The Association was originally created as a non-profit by Larry Teshara and Rod Dore for the sole purpose of opening a bank account to be used to park money for reunions.  As such, it was inactive most of the time, and eventually the non-profit status expired.  Given that we have lost our leader, and have gotten older and scattered across the country, the inclination of those of us actively involved was to transition to a sort of \u201ccash as you go\u201d operation should we have cause to gather again.<\/span><\/p>\n

But some of us offered a different vision.  It was suggested that we could use our combined resources to both honor Larry and live up to our Scouting commitments.  The concept is to solicit donations from the Association, with the goal of making a contribution to a worthy cause at the end of each year.  That cause would be determined by suggestions, and some sort of vote, by those members of the Association who wish to participate.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have now completed the process of recertifying the Association as a non-profit organization.  The officers are:  Horace Green, President\/CEO; Joel Wiener, Secretary-Treasurer; and members of the Board Rod Dore, Craig Hoffman, Terry McAteer, and Wayne Schafer.  <\/span><\/p>\n

We believe that this is exactly the kind of devotion to community and to Scouting ideals that Larry constantly preached to us.  Let\u2019s make this happen as an homage to the contributions he made to each of our lives.  We welcome your thoughts and suggestions, either via email or in the ear of your favorite board member.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the greatest troop?<\/span><\/p>\n
