Pre-Event Info

Some information for the Crew's next outing...

Woods & Water 2009

posted ‎‎Sep 29, 2009 7:36 PM‎‎ by Webmaster 555

Next weekend, this time we will be at the fire!  YEE HAW!  We are not providing staff shirts this year to cut down on spending and put more monies into program.  If you have a staff shirt from any year in the past, please wear it next Saturday. 
 
Judy has been asked to send directions and schedule info to help clarify times etc.  Judy could not find it earlier, however, it was titled High Risk Form. Judy is not sure why, however, it is attached.  If you have a problem pulling it up, please email Judy and she will send you just directions to T. Brady Saunders Camp.
 
Judy is having a difficult time catching Sabrina to get numbers on your classes, but will try to get with her this Monday. This is the first year that council is handling the program scheduling and not volunteers.
 
We look forward to seeing you next weekend, Oct. 2-4th.  Thanks so much for all you do to make this a special event.  It's all about the young ladies who will be coming.  You make them feel special.  This is the 17th year, but the 16th event, thanks to Hurricane Isabel in 2003!
