Thanks to all who participated in our February Roundtable, and apologies for our technical difficulties during the session – we are still developing our skills on remote operation and live “zoom streaming”. Slides from the session are posted below, along with the safety sheet on cold weather preparations, a “save the date” poster for our annual district dinner, the brainstorming list on main session topics, and the listing of desired Scouts BSA breakout topics. If you have any other topic suggestions, for the main session or either of our breakouts, please send Dennis Gleason a note. In addition, we are always looking for knowledgeable presenters on these or other topics – if you have any suggestions in this regard, please forward them. I hope you’ll plan to attend our March session, Wed. Mar. 1, 7PM, at the Marshfield Boys & Girls Club.
