Troop 55 News ~n~ Views

Happy New Year Everyone!
Hope you all had a great holiday and enjoyed you first day back to
school today! You boys who came out to the V.A. bingo yesterday did a great job.
It was a very nice surprise that one of the vets playing bingo bought everyone pizza! Thank you to those parents that came with us and those that got their boys to the commuter lot.
Our next Community service project is this Sunday, 1/10. We will be helping to clean Willard's Island at Hammonasset Beach State Park. The event is called "Free Willy", and it is sponsored by Menunkatuck Audubon Society and the Friends of Hammonasset. We will meet at Meigs Point at 9:45, the clean up is scheduled from 10a-12p. They are also doing a food drive in conjuction with this to benefit the Clinton and Madison food pantries so bring a non-perishable. Bring your own loppers/pruning saws/gloves/ and other instruments of destruction. The phone tree will
be started tonight. This clean-up is catered. We need a fairly accurate head count as to how many boys and parents will be attending so the organizers know how much food to order. PATROL LEADERS....When making your phone calls this week please get a count as to how many are going and call your ASPL back with those numbers. Thank you! I need to notify the organizers Thursday night.
