Hey 56ers!

Start your engines for fun.  Just a reminder that check in is tomorrow from 4-5 pm.  You must register your car during this window, if you intend to race on Saturday.  Normally, you should enter through the Pine Street gate and come check in on the morning meeting stairs.  However, there was a pipe break on Pine Street (as the Willow families are all too well aware) that has closed the street.  While the street may be fixed by Friday.   If that is not the case, the plan will be to enter through the Willow Street gate And then snake around the right hand side of the school to the check in location. 

Hey 56ers!

Today we blast off with some great weather!  We should be mid-50s with plenty of sun.  Decent wind, but not too much.

See you all in the north parking lot at UNO (between the Lakefront Arena and the lake on Franklin).

An update on the tree & greens sale:

• We have sold approximately 60% of our supplies with 2 weeks to go! Now's the time make those final sales!
• We're out of the big trees but we have plenty of the small(er) trees to sell - from 6' tall to 9' tall. Perfect for the typical house!
• We've also got plenty of smaller wreaths (20" and 16").
• But we've still got 16 of those massive 75' White Pine Garland! Perfect for festooning the front facade of a shotgun house.

Also, don't forget to join us on the morning of Saturday, November 29 from 9am until 11am to unload the trailer. Many hands make for light work!

Don't forget everyone that we've got a rare back to back week on meetings.  See you all Thursday!  As always uniformed Cubs can join me on the morning meeting stage for the pledge.

Hey 56ers!

With our first camping trip right around the corner, I wanted to clue you all in on Hiker Direct.  It is a Scouts only camping store front from well known camping outfitter ALPS Mountaineering.  

Hey 56ers!

In what felt like a scene out of the old days when the NFL would set each the whole schedule at one time by hand, we have been able to confirm all of our camping trips for the balance of the year.  Unfortunately, to get it done and keep the same number of camping trips we had to move things around quite a bit.
