Transportation Information
MEETING THE BUS FOR DEPARTURE ON JUNE 20, 2009
Plan to arrive at St. Paul Lutheran Church promptly at 6:00 a.m. on June 20th. It is extremely important we leave the church parking lot on time so the bus driver does not feel pushed to meet our ferry departure deadline in Mackinaw City.
MEETING THE BUS UPON OUR RETURN ON JUNE 27, 2009
We plan to return to St. Paul Lutheran Church 5:30-6:00 p.m. on June 27th. If we are delayed for any reason (weather or traffic conditions, etc.), you will be notified as soon as possible, so please make sure we have the telephone number where you can be reached that afternoon.
PICKING UP YOUR DAUGHTER IN MACKINAW CITY
If your daughter will not be returning with the Troop by bus and you plan
to pick her up in Mackinaw City, please arrive at Shepler�s Dock
by 11:30 a.m.
PICKING UP YOUR DAUGHTER ON MACKINAC ISLAND
If your daughter will not be returning with the Troop by bus and you plan to meet her on the Island, please arrive at Shepler�s Dock on the Island by 10:00 a.m. Please do not request that your daughter be allowed to depart from the Scout Barracks or left unattended on the Island to be met later by you. These arrangements are both inconvenient and dangerous. Your daughter�s luggage will be brought from the Scout Barracks to Shepler's dock with the rest of the Troop luggage and the Scouts will march from the Barracks to the dock when
we leave on Saturday.
