Troop 1001,

It’s that time of year again that we start gearing up for the Cottonwood Art Festival. To start, I’d like to welcome our two new committee chairs, Jill Belton & Chris Dudley. The festival is only five weeks away, and as many of you know, Cottonwood is one of the Troop's biggest fundraisers, so support is needed from everyone throughout the weekend. The dates are May 1^st through May 4^th.

PLEASE READ the attachment for details of the event.
