NO meeting on Monday, 11/28 and troop update

Just a reminder that the boys voted to cancel Monday's meeting since there is no school that day.  We will continue to meet at St. Camillus through the end of December, so we will see you on December 5.  Have your voices ready to practice Christmas Carols...our meeting on December 12 will be at the Shenango Presbyterian Senior Care in New Wilmington, so our meeting on December 5 will be filled with song!!
