First Flagship City Trade O Ree
The French Creek Council is holding their first Trade O Ree in more than twenty years. The event will occur on October 16th and 17th at the St. Francis Xavier Parish Center in McKean, PA. The council is holding several Collections Merit Badge sessions and is pushing attendance among lodge members and the troops but is also encouraging long time collectors wishing to sell their collections to attend. The Parish center can accommodate more than 80 tables and already has a good number of tables still reserved. You can download the flyer here:
Fred “Ernie” McClain Memorial TOR Report
Hello all,
Sorry for not posting anything for a while but I have a few updates that will be coming out in the next few weeks.
This was a successful first year TOR. There were 28 tables sold with 76 people in attendance. The TOR almost sold out of tables but there is room to expand for next year. Most of the feedback was very positive. There were a few lessons to be learned but I felt over all it was very well done. We received a great number of patches to be auctioned off during our summer camp auctions to raise money for Monaken Lodge 103.I would like to thank all in attendance and that supported us in creating this event.
Look for a flier to be out in the next few months advertising for next years event. We will be offering a free table to any lodge that would like to sell any of their lodges patches. If you have any ideas or further comments about this event please message me directly.
Thanks and hope to see you next year
Shane

This may be the last participation award flap from the lodge as discussions have moved to a round with rockers for various years and special events.
