District Recognition Dinner

Attention Scout Leaders, Volunteers and Parents:

2008 Chief Cornstalk District Eagle Scout and Adult Recognition Dinner

On Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. at the Logan Country Club, the Chief Cornstalk District will hold its 2007 District Adult Volunteer and Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner.  Everyone is invited to attend.   The cost of the dinner is $20.00 per person pre-registered and paid.  The price will be $25.00 per person for those who pay at the door as the caterer will charge us more for late arrivals that are not paid in the preliminary count.  We will be honoring some adult volunteers who have been active in the Scouting Program along with all Boy Scouts who attained the rank of Eagle Scout for the year 2007.  Please join me in honoring those adults who have given time to our youth and those young men who have accomplished what so few do.  Please complete the form and mail back with appropriate fees.  Our keynote speaker scheduled to attend is West Virginia Chief Supreme Court Justice, Elliot E. “Spike” Maynard.
