Fundraising
Pop can drive – Bring in the slips from returned pop can, or if you don’t have a car, bring
in the pop cans. At least $5 worth or slips or cans. Turn them in by the last meeting
(November 29th) to get your fundraising point.
Community Service / Social Opportunity
We are having a letter writing event where we will write letters thanking our troops
overseas for their service, especially over the holidays. It is going to be before our next
meeting, Thursday November 15th, at 6:00, with the meeting following at its usually time
(6:30). There will be pizza and pop as it is a social too! Please respond via Facebook,
Orgsync, or email an officer, so we know how many to expect for pizza. Replying to the
event on Orgsync would be the best way.
More Community Service
