Important!

The meeting tonight is going to be in the library which is upstairs. Please make sure you're quiet as you're going through the cafeteria as there will be a concert going on.

Fleury Review
*****************
How great was that? Since half the troop was there I won't go into it too much but from the moment I showed up on Friday night and the ice nearly caused me to slide a mile down the road when I tried to cross it to the ginormous "scenario" snowball fights to the Magic marathons to the Zombified Potomoid, a good time was had by all. We were sustained with the excellent cooking of Master Colin Watts (thanks Colin) and entertained in great part by Chris Fleury who, it seems, wants to be a gangsta. Personally, I think Esteban might have the player edge but these things will most likely sort themselves out in time.

The campout also provided us with the first certification of insanity for two of our members. Scott Turnbull and Andy Watts both slept outside and insodoing were the first to earn the 2005-2006 Polar Bear award. I always told you they were trend-setters!

****************
Meeting Plan
****************
The plan for the meeting was to have been wrapping up our athletics/physical fitness month with one last night of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. It seems *very* unlikely that that will come to pass and so SPL Scott will be connecting with me to come up with an alternative today. Once again we do not have use of the cafeteria due to a middle school concert, so come prepared to spend the meeting outside. It is very likely that at least the MOB will *not* be outside but come prepared nonetheless.

***********************************
Need Adults for Uncle Henry's
***********************************
We have a winter campout scheduled for the weekend of February 18th/19th. I will not be able to attend until late on the evening of the 18th if at all, so we need two adults who are willing to supervise the event. Please contact Scott Kelley and me as soon as possible if you're interested so we'll know we can move forward with planning for this event.

OA Dues Due
****************
All members of the Order of the Arrow need to have their 2006 dues of $8 to me by this Wednesday. Please make sure you do so.

New Adult
************
Matthew Turnbull, a long-term 635er has officially made the leap from yute to adult. As an Assistant Scoutmaster he can now sign off books, register as a merit badge counselor and have coffee served to him by young scouts wishing to curry favor with him. I look forward to having him remain involved in his new capacity. w00t!

That's a wrap, folks. See you on Wednesday.

Your Scoutmaster,

Sonnick
