5/10/16 GS Meeting Reminder & News
Troop 1677
5/10/16 Meeting Reminder
We will be meeting this Tuesday from 6:30pm-8pm in the cafeteria. This week we finish up our First Aid badge, work on one of our Bridging steps and say good bye to Patsy as this will be her last meeting with us.
What to bring:
- Wear your vest or sash.
- Bring any worksheets you may have finished.
Is there anyone willing to bring any special treat to the meeting? It's ok to have more than one person bring something as we will have a "mini party" at the end of the meeting to say goodbye to Patsy.

If you wish to purchase the Powerplay pack that the girls are receiving it will be $22 per person (which includes the buffet).

***Please RSVP by the 20th to let me know in advance if your daughter is planning to attend, if she wishes to ride the Go Karts, and if there will be any additional Powerplay packages/Go Karts being purchased for other family members.***
