cans of Diced Tomatoes.

It takes a great deal of ingredients to make 100 gallons of stew and we rely on donations to make it happen. If a person prefers not to cook the meat items we need they can help by donating the other food items. Time is approaching and We need to get commitments for the items that I have listed in order to make this a success. Anyone that has questions or donations can feel free to contact me by e-mail, phone call or in person this Monday night.
