Good morning, 635ers,

First a note from the estimable Mrs. Moldovan, president of the local Meals on Wheels:

Hello,

Once Again, Essex Meals on Wheels is looking for help from the Boy Scouts. This is a unique request, aren't they all?

Anyway, we have an opportunity on Feb 7 only from 9-6 pm (yes, it is a school day) for individuals aged 16 and up to earn money to be donated to our organization by packing and dressing teddy bears a VT Teddy Bear Company. We need 20 volunteers (we already have 10-12 committed) in order to do this event. We will receive $1600.00 from Teddy Bear.

Any chance older boys or Eagles that might be able to take a day off for community service might help? The National Honor Society at Essex High School is asking their local members also.

It was just a thought, so I asked. If not possible , I truly understand.

I told her I'd be happy to send it along and mention that the troop would be happy to count it as community service hours for all participating scouts.

See you this evening,

Sonnick
