Aloha Everyone:

This weekend is busy, with two events.

Parade - Whale Day Parade Saturday, Feb. 20, 8:00 am Kihei Library

We've been invited to march in the Whale Day parade this year - if you would like to march please email me. The organizers were really hoping to have us there and if we can get at least 10 boys together with Pack I think that will be a good showing. We will need to march in Class A uniform. Meet at 8am at the Kihei Library and be ready to march at 9am. Each boy that marches will recieve a goodie bag from the event as a makana for showing up. I personally have never been to this event so don't know what to expect but I've heard the parade is fairly short nothing like the Maui County fair parade so we should be done early.

Let me know if you will be available - Ellie needs to confirm with the organizers right away how many of us will be there.
Mark will check with Ellie to see if they also need someone to do a color guard for the opening of Whale Day.


Also, this weekend is our Blue & Gold dinner with Pack 22. It is on SUNDAY, FEB. 21 AT KALAMA PARK DINING HALL NEXT TO THE BASEBALL FIELD AT 2:30.

Can someone please volunteer (not Mark) to pick up the ice cream and cones? (You will be reimbursed.) We will have the boys serve that night.

Bring your own beverage if you want something other then water and or malomalo juice.

Robbie and Rosanne will work on a center piece for our tables. Anyone else who has blue and gold items to decorate our tables would be welcome to combine with the decorations.

There will be some games for a Gathering activity - Troop 22 will be running the games - just for fun!

We will also have a Court of Honor so remember Class A uniform and EVERYONE - Scouts, parents, siblings, guests must wear closed toe shoes.

MARK: Please let Mary know what awards she needs to pick up from the Scout office this week so that the Boys can receive them at the Blue and Gold Court of Honor.

Thank you to all the scouts who participated in selling popcorn on their own: BENJAMIN, CHRIS, DYLAN, GREG, KALEB, KAHUA, NASH, NATHAN, NYK, NOAH & THOMAS. You were successful in selling $2,350 worth of popcorn!!! Our total popcorn sales this year is $3,321.0 (down a bit from the last 2 years (2008 $4,432 2007 $5,902) but almost the same as 2006 ($1.00 more this year!). Our commission from our popcorn sales this year will be about $797.00 plus the donations we received in front of Safeway will put us a approximately $1,247.00 earned for Troop 22!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!

I want to send an extra big thank you out to Tricia who helped me organize the store front sales and to Marie for helping me input our popcorn order on line. You were both a big help to me. We expect the popcorn pickup from the scout office to be around December 5th and I will let everyone know when it is here so that you can come by and pick it up and start distributing it.

March, 2010 is a tentative date for a trip to Oahu to spend the night on a battleship!! Watch for more information to come.

SCOUTARAMA will be held at War Memorial Stadium in April, 2010. Be prepared for the biggest Scoutarama ever! Troop 22 will be running the range this year. It will take a couple of days to set up and held one Saturday and then one day for breakdown. More information to come.

Please plan on these days as this is the first NYLT that has been on Maui for many, many years, if ever! Mark is putting together the program with the scout office right now so it is sure to be a big even not to be missed.

FUTURE COMMITTEE/PARENT MEETINGS FOR TROOP 22
The next Committee/Parent meeting will be held on Thursday, December 10th at 7:00 at Mark's office while the boys hold their Scout meeting. Parents, please plan on staying at Mark's office for one hour that evening so that we can have our parent meeting. The last meeting was the best attendance yet and we all felt that it would be a good way to get
everyone together rather than hold our meetings on different days. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Thank you for your time and energy
Rosanne
