To Troop 805,
For Tuesday, September 1st, 2015, our troop meeting location is NOT at the Sycamore Elementary School – MPR. Please make a note on your calendar.
DATE: Tuesday, September 1st, 2015
TIME: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. (normal troop meeting hours)
LOCATION: Blackhawk Auto Museum (3700 Blackhawk Plaza Cir, Danville)
BACKGROUND:
In mid-September, Mr. David Behring will be accompanying 25 World War II Veterans to Washington DC – taking part in the “Honor Flight” trip to our Nation’s capitol to visit various memorials. Mr. Behring is one of the “Guardians” on that trip accompanying the veterans.
As part of the “Honor Flight” experience for our veterans, they will be given letters, written by school children and various youth groups like the boy scouts, to read and enjoy. These letters are “surprises” for them – letters thanking them for their service and sacrifices are very touching and comforting to them – what a great way to honor their service to our country!
TUESDAY – SEPTEMBER 1st – TROOP MEETING:
So, on Tuesday, September 1st, Mr. Behring has invited the entire troop to meet at the Blackhawk Auto Museum. Mr. Behring will be talking to our scouts and providing some background information on the “Greatest Generation” and what is the “Honor Flight” experience. He will also provide the letter head paper for the boys to write on.
After the letter writing, scouts can enjoy an evening of exploring the museum, checking out the cool cars and two very cool exhibits (Spirit of the Old West and American Jukeboxes and Gas Pumps).
A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU goes to Mr. David Behring for his generosity and for inviting us to participate in the letter writing campaign for the “Honor Flight” experience.
I look forward to seeing all scouts this coming Tuesday at the Blackhawk Museum.
Yours in Scouting,
Ray Chan

This event is part of the Josh L’s Eagle Project. I am collecting School supplies for the underprivileged children in Oakland. Let’s do our part to make a difference. The first day, we will go door-to-door dropping off flyers. The second day we will collect and deliver the school supply items.
We will need to have many drivers to take the scouts around and pass out the flyers & collect the school supplies. Please consider helping out. It will be much appreciated.
Check your email for permission slip.
