Our Ice Cream Social celebrating the Nation's 235th Birthday and the Council's 27th was celebrated on July 5th at the Council Home. Prigel Creamery on Long Green Road gave us an introduction to their farm  operation on the big screen and we also sampled their home made ice cream afterward along with our birthday cake.

We'll see if there is interest for a tour of the creamery to watch them make ice cream. The summer scavenger hunt project is underway under the leadership of brother John Canoles. There are currently 18 registered participants and all but 3 are students at SJE school. There are over 50 questions for the sleuths to solve by canvassing various areas throughout the local Harford and Baltimore Counties areas. Responses are due during the first week of September after the kids return to school. Winners will be announced and prizes distributed at one of the school and / or Church programs.

We are still trying to develop plans for a council family picnic. Anyone interested in helping out is requested to contact Tom Zaegel (PGK) or Joe Wenderoth (GK) as soon as possible. We would like to do something on a weekend at the end of August or early September.

The Schmidt family was recognized as Family of the Month at our July Social Meeting. Jim Sr has been an invaluable leader of the Home Committee and keeps our facility in great working order. Jim Jr leads our Baseball Concession team with his retail experience and savvy. He spends many hours for LGVC at Camden Yards ensuring that we are successful in this important fund raiser. Between them they form much of the energy that make us a successful organization.
