The Old North State News Page 2 Join “Fish Club” Poptober is fast approaching and there is no better way to help fund your unit’s entire calendar of activities than selling popcorn! Remember that 70% of all money raised stays local with your unit and the council. We sold over $750,000 last year as a council and just think of how much money your unit could make if every boy made an effort to sell at least $250! There are going to be some great opportunities this year and from the initial feedback we’ve received it will be great! The Popcorn Sale will start on Saturday, September 27 for everyone! For more information about how your unit can make money with popcorn, please contact Travis Rubelee at (336) 378-9166 or [email protected]. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to join “Fish Club”! Mom & Me 2014 Many thanks go out to all of those that made this year’s Mom & Me Campout a huge success. From our Camp Ranger, making sure our facilities were in order, to the cook crew for those wonderfully hearty meals…we cannot thank them enough. Our committee was lead by Jaime Swicegood and after everything she went through, she’s agreed to come back next year, Huzzah! Our medic, Anthony Laskis, deserves some honorable mention…you never hear about the medic, unless you need him and he was always available. Our range masters ensured safe shooting opportunities and should be commended as well. We had some new-fangled cameramen wandering around camp; those photos should be up on the council website in the near future. Check back frequently! If you provided an email address, be on the lookout for a survey regarding this year’s event! We would appreciate your feedback and as those of you who were here for the luggage debacle of 2013 can attest, we take them seriously! Thank you all for your attendance, we hope you had the opportunity to see what Scouting can do for your young lords. If you have an interest in being involved in the planning and putting on of the Mom & Me 2015, please do not hesitate to email me! Mark your calendars! Mark your calendars….Mom & Me 2015, scheduled May 1, 2, 3, 2015, the working theme: Things That Move, Places To Go! Best wishes on a joyous summer and great start to your school and scout years!
