Spaghetti Dinner


Presale tickets were distributed to the Scouts at the February 17th meeting. Turn-in dates and forms were inside the packet. Please make sure that the form is used when tickets are turned in (especially the count as to how many adult and child/senior tickets have been sold) to assure that your Scout received the proper credit to his account. Scouts receive $4 for each presale ticket sold. Questions to Kathy Hertlein (661.0752).
Connie Peace is requesting any large wicker baskets that you may have a home. She needs them for the raffle baskets. Please call her if you can help (574.6673).
If you have not yet returned your working and dessert donation form you will soon be receiving phone calls to let you know when as well as where you'll be working to request a dessert donation.

Ad Altare Dei


Plans for the Ad Altare Dei Catholic religious program are shaping up, thanks to the AAD committee -- the Ruhes (598.5836), the Kathmanns (574.0880), and the Waldecks (574.0197). There is still time to sign up if you haven't done so. If your son is eligible but does not wish to participate in this activity, also please let one of the member of the AAD committee know, so they can complete the necessary advance plans. Thanks!!
