Parents Meeting
Thursday, August 19, 2010
Robinson Township Conservation Club...Stierly Rd.
6:00 - 8:00
Dan and I will be supplying hotdogs and hamburgers.  If everyone would bring a simple side dish, we will have a great meal.  I know it's hard when you work to get home, fix supper and be at meetings at 6:00.  Maybe this will help a bit.

We will be going over some of the 2010 new guidelines and planning an exciting year for our boys and families. We would like for everyone to come so we can get your input on meetings, outings, fundraisers and a whole lot more.
