Unit Service Phone-A-Thon   Dec 22 1999 22:43:0

In an effort to increase the number of Scouts reached this year by Shu-Shu-Gah Lodge, the Unit Service Committee will be holding the First Annual Phone-A-Thon on February 2, 2000. It will be at Con Edison on Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn and will begin at 7:00PM.

Each Chapter Unit Service Committee Chairman and Adviser is required to attend this important event, as are two additional Chapter members (4 in all per Chapter.) We will contact those Unit Leaders who have not yet responded to the Lodge's Unit Visitation Invitation by returning the postcard they will receive in late December. We hope to contact each of these leaders, and schedule their OA Election & Camp Promotion immediately while on the telephone. This can only be done if each Chapter Unit Service Committee is adequately represented.

If you would like to help with the Phone-A-Thon, please contact:
