Good evening everyone
 
We have a lot to do before this season's summer camp and time will go very quickly over the next few weeks.  We have three meetings before camp.  This coming Monday, Monday the 26th and a special meaning on July 6th. which is only 4 days before we leave.  The evening of the 6th will be a meeting because this year July 4th falls on a Monday.  The meeting on the 6th will be a trailer cleaning and packing meeting.  You will also need all of your forms and paperwork by that evening.

Good evening everyone
 
Tomorrow is Memorial Day.  Please read on to see what we are doing.
 
Memorial Day morning flag ceremony (and ceremonies)
Monday May 30th.
If you choose to follow the morning presession and do the junket, The first ceremony starts at 6am at Baker community center.  From there the procession will go to South cemetery 6:20ish, then to North Graveyard 6:40ish and finally to Union Cemetery.
(I strongly suggest you go straight to Union Cemetery)
If you only want to come directly to Union Cemetery we will be meeting at Union at 6:45 Monday morning.  By meeting at 6:45 it allows us to get ourselves settled in and prepared for this final commemorative act of the morning.
This is a full Class A event.
 
Memorial Day Pancake Breakfast
Directly following the final flag ceremony
Monday morning after the flag ceremony we will be holding the pancake breakfast at the Veterans Center again as we did last year.  Troop One will be serving breakfast between 7:45a and 9:30a that Monday morning.   
 
Memorial Day Parade
6th and Walnut 9:50a
Directly following the breakfast we will be participating in this year's Memorial Day parade.  We will be #9 in line, fairly close to the front of the parade.  Our meeting spot is 6th and Walnut street.  The parade will be from 9:50a to 10:45a Monday morning.  As we are the flagship troop in the area we are inviting all Troop One members past and present to join us marching down Main Street.  If you know anyone who would like to march with us please have them join in.
 
NOTE:  If you are in the marching band and will be playing tomorrow morning, your participation in the parade will still be counted.
