April Update
All kinds of craziness going on since the last update!!

We had a booth at Gailapalooza at Gail's Harley Davidson where we sold Hy-Vee coupon books and gave away cookies to anyone who would listen to our trip story. We gave away hundreds of business cards and hope to see everyone at Liberty Memorial on June 20th!!

We have been doing yard work like madmen!! Lots of raking and mowing lately.

We've already worked one evening at Lakeside Speedway concessions and are set up to do 2 more on May 7th and 14th.

We will be at the Shawnee Farmer's Market on May 1st and 8th to sell baked goods. Ms Lizzie makes the BEST pies and muffins and cookies - I just hope some of the stuff makes it to the table before the scouts get a good whiff!! LOL!!

May 4th we'll be doing the opening flag ceremony for the Shriners.

One of our parents is hoping to set up a Cash 4 Gold fundraiser in mid-May.

Fundraisers have brought us very close to our goal. We're now down to $155 per person, we're hoping to get this within the $75 range.

CEREMONY

We've had a change of venue. In the Portland area we will not be at Ft. Stevens, we will be at Sunset Beach instead. This will allow us to have vehicles drive right onto the beach to drop off if need be.

The scouts are doing excellent with the ceremony. Everyone has their parts memorized and we will be conducting our first ceremony for our Cub Scout Pack on Monday, May 3rd.

Many thanks to everyone for their continued support!
