Food Drive & Weather, or not . . .

Den leaders --

As for the Saturday forecast, the plan B is . . . there is no plan B! If the weather is truly horrible, as in Level 2 or 3 Snow Emergency horrible for Licking County, we can try to ask for the Food Pantry Network truck to come on Mar. 15, Blue & Gold Saturday in the morning, but we have limited means to let folks know what's happened.

So just use your best judgment, do what you can, but assume that we will still have the truck at Opera House Park in downtown Granville, on Broadway next to St. Luke's Episcopal Church right in front of the big bell, from 10 am to Noon -- this Saturday, March 8.

If the county sheriff's office puts us at Snow Emergency 2 or 3, i will get the Advocate paper and website, radio and TV stations to post "Granville Food Drive postponed to next Saturday" and we'll do what we can then. But just scuzzy weather alone doesn't cancel this Saturday! It will impact our giving, but i think trying to re-set to next week would drop it even farther.

Yours in Scouting,
Jeff Gill
