Picture day at Troop Meeting tonight

Remember..Troop pictures tonight in Class A uniform...Khaki shirt, Troop neckerchief, merit badge sash, Scout belt, Trouser/shorts (no sweat pants or jeans under the trousers or shirts) and socks. Will need a leader/Scout to collect a cash/check from each family for $15 or $25.00, another leader to arrange the uniform before the picture and to help with the preparation and line. Will have a taped activity going on for others to watch as they wait for the picture. If he absolutely can't make it, there will be make up scheduled.

Mr. Smith and Mr. Madison will get the scaffolding this Wednesday...I don't know, as usual who will be coming for the lot set up this Friday so we still need a plan as usual....Mr. Madison..can you bring your large corporate open trailer to haul all our gear from the hut...if not we will have to use the Frank Tank to get it all overthere....then once there we can start the set up....I'll announce tonight for all who are coming to be there at 8:00 AM on Friday...then we will take the Tank over and load it as we get gear down from the ceiling and from the back......Once over there we can set up as usual with everyone else...Thanks to Mr. Smith the Frank Tank is currently re-wired and the insides are bolted tight into the sides..we will also bring the Marquis over for set up the same morning.

Remember..for those of you in town..Scouts and Dads/Leaders need to be at the Parking lot at 8;00 AM the Friday after Thanksgiving (Nov 27) to set up the lot...We need everyone..so please plan on being there as announce tonight at the meeting. As in loading the trees, the more the merrier and the quicker it will be done.

I think leaflet and banner/sign advertising will still be a key for us this year...more than ever due the economy and to attract resdidents who don't know we are up and selling.

Mr. Young..we still need those flyers put out in the major developments on Shadescrest and down in the Oxmoor Valley...I'll ask for leader volunteers to take Scouts down those roads do that Friday or Saturday the doors of the homes as we did last year....sign/banner sitting implys putting up one or the other and watching it at peal traffic times so no one can take it..then picking it up and leaving.

We also need to hold up our signs/banner to show we are there also..I am sure the sign nazi is still around....(last year they took all we had up) I plan on sitting on the main corners of Alford from I-65 to Tyler and on the intersection/Oxmoor and Valley ..but I will need help..I think the first and second weekend will be enough with some during the week.

We will also plan tonight and ask for volunteeers for the December 5 Samford game for our tree leaflets and chance ticket to the crowd...we will see what we can do for the other Saturdays also with volunteers.

If we Don't see you at the meeting tonight....on behalf of the Troop Committee and all the Scouts and their families..have a Happy Thanksgiving..the best yet!
