Good Day Troop 216 Families!

As you are well aware we have been running a fundraiser for the scouts with
the Cardinals for a baseball game vs the Cubs on the 31st of July. I am
pleased to announce that we have sold enough tickets to get an extra perk.
We need up to 10 scouts to participate in a color guard flag ceremony
before the game. Since Mike Okoniewski is out of town this Monday, I have
agreed to step up and get names. Requirements of the scouts to participate
in this event is that they will need to wear the full Class A uniform while
presenting the colors. Once they are done, they can definitely dress more
comfortable to enjoy the ever popular rivalry between these two great
teams. If interested, I need names by the end of the meeting on Monday so I
can send those to our Cardinals Fundraiser Rep. More information I am
sure will follow and will be distributed to those families of scouts once I
receive it.

Have a great weekend and stay cool out there!

We got everything done today that we needed to, and I need some time to
research what paint to use. No work day tomorrow (Sunday, July 14), and I

Sunday, July 14th. Saturday will be assembly of a shelving unit, and Sunday
we will paint it. Those of you going to Philmont, if you can make it out

are welcome and appreciated.

Troop 216,

We have just two weeks before we need to pay the cardinals and turn back up
to 75 tickets. This means we need to sell 225. We are almost there, right
now just 38 more tickets gets us to 225. However, that assumes that those
of you that have tickets out sell them. Please see the attached
spreadsheet for the latest and greatest. Let me know if you need more and
please turn your money for the tickets that you have sold. If there are
any discrepancies with this latest info, please let me know –
okie135@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Mike Okoniewski

Please see the below message and have your scout let the Senior Patrol
Leader know if they would attend (needs to be a firm commitment). We would
also need at least 2 Adults (at least one must BSA registered) to be the
