Senior Patrol Leader - 85% (when unable to attend, must advise Scoutmaster AND Assistant Senior Patrol Leader)
Assistant Senior Patrol Leader - 85% (when unable to attend, must advise Scoutmaster)
Patrol Leaders - 2/3 of meetings (When unable to attend, must advise Assistant Patrol Leader & ASPL)

Last Names:
A-G Hors D' Oeuvres
H-M Desserts
N-S Fruit
T-Z Veggies & dip, snack items
Punch and paper products are taken care of.
We appreciate our families helping out with the different items so that we have a good variety of food.

CANDLE SALES FUNDRAISER
Candle sales forms were handed out at the last Parent Meeting on November 18th. 100% of the profits ($2.50/candle) will go to the seller!
All orders (and payment) are due December 4th.
Additional forms will be available at this week's meeting! See the Troop 14 email newsletter for more information.

ENJOY THE CITY COUPON BOOKS - OUR LATEST FUNDRAISER
These coupon books are specifically tailored for the Lakeshore! Included are coupons for: Orchard Market, Arby's, Culver's, G & L in Grand Haven, Great Harvest Bread, Marco's, Old Boy's Brewhouse, Dick's, and 92 other businesses located on the lakeshore! Heck - there are $40 in Orchard Market coupons alone!
At a cost of only $20, these books are a steal - considering $8 per book goes into each scout's account (100% of the proceeds)! PLUS, every family that sells 4 books will receive a 5th one FREE! These are great Christmas gifts!
Books will be passed out at the 11/27 meeting. Book orders and undamaged books not sold will need to be returned by December 11th with payment. Additional books ordered will be available for pick-up on December 18th at the meeting. See the Troop 14 email newsletter for more information.

NEWSPAPER RECYCLING TRUCK UPDATE
Unfortunately, we were unable to fill the truck in the Tri-Cities.
But, to get a better percentage payout (after initial expenses), we have moved the truck to Norton Shores at the corner of Norton and McCracken (the north parking lot of the old Mona Shores Administration Building). Hopefully, the larger demographic area will help. We are asking that Troop families bring their papers (and those of your family/friends/co-workers) to the Troop meetings where we will have a green tub at the gym door to collect them.
