Projectoree 2003
Newsletter #5, 5/6/2003

Greetings to All.

I hope everyone has recovered from the weekend.  Overall consensus is that it was another great Projectoree, with only a few minor glitches. We dodged a real bullet on the weather - unbelievable how wrong the forecasts were. Though it's hard to complain, I will note that the overall attendance was down about 50 from the estimates, and I'm sure the dire predictions had something to do with that.  Oh well....

Some "first issues" on our wrap-up:

1) Receipts Due ASAP
If you have receipts to submit for Projectoree reimbursement, please submit them immediately.  By May 16th at the latest, please.

2) Equipment Return
Some Equipment has already been returned.  I would like to get the rest this weekend, preferably on Sunday (I have a most-of-the-day Scout outing on Saturday).  Remember to call me on my Scout phone to make sure I'm here before you come over.

3) Annual Projectoree Evaluation Meeting at Joe's Pizza - Forget It!
Since attendance at this meeting over the past 3 - 4 years has been negligible, I am bagging it this year, and probably into the future as well.  HOWEVER, if you have a critique or suggestions, please feel free to email them to me.  Always remember, we are always looking to improve, even if only incrementally now, this having been the 10th iteration. The Scout and Scouter feedback is a large part of what makes the Projectoree a perennially excellent event.

4) Publicity
Troop 149 is responsible for publicity this year.  If you have a particularly excellent photo, I am sure they would like to have a copy for their articles.  Contact Dave Navarre at navarre_dave-at-yahoo.com to arrange a drop off.
