Scout Patch Collectors

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter April 2, 2017

We tried a lot of things to get people to come out to the show. One of the things I’d like to do is get an email chain going or some other way that TOR organizers can share ideas and improve their events. I’m no expert but I have a skin in the game and I’m very sympathetic to the responsibility to put on a good event.

Our pack leadership will get together soon and come up with some after-action ideas to make next years event even better. I’m going to continue to gather feedback from the attendees and so far we’ve got a good list started. Looking ahead save the date for April 6-7 2018. We have to work around Easter so that looks like the best weekend to host it.

Another feature we may try to add next year is a silent auction. Some folks were disappointed we didn’t have one this year. However, we felt like we needed to focus on the core issues the first year. Hopefully during the year some local folks will give the pack donations and we can add that as a fundraiser for next years event.

My first month at the Sleepy Poet Antique Mall has closed and I have made back the investment in getting everything moved in. Renting a Uhaul and spending three days running around is now water under the bridge. Several folks at the TOR said they had already stopped by and made some purchases.
