Cookies - None of the troops turned in more than the 3% allowed. That means that there will be bonus checks arriving in April for troops and the service unit. Pat has the Troop Balance Sheets.

All cookie paperwork has to be turned in to Pat no later than Friday, March 3, 2006.

Youth Sevice Day - April 22 - The City of Cibolo said, "yes," to the proposed project of fixing up the park behind Watts Elementary. Look for more information to come.
SUD Second - We need adults to step up and fill some positions in the service unit. Some positions take less time than others. We need some delegates that will represent our service unit and be our voice in the council. Please bring your nominations to the next service unit meeting or send them to Milda. It can be a parent in your troop. Please ask around.
We also need someone to take over as Registrar. Tammy is going to step into the much needed position of Events Coordinator and that will leave her spot at Registrar open. Please consider taking one of these or any other open job. You will be notified of any training that you will need to take.
Please check your folders. We recieved the Spring Green Packs and new Directions.
MDE Minute - Sally is trying to help Janice get all her records straight. There are some troops that either gained or lost money from the end of the 03-04 scouting year to the beginning of the 04-05 scouting year. Janice nees some documentation on why the numbers are off (took a trip, had a fundraiser, bought patches, etc.). You will receive and email if you are one of the troops.
