New Location and Leadership for Roundtable
Friendship District, meet Dana Poplawski. Dana, meet Friendship District. Many of you may already know Dana from her service with Pack 696, Troop 191, Crew 4696, Crew 500, Pack 61, and Roundtable staff. Dana has stepped up with many ideas for improving our roundtable format and returning to a training-focus agenda from years past. Leaders and parents at all levels are encouraged to attend to gain valuable insight into program ideas and upcoming district offerings.
While the dining hall at camp has served as an interim location for District Roundtables, we are happy to announce a new location for Roundtable. Starting in February, Roundtables will be held at the first Monday of each month at Ocean Community Church at 1492 Route 72 West, Manahawkin (between the Wawa and Cumberland Farms).
