Volunteers Needed At The Sporting Clays Tournament!

14th Annual Sporting Clays Tournament
Friday August 13, 2010
Hunters Creek Club
675 E Sutton Rd, Metamora, MI

We are looking for Scouts at least 13 years old that are interested in the shotgun shooting sports to volunteer to support this important fund raising event for Tall Pine Council. It will be a full day. We need Scouts to arrive from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM and stay until 6:15 PM. Lunch and dinner will be provided for all volunteers. The Scouts are needed to pull targets and to keep score for the shooters on the course, but they will also help with traffic control/direction and preparation before the start of the event. This is a good opportunity to support our Council, earn service hours and have a great time doing it.

If you would like more information or are interested in volunteering for this event, please contact:

2010 Friends of Scouting

YOUR FRIENDS OF SCOUTING CONTRIBUTIONS MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Thanks to everyone whom had your unit scheduled for a FOS presentation!

We are planning 2010 Family Friends of Scouting Presentations right now! Please contact your District Executive to schedule your Pack, Troop, or Crew Family Friends of Scouting Presentation. These Presentations will be available between January and May of 2010. It is beneficial to our volunteers to schedule these presentations during a Cub Pack Blue & Gold, a Troop Court of Honor or Crew Family night.

FOS Trained Presenters will conduct the presentations in a timely fashion. Presentations take approximately 10 minutes. Presenters may need the assistance of a unit coordinator to collect pledge cards and follow up with families. Cost to conduct the Scouting program is $120 per Scout for our Tall Pine Council.

Please contact the Finance Department for more information at 810-235-8728.

Roundtable Location

Trinity United Methodist Church
1310 N. Main Street, Lapeer

The church is located directly across M-24 from the Lapeer Regional Hospital Complex.

Need more directions???

You can e-mail Ned Savage at ned.savage@scouting.org or you can call him at (810) 235-8714.

District Committee Meeting Location

The meetings will be held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church the first Thursday of each month. The church is located at 986 Turrill Rd. in Lapeer. The church is on the corner of M-24 and Turrill. The church is just north on I-69. We hope to make the drive to our meetings a little better with the new location. I would also like to thank First Elder Earl Zarger and Pastor Harry Rogers. They helped to make it possible for Blue Heron to use the church for our district committee meeting.
