Boy Scouts Seek Help
Bv JULIAN B. CULVERN
The Daniel Boone Council of the
Boy Scouts of America which pro
vides the scouting program for more
than 6,000 scouts in fourteen counties
nearby-including MADISON, is seek
ing financial assistance so as to be
able to continue this service.
The 1986 budget for the council is
$311,000 whereas they expect to be
able to collect $62,000 from in
dividuals and corporations as tax
deductable gifts (sustaining member
ship enlistment). Also, much of the
budget is met by United Way of
Asheville, plus other income sources.
The goal which has been set for
Madison County is embarrasingly
low ($500)-and the reason for this is
that this figure is about all that has
been contributed the past several
years. Surely the people and
businesses in this large county could
do much better then this-in fact this
year it will be much better-since
there have been no volunteers the
past few years seeking aid from the
people in Madison. This writer would
like to convince the council that we
can, indeed, do better in Madison
County.
Any size contribution from in
dividuals and businesses would be
joyously received by the Daniel
Boone Council, BSA, Box 8125,
Asheville, N.C. 28814-and Madison
County will get credit for your con
tribution. Also, if anyone has any
questions regarding this fund raising
annual event please contact this
writer at anytime-Julian B. Culvern,
155 Roberts Hill Rd., Marshall, N.C.
28753-or if you prefer a phone call
would be welcome. ' ? : ?
