Action Items:

Soccer Tournament Fundraiser: The fundraiser is set for Father’s day weekend, June 15th – 17th.   Volunteer list has been sent out by Dan Roeder.  Please be sure to sign up for a time slot.  It is essential that we man these trailers with an appropriate amount of adult/child ratio.  At this point it is still uncertain if the Boy Scouts will be helping with 2 of the 4 trailers.  We need to be prepared to handle all 4 trailers on our own. This event produces the largest amount of revenue for our Scouts in the year.

 

Adopt a Soldier: Our soldier is Specialist Brian Voeltz, who is originally from Byron, MN.  We need more dens to commit to the responsibility that we all agreed to.
