Tree Planting - Windaroo Creek - Saturday 9am -11am

This Saturday between 9am and 11am the Logan City Council will be holding a Tree Planting session at the Windaroo Creek, Windaroo Rd, Bahrs Scrub/Windaroo. (Behind Windaroo Valley High School)

 

Due to the short notice on this event if you wish to attend it will be of your own desire to help in an environmentally friendly activity. It will not be an organised event with us but you can always wear your group shirt.

 

Logan City Council are looking for a sponsor for this area going forward and I have suggested it is something our Group could look at. This aligns with our aims and helps with members earning an environment badge. 

 

I will be attending to find out more on what they are proposing and to help out too.

If you are interested in being part of it for badgework please advise your leader and if attending take photos for evidence in assisting.

Fundraising update.

WORKING BEE DATES

 

Thanks to all those that have responded to being able to assist at the working bee. From the responses the date and time will be:

 

SUNDAY, 24 AUGUST - 8AM - 12PM

 

QUEST NEWSPAPER GRANT - UNSUCCESSFUL

 

Thanks to everyone who voted in the Quest Community Grants. Unfortunately we were unsuccessful in our bid to secure $1000 towards the front garden project.

 

CAR BOOT SALE POSTER PLACEMENT - PLEASE ASSIST

 

I seek your help in promoting the Car Boot Sale and Car Wash at the Den on 30 August. There are around 60 A4 double sided posters at the den on the front desk. I seek your help in getting these distributed to your work place, school and any local business or high visibility area to get it seen.

 

We can safely house 52 stalls at the den. At $20 a stall it would be $1000 in "no effort" fundraising. Add to this the Car Wash, Cake Stall and BBQ and we have a real chance of making some good money on the day.

 

The money raised is going to be put towards a new front entrance for the Hut by opening it up to the play area rather than the small staircase we currently have.

 

With 4 weeks to go, I have to date only 5 stalls booked and I now seek your help in promoting the event.

 

BEENLEIGH SPORTS CLUB RAFFLES

 

To date I have received very little nominations to assist at the Raffles at the Beenleigh Sports Club on 22, 23, 24 August.

 

I need 7 people on Friday 22 - 5:45 to 8pm, 5 people on Sat 23 & Sun 24 5:45pm to 7pm. All we do is sell tickets for the draws at the end of the timeslots.

 

I realise some of you are wanting to bring your youth members along, and restrictions may now not opting to assist. Please remember these raffles are in a place of gambling and under Scouting rules we cannot have youth members in attendance and by law they are not really allowed to sell tickets at the venue due to their age. 

 

If you cannot assist on the nights, please spread the word to friends and family to attend to support the fundraising.

 

These funds will go towards the Hut upgrades to the entrance.

EFTPOS Payments & Fundraising Help

Good afternoon families,

 

I have a couple of important announcements this week.

 

EPTOS Payments available

 

The Group is now able to accept Credit/Debit Card transactions and EPTPOS payments on a night. We have investigated the option due to the delays in Branch processing credit card payments.

 

The offering comes with additional costs to those wishing to pay this way;

• 2.4% for credit card transactions 
• 30 cents for EFTPOS.

At this time, Anne is able to process the payments on a Friday night, and until Pauline is trained - which will be Tuesday week - due to my absence - we will offer it on Tuesday after this date.

 

You will require a PIN number with your cards as we can not take signed forms and manually process.

Statements will be updated shortly with the new charges and I sent out later today.

 

ACCOUNT LINKS 

 

We have been advised your account links you have saved will not work. I will be send ing out new statements this afternoon with the new links. Our system provider did some upgrades and caused this issue. I apologise for the confusion caused.

 

 FUNDRAISING HELP

 

• CAR BOOT SALE & CAR WASH

A4 Posters are available at teh den for putting up everywhere you can get one. Please help promote this event. We can fit 52 stalls in our grounds and I would love to be able to score close to this. But I need your help to promote. 

 

Flyer for letterbox drops were handed out last week, please distribute. Unfortunately we only had 1000 produced due to the wrong flyer being sent. A second round will go out in the next two weeks of 2000 to be dropped. 

 

• CUBOREE TRIVIA - July 26 @ 5pm

$10 a head or $60 a table. Email BSGFundraiserCuboree@gmail.com to see if spaces available.

•  BEENLEIGH SPORTS CLUB RAFFLES

To date I have only 2 people on Friday August 22, and one person on Sat & Sun nights, with me as well. I need 7 on Friday, 5 on Sat & Sun. Please register your asssitance. It is 2.5 hours on Friday and 1.5 hours Sat & Sun.

 

Potential to earn $2000 from these.

•  ELIMINATORS HOT ROD SHOW CAR PARKING - 21 SEPTEMBER

Please mark this in your diaries. This is a busy day due to Cuboree starting. We normally seek the Scouts help with this as they require uniformed members helping. No Cub Scouts or Joey Scout can attend in uniform due to the dangers.

 

 With Ian (Hathi), Lisa (Jacala) and Christine (Kookaburra) plus myself all at Cuboree we need everyone else to pitch in please. It has in the past provided $1000 to the group.

 

WORKING BEE 

 

If you have not already could you please nominate when you can assist with the working bee on August 22 or 23. Email was sent out to nominate but have had little response. Please complete the forms at the desks to show your support. We have a garden entrance to put together and the shed is having new shelving added plus some other odd jobs. 

 

 

Thanks you all for the continued support and I hope you got to the end - if you did double thanks!

We have just applied for a grant via Quest Newspaper Community Grants. The grant we are seeking is for $1000 to put towards the garden at the front of the gates. Logan Council are onboard with the changes we are looking at doing.

 

Now your help, this grant is won by the number for votes we get from the public. For us to win we need everyone in the group to get behind this and vote.  

 .

Get the word out

Once voting is open you may campaign to get people supporting your idea. There are many ways you can generate excitement and support such as Facebook, Twitter, putting up flyers at your local shops and word of mouth through family and friends.

 

Anyone who wants to vote for your idea will need to register to vote on our website – they will have ten (10) votes to allocate to one or more projects.
