Fundraising...
- Wildman and Heather have together sold about 35 Entertainment books, which
is an extremely hefty profit (like, over $200). If you want to sell any, or
buy one yourself, let Heather know at 318-8229
- Wine... was bottled on Saturday. Primary use for this fundraiser will
either be CJ'01 or the Aussie National Moot (more on this later.)
This is how it works:
1. Take the donation form that is attached to this message.
2. Collect a donation (suggested $20) from someone
3. Fill out the form in their name.
4. Give them a bottle of wine.
5. Give the form and the money to Wildman, so he can keep track of your
personal account.
6. Repeat as often as you like.
7. Cash in your account when you want to use it.
The wine is at Mark's parents house right now. It will be ready for pick-up
early next week, as we still have to get the labels on it. If you want
bottles to "give away," please let me know by email or phone (577-3223)
The KYBO...
- A side note - the KYBO magazine came out the other day, and not only did
they make fun of Ian Lipchak, but one of our own members warrented a good
making fun of. Found in the article "50 badges that Scouts Canada should
have" was described the "Stop the DJ from playing music so you can propose
to someone at a dance" badge. Check out http://www.geocities.com/thekybo
