IMPORTANT NOTICES and UPCOMING EVENTS:
-
2010 Scouting For Food is here! Bag Pick-up is this Saturday, February 6th, from 9AM to Noon. All food collected should be dropped off by 1PM at the Brazos Food Bank. Note: Some of the flyers that were handed out incorrectly listed the Houston Food Bank as the recipient of the food instead of the Brazos Food Bank. Just a heads up in case you get questions about that.

The Arrowmoon District bids farewell and good luck to Joseph Guerra, our former District Executive, who was promoted and is now heading up the Mustang District. Thanks for all your help and support. You will be missed.
