Development

Salute to Scouting has exceeded the 50% mark and is a $210,000 toward our $400,000 goal! Thanks so much to our Honorees Ambassador Chris Egan and his wife Jean, as well as Bill Bacic and all the great folks at Deloitte.
The inaugural Community Event has exceeded its development goal and will be held on October 17th

Sunday’s Globe South Section featured a story about youth non-profit fundraising …. Not surprisingly the Scouts from Pack 42 in Quincy “stole the show” with their winning attitude, courteous Scouts and three great photos!

Child Safety

Thanks to TD Bank for sponsoring our Child Safety Event. And Senator Scott Brown who will deliver the keynote address. And thanks also to Michael Durkin and the United Way for their help and support in promoting the event. Additional thanks to Jetta Bernier, Executive Director for Mass Citizens for Children has agreed to help facilitate the program. We have dozens of enthusiastic participations looking forward to opening a dialogue between organizations and helping protect our youth.  The event will be held on November 6th at the TD Garden.

The Conservation Easement funding for TL Storer continues to progress toward goal. We were recently awarded $125,000 from Open Space Institute.  The Bear Paw Foundation continues to stay on target and we can expect the full realization of these funds and the final debt elimination sometime in 2014.

Thanks to everyone for all your help! Looking forward to a great year end!
