[scouts] Maple Leaf food booth/trash/parking

[Farmer, Thomas]

I would like to piggy back off Dana's email and state that this is a major fundraiser for Troop 65. The more help we get and the better prepared we are, going into Maple Leaf, the better off we are financially. The costs associated to running a Troop include utilities, insurance, camping equipment, camping fees, transportation, and so forth. This translates to you as parents in the way of finances because it helps keep your cost down when it comes to scouting activities. Comments heard in the past is how amazed people are at how clean the town is during Maple Leaf and that is a reflection on the Boy Scouts that do trash detail and the cleanup on Sunday night after everyone leaves. So, sign up early to get the times that work for you, and so that Dana doesn't have to come and hunt you down later!

Dana, I'll talk to you later about times available for trash detail and food booth.

                                               Thanks,
                                                      Tom

Hello everyone!

It is that time of the year again.  MAPLE LEAF.  Troop 65 is responsible for a Food Booth on Sat. 8-6 and Sunday 9-5, Trash Pick-up (Setup Friday night), Sat. 12-7 and Sun. 10-7, and Parking at the Scout Cabin, Sat 7am until full (noonish) as well as Parking at the IC, Sat. starting at 7:30 am & goes all day and Sunday am only starting at 7:30 am.  We will need people Friday evening to help put out & set up signs, rope of the parking area around the scout cabin, set trash cans up round Baldwin and Set up  the food booth.

These are all important things that need to be done, but we this doesn't all end at 5pm on Sunday night.  We have Downtown Cleanup that has to be done as well.  Speaking for someone who has done this, it would be REALLY nice if every scout and their family would show up & help with this.  It would go a lot faster & we all might get home at an early time.

I know this is a crazy time for anyone who lives in Baldwin City.  If you have children involved in other things in school or the community, they have a booth for you to help with as well.  The Boyscout Troop seems to have decreased in size a little which means that everyone will need to sign up for more than one shift & more than one thing.  I am truely amaized at the amount of work that these kids & leaders do for Maple Leaf.  It is an important time for Baldwin City & I feel these scouts do a great job help things run smoothly.

Please e-mail me or call me & let me know when & where you would like to work.

Thank you,

Dana
