Update from CC - Sept 20

Troop 1852 Families:

A quick note to let everyone know that:

Troop 1852 will resume troop meetings this Tuesday, Sept. 23.

The September campout will take place this coming weekend, Sept. 26 - 28, at Guadalupe River State Park. At Tuesday's meeting, we will need to double-check and update registration for this campout because some who planned to go originally may not be able to make the new date, and because some who couldn't make the original date may be able to make the new one. The boys who are attending will plan menus and duty rosters at Tuesday's troop meeting.

Yours in Scouting,

Russell Johnson
Committee Chair

Tuesday Sept 16

Troop 1852 Families:

I hope that everyone has survived Hurricane Ike with minimal damage and disruption and that lives are getting back to normal. Please note the following change of plans due to the storm:

*The troop meeting for Tuesday, Sept. 16, is canceled.
*Because Tuesday's troop meeting was to be the campout planning meeting, and because of the uncertainty surrounding schedules this week, this weekend's campout at Guadalupe River State Park has also been canceled. The committee is exploring options for a September campout, including the weekend of Sept. 26 - 28. As soon as decisions are made, we will let you know.

Please continue to monitor e-mail and the troop Web site (www.troop1852.org) for updates.

Also, because many people still do not have electricity, Internet service, and/or phone service, please do what you can to help ensure that this information gets to all troop members.

Finally, if anyone needs anything because of the hurricane, please call me at 281.969.8037 and I'll see what I can do to get you some help.


Yours in Scouting,
