Thunderbase 2014 – It is quickly approaching and we want you to get signed up.  Cost for those that had the early registration to me it will be $50.00, otherwise it will be $60.00.  I will have some openings from the first 48 spot that some have told me that they now cant go and I will offer that $50.00 price on a first come basis. 3.  For those not going on the ThunderBase weekend, we have an opportunity to go and do Flower Guard duty at Gantz Park on Friday May 2.  If you wish to do this please also let me know.  I need At least 2 adults to also go on this. It may or may not be a fund-raiser event....

Just a reminder that we will NOT be starting our meeting at the church tomorrow night.  Instead, we will be at the fire station on Highway 665 [across from the Meijer Store].  They are going to show us how in an emergency situation, they use the “jaws of life” and cut apart a vehicle!  [sounds neat – and saves lives too!] Please try to be there by 7 PM sharp and park at either Kroger or other location if possible.  We won’t have room for all vehicles in their parking lot.  Dress for the weather..... When we get done we will car pool to the church to finish out our meeting Kirk Bohanan Scoutmaster Troop 136
