Greetings!
This is our first attempt to increase our communications utilizing today's email technology.  We are hoping to communicate more frequently and in a method that will be user friendly and cost effective.  The information will include program updates, calendar updates, upcoming events and more.  As we become more proficient in the development of the newsletters, various Scouting segments will receive customized pages relevant to their position in Scouting.  Please share your feedback and let us know how we are doing.  Thanks for all you do for Scouting in our council.

The 2009 Friends of Scouting campaign led by board member Bill Anderberg is going very well.  The Board Division has now raised over $101,000.  Bill and his team have done an outstanding job in difficult economic times.  As we continue through the year, we will be working with all of our campaign leadership to reach  the 2009 goal of $350,000.  We currently stand at $296,302, which is 85% of our goal.  Thanks go out to all of you who have contributed and participated in the campaign.
