So excited for a new year with all of you!

Swearing in ceremony was awesome! Good Job on the meeting after conducted and taught by the youth volunteers! The week was a busy one with our meeting the next day, Retirement Home visit following. Then Friday our Halloween Carnival for the city. Saturday ended the week with the Retreat. Oh, so awesome to hear from Katja Neil from West Germany and her experiences with growing up by East Germany, communism, watching the Berlin wall come down, loving America for "keeping them alive," and joining the US Army! Then Games, and unity experiences! After, we got to hear from Claire Peterson a refugee volunteer who informed us of their need, and some interesting stories! We planned to set up a soccer game with the refugees in the spring! So fun!

Our meeting November 2nd went well! We are loving our new council. You guys are dedicated with a big group supporting our meeting, and activities. We planned the Veteran Program for Saturday. Be at the cemetary at 9:00 to do flags, then 10:00 for the program! Boys if you want to be in the flag ceremony wear your Boy Scout Shirts! Also, thanks to Chenille and Alli for the city council report Tuesday! Way to go!
