Square Account for finances
Hello everyone,
We have created a "Square" account to make things a little bit easier for financial transactions, including when we need to collect funds from families for various activities. We are going to try it out for the USS Hornet, as one option. If you are going expect an invoice from us via Square for the amount you owe. If there are any questions let us know.

Fire station visit postponed and Friends of Scouting presentation
Hello everyone,
We need to postpone our fire station visit due to conflicts the fire station is having with some inspections they are preparing for. We will reschedule later.
For those of you who are interested in helping with the playground equipment installation at Washington Union school, this is taking place Saturday beginning at 9AM. Lots of helping hands are needed.
Our next meeting is Monday night. At that meeting, Renee Forrest, our district executive, is coming to talk to the parents about the Friends of Scouting fundraising campaign. This is an effort where our Council raises funds to support Scouting programs. I have pasted a letter below with more information. During the meeting, Renee will be asking the parents to contribute whatever they can. Please read below.

Dear Parent:
I want to let you know that there will be a “Friends of Scouting”
(“FOS”) presentation at our upcoming Pack Meeting. The date for this is March 9th, 2015.
As you perhaps know, the FOS program is the yearly giving campaign
organized by the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council of the Boy Scouts of
America. The purpose of this campaign is
to generate donations from all Scout families which are then used to offer
development programs, maintain our camp properties, and provide the necessary support
that goes into running an effective Scouting organization which ultimately
benefits all Scouts in our local council.
At the presentation you will be provided a more detailed description of
the FOS program. At its conclusion, you
will be given the opportunity to indicate your support for Scouting programs in
our community. I therefore ask that you
take the time now to think about how your son benefits from our local Scouting
programs and the level of commitment you would like to make towards Friends of
Scouting as a result. By thinking about
this now, you will then be able to show that commitment when the presentation
is given.
You can also obtain more information by visiting the council’s website
at www.svmbc.org/svmbc/support-scouting/friends-of-scouting. I soft copy of the 2015
Friends of Scouting brochure can be found at the website.
Thank you for your help and support.
Sincerely,
Thursday, March 5, 2015
