Million Dollar Day for Scouting: Leading in the Right Direction
Northern
Star Council is planning to kick off our Centennial Year of Scouting
Celebration by doing what no other Boy Scout Council has ever done:
Raise over $1 Million dollars in 24 hours.
Mark
your calendar to be a part of our annual Million Dollar Day for
Scouting! The two events that will kick-off our Centennial Year of
Scouting and present our annual stewardship report to the community
will be held on Wednesday, December 9 and Thursday, December 10,
2009.
Direct contributions provide nearly one quarter of the council's
budget. Our 2010 campaign utilizes the "Million Dollar Day for
Scouting", a council-wide blitz day for our 2010 Friends of Scouting
Campaign, to reach $1,000,000 of our $2,750,000 campaign goal by the
end of this 24-hour period. Please consider this your invitation to
join us and feel welcome to invite your Scouting friends and other
supporters to these great events.
The
Saint Paul Leadership Breakfast, on Wednesday, December 9 - 7:15 a.m.
will be held at the St. Paul Crowne Plaza Riverfront Hotel, Great River
Ballroom (11 East Kellogg Boulevard). The program will feature a
