BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Troops 533 & 1907 FUNDRAISER

Boy Scouts from Troops 533 and 1907 announce their annual mulch and fertilizer sale – all orders will be delivered right to your door! The Boy Scout motto is “be prepared.” Well, Troops 533 and 1907 have taken that to heart, and for the last several years have run a local mulch/fertilizer sale to earn money to fund each year’s activities and purchase equipment. This year, they are preparing to experience the rugged outdoors at scout camps in Sweeny, Texas and Indiana. Scouts will also be attending Sea Base in the Bahamas. Such ambitious activities would not be possible without the support of the community! In addition to camping, the boys were able to participate in many service projects, including Wreaths Across America, Scouting for Food, Christmas Tree Recycling and completing multiple Eagle projects. Troops 533 and 1907 are gearing up for another great year and wish to extend a thank you to everyone who contributed to all the adventures and learning experiences of years past. So, if you are looking to beautify your landscape and bring your lawn back to life, all while helping your local scouts, then be sure to place your order! This year’s offerings include high quality Living Earth’s red, black, hardwood or pine bark mulch as well as Copyright © 2019 Peel, Inc.

Southwest Fertilizer’s premium or slow release fertilizer and weed n feed fertilizer. For your convenience, Scouts will be selling door to door in your subdivision beginning January 14th. If you are reading this circular and think we may miss you, please order by emailing BoyScoutsTroop533@yahoo.com. All purchases will be delivered to your home by the Scouts on February 23, 2019. Yours in Scouting, Scoutmaster Ryan Dusek (Troop 533) Scoutmaster Chad Gaulding (Troop 1907)

Team Nichols

by Andrew Nichols

For those of you who have been following the progress of Team Nichols – made up of team members of eight adults and eight teens (teacher/pastor, Rob’s co-worker, family friends, family members). Progress has been made, and momentum continues to build. Andrew says: "This year, I was honored to be nominated as a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s 2019 Student of the Year Campaign." The Student of the Year campaign is a seven-week fundraising competition to raise money to support LLS. The Mission of LLS is to find a cure for blood cancers and improve the quality of life of patients and their families through research, access to drugs, and advocacy. Team Nichols, my fundraising team, and I have high expectations to raise $35,000 with your help and support. We desire to make blood cancer a thing of the past! I am passionate about this campaign because in August 2014, the day before I entered middle school, my mom was diagnosed with a rare form of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (also known as ALL). Her cancer required 2½ years of aggressive treatment at MD Anderson. My mom’s battle with Leukemia deeply affected our family and every aspect of our lives. The only reason my mother is in alive and in remission is due to medical research breakthroughs and her clinical trial drug Ponatinib that she will take every day for the rest of her life. This breakthrough drug has been possible due to the help of LLS funding research. This campaign will help raise funds to pursue more research and develop more ways to save lives like my mom. Best of all, it gives our family and support system a chance to use our unfortunate experience to impact others in a way that offers hope and one day finds a cure for blood cancers!
