May’s forum/roundtable is this coming Thursday evening, May 8th, at Singing Bird Lodge in Rock Island, starting at 7:00pm
We will be joining the Boy Scout roundtable for a discussion on activities, places to go, and things to do with your units.
I encourage you to bring your ideas and join in the discussion.
There will be no district VOA meeting this month. Instead you are invited to the Saukenuk district recognition dinner. It will be Thursday April 10th, 5pm at the New Mandarin Chinese Restaurant. Please see the council website for more details.
The district VOA meeting is coming up Thursday the 13th at Singing Bird Lodge. The topic is backpacking and we will have an expert from active endeavors there to talk. If you are planning on doing a high adventure trip this summer it would be a very worthwhile thing to attend.
