Well you missed another great meeting on 2 May! The meeting was well attended. There was discussion on the District Conference that is this weekend in New Bern at the River Front Convention Center. President Linda Chagnon showed the poster boards the club will have displayed in the House of Friendship. President Linda Chagnon and Treasurer Chip Chagnon will be the Sergeant of Arms on Friday afternoon. President Linda Chagnon is in charge of the Bear's Den on Friday and Saturday night for the District Conference. If you've never been to one, this is a great opportunity to attend a conference. The club also discussed the upcoming Golf Tournament to be held on 12 May at Fairfield Harbour Golf Club. The Tournament is a fund raiser to raise money for a scholarship for a woman returning to the workforce that requires training at Craven Community College. The scholarship will be presented to the College during the lunch and there will be many prizes - so if you are golfer here is a fun way to help a woman, get to know the club, and have a great time on the 12th - hope to see you there!

"Eagle Scout is the highest achievement or rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The designation "Eagle Scout" was founded over one hundred years ago. Only four percent of Boy Scouts are granted this rank after a lengthy review process.[2] The requirements necessary to achieve this rank take years to fulfill. Since its founding, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by almost 2.5 million young men."

Our club is pleased to have active Boy Scout LEADERS are part of our club. One of the young men people in our club are supporting is doing a fund raiser for his Eagle Scout Project this Friday. This is a very worth while cause and we are pleased to announce it. Please share this with as many as possible so this young man, future leader, can have a successful project and make a positive impact in his community with this project!

Sorry about this - the post for the 27 September and 4 October Program had two handouts - FB will only allow certain file formats to be posted and then if one of them is a video (only way to post a powerpoint) that is all you can post - so these two posts are really one post - sorry about that! Hope you read both of them!

So due to FB limitations, I can only post a video - the two handouts (picture files) are in another post. This is mentioned so that you tknow there are two posts opposed to one and are highly encouraged to read both posts. If you can figure out how FB will let me do this in one post, plesae let me know!
