August is Bunnings BBQ and ARAP - read on!

Hi all.

A huge month ahead for 1st Coburg Scouts, so a few dates to lock into your diary!

BUNNINGS BBQ FUNDRAISER SUNDAY 7 AUGUST 8AM-4PM

The second of three fundraisers this year we managed to snaffle for the Group at the Bunnings Warehouse-Coburg.

We already have a number of families helping out, however we still have plenty of places during lunch peak period and afternoon.

It is a fun day and a great chance for our Group to promote itself to the community.  Older Cubs, Scouts and Venturers in uniform are welcome to join their parents to help with cash and drinks, or talk to interested kids and families about our Group.

If you have an hour or two to spare - contact 1stcoburgscoutsgroup@gmail.com with your name, mobile number and when you can help out.

ARAP (Annual Report and Presentation) TUESDAY 16 AUGUST FROM 7PM

This is our equivalent of the Group's AGM.  All parents are welcome and we strongly encourage at least one parent from each family to join us at this important annual event where the Group's management reports back to parent's on the last financial year, and elections are held for the Parent Committee.  Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be served on the night. Election details as follows:

NOTICE
Nominations are now open for the following Parent Committee roles:
  • President
  • Secretary 
  • Treasurer 
  • Fund-raising co-ordinator
  • Quartermaster
Nominations are to be sent to the Group Leader, Connie Tuddenham via email before the meeting to candttuddenham@bigpond.com

Nominations received for the above roles will be voted on at the ARAP Meeting on 16th August, with successful candidates taking up their positions immediately after the ARAP meeting.

If you have any questions about these roles, or wish to nominate for one of them, in the first instance give me a call as I would be more than happy to talk through the roles and what they entail. My number is 0403 812 215.
