Piedmont Council Newsletter October, 2002 Issue

Piedmont Council Newsletter

October, 2002 Issue

Deadline for article Submission: October 1, 2002

Audience for Newsletter: Unlike previous issues, this is a community-wide mailing. This means it goes to people who may not be familiar with the Council and its activities (e.g., people with grown children, people whose children have chosen not to join Scouting or Venturing units, people with young children, and people with no children.) Please keep this audience in mind when writing your articles!
