Venturing Crew 1150

Will be a busy one. We have to plan for the campout that weekend - food mainly, but shooting schedule too. We’ll need head counts and when everyone can head out. See you Monday!

Don’t forget the coffee and donut sales concession we are running at FRGC this weekend. If you are slated to work the event, be at the Church by 6:30am (I know, its early) so we can get out there and set up before the crowd arrives.

Coffee and Donut sales. Be at the Church by 6:30am if you are working.

For September:
We are going to the FRGC this weekend Saturday and Sunday to serve coffee and donuts prior to the competitions. This is a Crew fundraiser, and we were invited by the Club to do this. Crew decided on Class A uniform shirt as the uniform of the day. Any pants/shorts are okay. We will meet at the Church early, 6:30am or so to get out there and get set up by 8am. Please let Rory and Tony know if you are coming.

September campout (21-23) planning is still up in the air. We’re waiting for some answers to questions sent to the crew joining us to make a final determination on menus. Please let Rory and Tony know if you are coming this weekend. We will leave for Big Mac Friday evening. There will be shooting, and we will do a handgun class for our new crew members.

October Dulles Gun Show – we are going to make a day out of it on Saturday.

October Fall Camporee on Oct. 19-21 at Ft. Washington. You decided to serve as photographers and maybe set up a Venturing demo area (those plans are still in the works by District – it may not happen).

Mike is working out the details for a November timeframe hunting trip. We will need to take a hunter education class before we go.

I sent out updated permission forms. Please fill them out as soon as you can and return.

We need to push recruiting this fall. I will have brochures by next meeting. I’m asking everyone in the Crew to invite at least one classmate to come visit. They don’t have to join, just come see what we do and maybe they will join.

Unit elections are coming up in November. We thought terms were 6 months, but the bylaws say 1 year. Do you all want to change that to 6 months?

I would like to have a parents meeting with all the parents. Please find out when would be a good time to do that – check with your parents. During one Monday meeting? Probably would work best.

You need to have an annual planning meeting soon. We seem to be doing okay on the month to month schedule, so you should focus on what you want to do next summer. Goshen shooting sports week, Camp Perry National Competitions, or something else.

off to Clark Brothers for some shotgun shooting. Meet at the Church at 1pm. We should be back by 4pm or 5pm.
