Some last minute announcements before Friday.

 

First of all, due to a lack of participation from the Jackalope patrol, we will be combining the Geckos and the Jackalopes into one patrol.

I would also like a list of all the items that people would be willing to lend for the survival games. here's the list so far.

 

Gary H: 2 sets of 3-way radios, 1 GPS

Brad S: 1 set of 2-way radios, 1 GPS

Eric L: 1 pair of binoculars. 

 

If you could bring these to the church on Friday, if you haven't already given then to Terry, that would be great.

 

Thanks,

Matthew N, SPL
