Yankee Candle orders are in!

I have the catalogue orders from Yankee Candle.  I will have them with me Thursday night so you can pick them up while bagging phone books to add to the already exciting evening!

The Mandatory Troop Fall Fundraiser is here….

It is time Troop Phone Book Deliveries.  This activity is CRITICAL to supporting the troop and helping supplement things ranging from dues to camping.

As recently discussed, this is Phone Book Deliveries for Frontier and the following are some of the improvements over last year:

• This is an “every house gets a book” delivery which will be easier, faster and less complex.
• A new warehouse with a much nicer, cleaner parking located near the Elks in Ellington
• One Town for deliveries

Please Note:

• Bring ANYONE who can help with the bagging Thursday night to the WAREHOUSE located at 105 Windermere Ave, Ellington  
• Someone will be at the Warehouse on Thursday by 5PM
• Come when you can – FYI – bagging books and having dinner is always a good time :).

Please email me at jason.lipman@gmail.com with any questions.

Urgent call for help!

Our warehouse space has fallen through at the last minute and we need a location for books storage & bagging to make this happen!

We need space for 30 pallets (+working room) and if not a loading dock, access to a fork lift.  From 11/17 thru 12/4.  

If anyone has a potential lead, please reply here or reach out directly to Jason Lipman

Thank you from your Troop Phone book committee  

Troop Phone Book fundraiser

Save the Date.  We are planning on beginning a Troop wide fundraiser with a bagging night on the 18th with deliveries beginning on that same weekend.

This is an “every house gets a book” delivery which will be easier, faster and less complex.

Stay tuned for more information.

Don’t forget Friendly’s fundraiser 11/9

Come join us at Friendly’s on Wed 11/9 and 20% of your check will be donated to Troop 20/20!  These funds will be used towards the increased registration fees to Council as well as other Troop activities.  This voucher must be presented with your check for our Troop to receive this donation and can be printed from this link.  Friendly’s Voucher

We are looking for boys to join us in full Class A uniform to represent the Troop & greet guests as they arrive for dinner  or while you are waiting for your dinner.  So come join your fellow scouts for a fun evening!

Please help spread the word to make this a successful event!

Troop Dues are Overdue

​Thank you for those who have paid their Dues, we have more than half of them!  For those still with unpaid Dues we will now take the following steps.  

– 11/17 – Unpaid Dues will be deducted from your scout account if funds are available (see Mike P for account balance)

– 12/1 – Any boys who have not paid dues will not be rechartered (registered) and not eligible for Troop activities (meetings/camp outs etc) until dues are paid.  

Payment can be made by cash/check/account at any Troop meeting or by credit card at our online store page   

PLEASE reach out to SteveMichaud,  Mike Pezzetti or Bill Magnotta if you are facing any challenges with this payment. 

Due to increasing Council registration fees we can no longer register boys with unpaid Dues so to avoid missing out on Troop activities, please make sure your Dues get paid!
