Bowling + Fun = Success!

Guys,

I was wandering around Strike last night absolutely bowled over (sorry) by the number of people enjoying themselves.

Just seeing so many smiles, entire families letting loose on the pins, friendly rivalries, and good times made the fundraising aspect quite secondary.  What I saw last night was a true expression of Community, and we should be very proud.

We haven't haven't gone to the bank just yet, but here are the initial results:
Tickets sold: 383
Net proceeds to the troop: $1,907

A special You Sold How Many? award goes to the Beddow family for chalking up 39 tickets.  Fantastic!  Well-earned Whittaker's chocolate coming their way.
There is a tough competition for second place, but we'll let you know when the judges have been sufficiently bribed to render a decision.

What's good too is that I think Strike did pretty well out of this, compared to a typical Tuesday night.  I certainly hope that we can partner up again.

Thanks to Ross Pritchard for putting together a great event and a huge fundraiser!

Everyone's arms can rest up this week, as there will be no Scouts this Thursday.
Quiz Night is coming up quickly on 6 November!
