Our 5th annual Bike Sale is done and what a fantastic success it was!
First, a big thank you to all the troop members that took time out of their busy weekend schedules and helped us out Friday evening at the Legion and today at the Common. Without everyone's help this event would not be the big event that it has become. I had countless people telling me that they now look forward to the sale and plan on attending - you are building a legacy for the Troop in our community!
Secondly, special thanks to Scott Parr. Scott was the mastermind behind this year's sale and did much of the heavy lifting to ensure all the details were taken care of. Thank you Scott!
Lastly....we earned more money this year then in any prior year. The sale continues to grow each year and the Troop will certainly benefit from the proceeds of the sale. Want to know how much we earned come find out at the Troop meeting this week!
Troop 437 will be conducting a 9/11 Flag Ceremony and remembrance ceremony at Willow Manor in Lowell.

This week the Troop will be putting the finishing touches on the potting benches being made for Westford Academy. This will involve sanding and staining the tables. This activity will be held at Mr. McKeen's house which is located at 29 Steeple Chase Circle.
Since this meeting will involve staining please wear clothing that you don't mind (or your parents don't mind) if you get some stain on it. No need to wear Class-As this week.
Most of this meeting will be held outdoors and in an unheated garage - please dress appropriately for the weather.
