Help Wanted: Membership Chair

A volunteer position of need that we have at the Council level is a membership chairperson. That role on our board has been vacant for some time. This person would manage the membership activities of the Council, overseeing a team that would also include district-level membership chairs and other volunteers.

This is an interesting role that would best be served by someone with a marketing background or an engineering background. "Engineering??", you ask...I throw that out there because this person is as much a detail-oriented project manager as they are a marketer.

The typical workload of this role would be:

* One Council board meeting per month in Batavia
* One Membership Committee meeting per month in Batavia
* Behind-the-scenes planning, implementation and follow-up which is maybe 1 to 2 hours per week of "homework" (which has seasonal peaks with recruiting drives)

If interested in this role and helping to recruit and retain local youth, please send a letter of interest, along with a little about your background, to Council President Bob Confer at bob@conferplastics.com

Wally Hunter has passed away

It's with a heavy heart that we report that Wally Hunter, Mel's brother, has passed away. Wally was a longtime fixture of our shooting sports program at Camp and he was beloved by our scouts and scouters. Our thoughts are with the Hunter family. Rest in peace, Wally.

Here is Wally's obituary:
