All:  I would like to set Weds Aug 17 at 6 PM for our annual leader’s planning meeting.  It will be held at my home, 5027 Albrecht Rd Rome, NY (Town of Westmoreland).  We will be integrating the Council calendar in to our program for next season.   As always any parent interested in helping/discussing the program is welcome.  I will provide the drinks, meat, condiments and rolls.  Please bring a dish to pass.  Please let me know if you can make it.

All:  This Saturday is the Honor America Days parade in Rome.  If you are interested in marching in the parade, the Lake Delta Kiwanis group would like you to march in front of their float.  Scouts have been asked the carry a replica of the flag which flew over Ft. Stanwix during the siege.  If you are interested you need to be at Franklyn Park before 9:30 this Sat. in Class A uniform.  Franklyn Park is just south of the Rome Hospital on Black River Boulevard between Pine and Locust Streets.  The gentleman in charge of the Kiwanis is Duane Niemi.  He will be looking for scouts prior to the start of the parade.  There will be other scouts marching.

From Scoutmaster Obernesser:
Please let me know if you would like to march in the Honor America Days in Rome on July 30.

MORE INFORMATION:
Last fall while putting the Camporee at Ft Stanwix together, we were asked to provide a color guard for the Lake Delta Kiwanis at the Honor America Days parade. This is scheduled for July 30 at 9:30 AM. The theme is Ft. Stanwix 110 Ann. of the Nat. Parks system and the first place the ‘Stars and Stripes’ were flown in battle against a foreign advocacy. Scouts are asked to bring their colors and meet on the south end of Franklin Field, which is located on the west side of Black River Boulevard about a ½ mile north of Ft. Stanwix. This would be a great community exposure for Scouts. Can we get something out to units on this??
