PRESENTATIONS

 

If you would like to communicate something to the group at the Joint Session, Boy Scout Breakout, and/or Cub Scout Breakout, please contact Bob Jobst jobstsr@aol.com before the Roundtable, thanks. You will need to supply flyers to hand out. If you are in attendance, you will be introduced so that interested people can talk to you later, but verbal presentations will be limited.

 

ORDER OF THE ARROW

The Sanhican Chapter of the Sakuwit Lodge Number 2 holds monthly meetings on the same time schedule as the MAD Roundtable.  This meeting is separate from the Roundtable, but conveniently nearby.  Please remind your Troop OA Representatives and other members of your unit that are members of the Order of the Arrow to attend these meetings.
