Everyone,

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break. Welcome back. Tonight's meeting is a PLC.

Please remember that the mulch fundraiser forms were due yesterday. If you have some orders and have not been able to turn them in, please bring them to tonight’s PLC meeting and give them to Mr. Corona. We need to place our order on Tuesday, March 22 for our Saturday, March 27 delivery. Also, if you would like to participate in the delivery of the mulch this Saturday please let us know. We will send out additional information once the final numbers are in.

The District Camporee date was changed due to some kind of conflict on the original weekend. The new dates are April 16-18, 2010. If you had previously signed up and can no longer make it on the new date, please use the online form to remove yourself. I apologize for the confusion; this came up a few weeks ago. If you have not signed up, please do so soon so we can plan for food and get a campsite that we can fit in.

It is time to get the next summer camp deposit turned in. The final payment is due next month. Please see the schedule on the calendar or summer camp information page. The updated prerequisites for merit badges has just been published. I will work on getting those updated on our site this week. You will know they are current if you see the Citizenship merit badges listed. Merit badge selections must be made by April 19. The sign up page is on the summer camp information page.

THANKS!
