Troop 140

Attention all Scouts and Scouters,

Sam Green needs your help - Sam is completing his final plans for his
Eagle Project. The project Sam has been approved to do is the following;

Sam is providing some needed projects at The Heritage Green Park
Development which is located just South of Interstate 94 - just past the
Hudson Hospital. The park has a large play structure for the children and
there is a basketball court and a very large field for the children to run
and play.

Sam has decided to put in a large cement bench for parents to sit and
watch their children play which is near the play structure. Sam is also
putting in a 20 foot by 20 foot patio with paver stones - this will be the
primary project as we will need to put down a layer of sand and then the
paver stones which is also near the play structure. All of the rest of
the
work has already been completed. The finishing touch will be a rather
large 8 foot picnic table that Sam will have completed by the time we
meet.

Here are the directions to the park;

Take the frontage road past the hospital called Stageline Rd heading East.

The Heritage Green Development is past Red Cedar Development - take
a right into Heritage Green and take a left on Heritage Blvd and then a
right
on Friendskeep Green - take another right on Promenade and you will see
the play structure on the left. It is a huge play structure.

The dates for us to meet at the Heritage Green Park will be Saturday Sept
10th with a rain date of Sunday Sept 11th.

Please meet us at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning and if it rains - then we
will meet at 1:00 PM on Sunday.

Please bring work gloves, a hat and maybe some sun screen. We will
provide a dining fly to get out of the sun, water/soda, snacks and Pizza.
If there are any adults who have experience in putting paver stones in we
really need and appreciate your help and guidance.


Please make sure you put these dates on the family calendar and if it
is possible, could you let Sam know of your willingness to help. At the
end of the project Sam will provide names and work hours to the troop for
recording purposes. We will send out one more announcement when the
actual
work dates get closer. According to extended weather forcast - it should
be
sunny with a high at 70 degrees with a breeze.

Yours in Scouting,

Sam Green
