The October 14, 2004, Leader Meeting started at 7:05 p.m. with introductions of all in attendance.

 

The ground welcomed new leader, Tiffany Clowes, from Northwood School.  She was also the “Princess for an Hour,” and we learned quit a bit about her.  She will be choosing the princess for the next meeting.

 

Announcements:

 

Mom & Me Tea is coming up quick – November 5 (an in-service day), 7:00 to 9:00 (6:30 for table setup) at the IBEW.  Invitations with more specifics will be mailed out soon.  The price will be $4 per scout to cover the cost of the patch, as well as a $0.50 donation to the Juliet Lowe Foundation (as the event is in celebration of Juliet Lowe’s Birthday, October 31).  Adults $2, adult plus scout $5.  This is no longer a “bring a friend” event, as voted on by attendees at the meeting.
