Reminder - Raffle Items needed for the Troop 2 Annual Awards and Recognition Banquet on May 19th

The Annual Banquet is quickly approaching, and as in the past we are asking scout families to help us fill the raffle table with items.

This raffle is the sole fundraiser for the Eagle Scout Scholarship. Last year, through the generous donations of Troop 2 families we were able to raise fund several Eagle Scout Scholarships. The Eagle Scout Scholarship is available to any scout who achieves the rank of Eagle Scout upon successful completion of a semester of higher education.

Your help is needed to make this year 's raffle a success. Please consider donating an item to the raffle or partnering with another scout family to donate an item. Another option this year is to consider making a small monetary contribution in lieu of an item. The contribution can be any amount ($5-$10 or whatever amount you are comfortable with). These contributions add up quickly and allow us to purchase a large raffle item. Please send contributions to the weekly scout meeting with your son in a sealed envelope- clearly marked - "Eagle Scout Scholsrship Raffle Contribution".

Past items have run the gamut from giftcards, gift certificates to local establishments and services, outdoor equipment and scouting items, gift baskets and handmade quilts.

Items can be brought to the Monday night scout meeting or can be droppedoff at 79 Front Street.

Kindly contact Teresa Quinton at 781-340-7446 /trjq@comcast.net or Michelle Donahue at 781-337-2182 if you need an item picked up or have any questions.

We would like to receive all items by May 16th.
