Troop 349 Plans Spaghetti Dinner By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Will Russell, quartermaster of Boy Scout Troop 349 of Mountville, has intimate knowledge of all of the troop’s gear. For the past few years, it has been Will’s responsibility to inventory and inspect the tents, cooking pots, and other camping accoutrements owned by the troop. “The water jugs are breaking down, and the coolers are cracked from where we dropped them,” Will reported. The troop has slated those items for replacement, and proceeds from the group’s annual spaghetti dinner will make the purchases possible. Two years ago, spaghetti dinner proceeds enabled Troop 349 to buy a trailer in which the troop hauls gear to campsites. Troop membership is increasing, so tents will be on the shopping list too. The items are not inexpensive. “It’s quality gear because they camp in
extreme conditions,” said troop committee chair Vanessa Reisig. “They camp (when the temperature is) in the teens.” The spaghetti dinner will be held on Saturday, March 2, from 4 to 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church (UMC), 100 W. Main St., Mountville. A snow date has been set for Saturday, March 23. The all-you-can-eat meal will include spaghetti and meatballs, tossed salad, garlic bread, and desserts. Glutenfree pasta will be available. Separate prices for admission have been set for adults and for children ages 3 to 10. Children under age 3 may eat free of charge. Troop members are preselling tickets, or admission may be paid at the door. Folks may also purchase meals to go; containers will be provided. “It’s also a community outreach,” Reisig remarked. “We have families that come in and eat in large groups. It’s an inexpensive night out for families.” See Troop 349 pg 8
