Troop Treasurer and Other Open Committee Positions


After many of faithful years of service to the Troop, Sally Harper has decided to hang up her green eyeshades and retire as Troop Treasurer.  Words cannot adequately express our gratitude to Sally for all of her help and guidance over the years.  Sally, Mike and Patrick will always be part of the Troop 327 family, and we wish her well in all her future endeavors!

We would also like to thank Paula Gyimesi for answering the call to step in as our new Troop Treasurer!  We still have open adult leader positions for a Fundraising Chair and Outdoor Activities Chair.  If any parents or other adults would be interested in either of these two open positions, or in taking on a more active role in Troop, please reach out to Mark Hiland or Chris Kappesser.
