Happy Scout Sunday & Super Bowl Sunday

Mark

Scout Sunday is Feb 3

A reminder that Scout Sunday is this Sunday Feb 3.
Boy Scouts and Cubs should be at Brighton Community Church in uniform at 10am to act as greeters.
Boy Scouts will help collecting offerings.  We will do an opening of the Boy Scout Law and Cub Scout Promise.
If possible all scouts attend.  This is a once a year opportunity for the our troop to interact with the congregation of Brighton Community Church, the church that sponsors us.
It doesn’t matter what your religious preference is.   If you cannot make it to the Birghton Community Church please consider attendiing your own church’s service in scout uniform.

Sleep Out for Hunger – Fri. Feb. 1

The 26th Annual Jerry Starr Sleep out for Hunger will be Friday, Feb. 1 at 8 PM in the Hoover Middle School parking lot and cafeteria.
The purpose of the Sleep out is to help the needy in the Buffalo area by collecting donations of cash, food, clothing and small furniture items.  By the 3rd week in January many food pantry shelves are empty.  Ask your friends and family for an items they no longer need and stop by.
If you can make any donations please stop by Hoover Middle School between 8 and 10 PM.  An Amish quilt is also being raffled off.  100% of all donations are distributed to area organizations.
Also, it is still not too late to sleep out!   If it is very cold they are offering for people to sleep in the cafeteria instead of outdoors.  Stay for the whole sleep out or just an hour, whatever you can do.  Feel free to bring board games and snacks if you are staying.
