This is Stephanie Knickerbocker from Girl Scout Troop 774. I would like to remind you of the request I made at the Febuary Boy Scout Round House Leaders Meeting for help with my Troops Gold Project of cleaning up the Page Jackson/Evergreen/Lake View Cemeteries. The Project is scheduled for March 14, 2009, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The Girl Scout Gold Project is the highest award that a Girl Scout can achieve in their final years in Girl Scouting. Our Troops reason for deciding on this project is we believe in the preservation of the past, showing respect and taking care of our community. The cemeteries are very overgrown and in bad shape. Volunteers can help clean all day or if they need to, leave early. Please let us know ahead of time, if possible, so we will know who will be staying and leaving; this will help us with assigning areas to the volunteers.

I am sending you the Tie-ins that the Boy Scouts can earn while helping us with our Gold Project. This can count as Community Service hours; we will distribute official paperwork listing the hours and work completed. Our Troop would kindly like to have as many volunteers as possible to help us.

We recommend that the volunteers bring the following items with them:

            Gloves

Bags

Rakes

Hoes

Weed clippers (non-electric)

Bug spray

                                                                                 
We are asking everyone to wear long pants, closed toed and back shoes, long sleeves, and for those with longer hair please pull it up into a pony tail or braid. Volunteers should consider wearing a hat and sunscreen. Please bring lunch and water to drink, we will attempt to offer water throughout the day but we suggest each person bring their own water. Please don’t bring music or head sets of any kind for there may be snakes and we must be able to listen for them and hear any instructions.
 

If any of the Boy Scout Troops or individuals would like to assist us with our Project, please let me know as soon as possible. Either send me a list or have them email me. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please email me and I will gladly respond. We would like a head count if possible, so please email me so I will know how many scouts will be joining us on March 14, 2009, and I can add their names and/or Troop number to my list of workers.
