Home.6 February 2002
Greetings to All.
This is your formal reminder concerning the Projectoree Planning Meeting #1, to be held THIS
SUNDAY NIGHT, February 10th, at St. Agnes' Parish Center, 1914
N. Randolph St., Arlington. As previously noted, the meeting will start at 7:30
sharp, and you must have your representatives present and seated at that time (and
preferably by 7:15), on penalty of immediate termination. If you need
directions, email or call me by no later than
5:30pm Sunday night (after that I will be at the Parish Center, setting up). Again, if you
don't know where St. Agnes is, don't assume it's easy to find, because it won't be on a
rainy Sunday night: Ask me for directions.
As previously detailed, four Units were terminated for failure to show last year, and one
was saved from a similar fate only because a 12 year old Scout showed up. Because this
year's Projectoree mailings are going out to a much smaller group, each Unit's
representatives SHOULD CONTACT EACH OTHER to firmly establish who is coming Sunday night.
People are sick with this terrible 3-week flu that's been going around, others are out of
town on business, others are swamped at work (or home), and others didn't mark it on their
calendars and now have conflicts. Whatever. Don't assume someone else is coming if you're
not; CONFIRM IT.
***********************************************************************
