Our first meeting is this Friday on September 21, 7-10 AT THE GARGIULLOS’ HOUSE

Pat’s got a problem and Mrs. Gargiullo is riding to the rescue.  Just for this meeting we will be at Mrs. Gargiullo’s house.

Plans for the September 21 meeting

We will need to decide if we want to do

(1)  our camping trip scheduled for October 26-28 at Misty Mountain in the Farmhouse and what we want to do while we are there

(2)  the Empty Stocking Fund in December

(3)  the dinner for Nicholas House in January

(4)  a cookie booth in March.

Please bring your Gold Award notebooks so that we can finish up or sign off on whatever paperwork still needs doing.

Finances

We’re in pretty good shape with a troop balance of $694.10.  Out of that $153.31 is our Gold Award Project fund.

The Gold Award Scholarship choices often make how you raised your money for your project a criterion, so planning how to pay for your project is part of the process.  You certainly are allowed to get your fellow troop members to help in any fund raising you need to do.
