Golden Gift Certificates are Being Mailed Soon!

We will be mailing Golden Gift Certificates to our shoppers in early May. Make sure they submit their certificates to your organization by sending them a message reminding them to look for their certificate! Encourage them to donate their points to your organization as soon as they get their certificate so they can help your organization receive a larger portion of the payout.

Venture Quest Update

Venture Quest Weekend is coming the last weekend in April. The cost is $40.00 per person. We will need this from you by the first meeting in April (on the 2nd). We need to register on time. Judy has a list of people that signed up in January. If any adults want to take the Venture training, please let Judy know. It is offered that Saturday of the event at the camp.

 

Also, please save your Ukrop's Golden Gift certificates for our crew.  We are participating again this year!

Thursday Night Meeting

This Thursday, February 5th is our regularly scheduled meeting at 7:30. One of the vice presidents will be leading the meeting unless Sean can be there. Judy would like to remind you that we wear class A uniforms to our meetings unless otherwise decided.  We will hopefully have a new venturer joining us for the meeting. Please invite a friend to come that may be interested in caving. David is in charge of the FOS dinner at our next meeting, so he may want to plan that.

 

The program will be led by Carole Noble-Park and Michele Park concerning caving. The cost for the caving trip is $45.00 because we will be spending the night at Natural Bridge.  Food is not included, so you need to bring around $20.00 because you will be responsible for paying for your own meals for Saturday night supper, Sunday breakfast, and lunch.  Carole will be explaining exactly what you need to bring for caving. On Sunday, we may be able to visit the Natural Bridge and Foamhenge. 

 

Please bring your $10.00 deposit for the caving on Thursday.  In March, we will be taking the NRA certification for pistols.  The trip to Cavalier will finish up this certification.

In April, is the venture quest weekend at T. Brady Saunders camp.

In May, we have the scuba certification weekend at the Lake.

In June, batteau?

In July, Key Largo trip. etc.

Scuba Update

This Saturday the 31st of January there is another Discover Scuba offering from 1-2:30 at the Hopewell Community Center. The cost is $35.00 and is given by the Dive Center. If you are interested in going please let Judy know ASAP so that she can give them a head count.

Those that would like to go this Saturday to the Hopewell Community Center, can arrive at 10:30 am and stay until 1:30. So you can have a longer lesson for the same price.

Also, Judy asked if they could set something up at the Chickahominy YMCA again and she said she would call tomorrow and see if we could set up a 1:00 to 5:00 session there so it would be closer for us. Judy will let us know if she gets a day.

The weekend that we will be completing our scuba certification is May 23-24th at Lake Rawlings. We will be camping and anyone who would like to come is welcome.This will be the Dive Training Camp-out. Put this on the calendar if you are interested in receiving full certification.
