Thanks to all the Scouts, parents, leaders, and alumni that made it
out to the Feed the Troops Rally on Thanksgiving. We made the news!

Our next event is the Court of Honor on Thursday, December 17th.  Hope
to see everyone there!

Thank you to all of the Scouts and parents who worked so hard to make
the spaghetti dinner a sucess!  Extra thanks goes out to Joe Hale, Deb
Sperling, Anne Gillespie, and Mike Gallagher for organizing the event,
soliciting donations, and bringing everything together, to Denise
Zeigler for putting together
the raffle prize basket of movies, to the Talucci family for donating
the meat, and to the Bhasin family and the Coriander Indian Bistro for donating the bread.

Two reminders this week:

   Campground in Tabernacle, NJ is THIS WEEKEND, NOVEMBER 20-22.  The

   made, a monkey bridge constructed, and a short hike.

   whose Scout's distributed flyers for Scouting for Food, the pickups
   are THIS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18.  You can bring all the food you have
   collected to the Scout meeting that night, or drop it off when coming
   to the camping trip on Friday.
