Happy Holidays Troop 128!

We will meet at the CHECK-IN BOOTH in Figueroa Plaza TOMORROW, Thursday, December 1 at 4:00 pm.  Dress warm in case it rains.  THE EVENT IS RAIN OR SHINE! and some cover will be provided. IF YOU WANT PIZZA, PLEASE BRING $5 PER PERSON.  We will be going straight to the Scout House at the church right after the can tree build which should be done by about 5:00 pm.  Mrs. Barron will pick up the pizza on the way there and scouts can eat before the leadership meeting at 6:00 pm.  Regular troop meeting starts at 7:00 pm.

We need CANS! – please bring as many cans as you can - ideally 40!.  You can get vegetables for 50 cents per can at Winco.

- we need 700-800 canned food items to build our donation tree.

ALL ATTENDEES -
PLEASE MAKE 3 WHITE SNOWFLAKES FROM WHITE PAPER AND BRING THEM TO THE BUILD TO DECORATE OUR CAN TREE!

THERE IS PARKING AND OTHER INFORMATION IN THE LINK BELOW - PLEASE READ THIS LINK:

PLEASE READ THIS LINK as your one-stop-shop for all CAN-tree information. We urge you to please share it with all your co-workers/friends/family participating in the CAN-tree event.  

Any questions, please call Janet Barron at 805-340-5977 

With about 40 scouts in the troop, we need at least 20 cans from every scout or 30 cans from each from enough scouts to build the tree.  Ask your family, friends and neighbors this week to donate some cans and bring them to the build and we will be good to go.

AND we need help to build the actual can tree downtown THIS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1.
We have now made a place on the troop calendar to sign up - or just come - we need at least 6 scouts to get it built and decorated in less than one hour.

At this point – PLEASE JUST BRING ALL YOUR CANS DIRECTLY TO THE CAN TREE BUILD AT FIGUEROA PLAZA.  If you are not able to attend, please contact Janet Barron (805-340-5977) and she will make arrangements to have you drop the cans off at our house or she can pick them up from you.  

 We will not assume anyone needs a ride to the build site unless they are signed up on the troop calendar or if you contact Mrs. Barron (cell phone below) to say your scout needs a ride. Otherwise you can just meet us AT THE CHECK IN TABLE in Figueroa Plaza at 4:00 pm where we will be unloading the cans and finding out where our tree will actually be built in the plaza.  If you come, you can see all the other cool Can Trees - pretty neat if you have never seen it.
If you have more cans to donate, please bring them that day.

Some of us are planning to grab pizza after the build on the way to the scout meeting that same night.  The regular scout meeting starts at 6 pm, but we should be done with the build about 5 pm or so.

Location: Figueroa Plaza in Downtown Ventura (across from the Mission)
Build Date: Thursday, December 1
Build Time: 4 PM – 6 PM  
Any questions, please call Janet Barron at 805-340-5977

Thanks for your community spirit!
