   first popcorn shipment will arrive there on September 24 at 7:30am.	The

   Church in Cary.  The 3rd floor meeting room will have signs leading to it.

5. Training - Will Highsmith (via e-mail):  The Sept. 26th Mega Training at
   Cary First Baptist Church is up on the Council Calendar and they are taking
   reservations for the course.  He needs someone to coordinate and instruct
   the Varsity session.  University of Scouting is on Nov. 7th and registration
   is on-line.	The Woodbadge Critter Dinner is on Sept. 27th.	He is looking
   to schedule a BALOO course in November.  The training records database
   project is awaiting some software fixes before they resume testing.

   a Flag Ceremony.  Please contact Rodger or Chris to let them know you are
   coming and show up at 6:45 pm for the 7:30 pm program start.

   Scouting For Food - Chris Meyer (via e-mail)  In the last year our District
   has collected more than 10 tons of food that has been donated to local
   charities.  We had set a goal of 10 tons and we have surpassed that goal.
   Thanks to all the units that did the work to help us with SFF.

10. Our annual District Business Meeting date was discussed.  We will probably
    hold it at our November 5, 2009 District meeting as we cannot hold it on
    December 3, 2009 as we are going to hold our District Awards and
    Recognition Event on that night.


 Committee Members of the Month: Kristin and Chris Meyer for their outstanding
 work in helping our 2009 Scouting For Food program go over our 10 ton goal.
