D, Whicker organized the project with the Scouts. We would like to thank the people who supported us in this sale. Future Plans ~ The one set back of the past seagon was the lack of help available for the group projects. As a result some of the required work was never done. Administration also was very poor due to insufficient people. As a result, one of the requirements for registration next year will be the placement of one of the parents on a working committee within the organization. We also hepe to have a tenative program for the full year set up. J. Rogers Group Committee Chairman.
