SEABASE

I have been in contact with Seabase for a reservation in 2022, unfortunately there are no open dates for June or July. Since we were not sure of who was going it was difficult to get a slot. We will make a reservation for 2023.  However I will be working on a high adventure for 2022 and let everyone know.

FUNDRAISER OPPORTUNITY

There is an opportunity to help out the troop with a fundraiser.  This message is from Bill Louthan.  Here is a chance to make some money for the troop working the gate at the Hot Rod Nationals being held at the Kalamazoo County Fair grounds friday through Sunday.  They need 2 more people on Saturday September 11 from 12pm to 5pm 2 people on Sunday from 7:30am until 11am. We will be taking tickets as well as stamping hands. There is free parking and we also can walk around the cars before or after our shifts for free. I did this 2 years ago and had a blast. They would prefer adults but we could have older youth help as well. The proceeds from this will go to the troop. Please get a hold of Bill Louthan at 269.377.8014 or email at wlouthan@aol.com as soon as possible.
