MCGC Scholarship Applications
There has been some confusion as to the due date of the MCGC Scholarship applications. The due date on the form is March 1st. However when the applications were handed out all guard members were asked to return them to me by Saturday February 21. This was for two reasons. 1st it gives me a few days to look them over and add the items that I am required to add to the application and a few days for fixing things should there be anything wrong and 2nd it give the kids who forgot to get things done a short grace period.
I will take applications up to Friday, February 27, 2009 so that I can get them put together and mailed out by March 1. All applicatons must be turned in to me so I can sign them. I will mail them to the scholarship committee in one big envelope.
Hope this clears things up.

Housing Arrangements for MCGC Championships
This year we will be staying at the Hampton Inn Saginaw. We currently have 13 rooms reserved for guard members and chaperones. I will have a sign up sheet for chaperones later this week. If you don't like the idea of rooming with three middle school or high school kids and would like to reserve your own room for Friday night or would like go get a room for Saturday night please call the Hampton Inn to make your reservation as soon as possible. Rooms are going fast. The group rate we were able to get was $64 + tax and fees etc. The total should be just under $68 per room.
Please note: Friday rooms are for for Friday only. If you are getting a room for Suturday plan on having to check out and check back in.
Notes about the hotel. . .The Hampton Inn offers free wireless internet and a deluxe continental breakfast of over thirty items! There is an outdoor pool but it will be closed for the season. They told me that no ice skating is allowed!
At this point I would plan on meeting at LMS to leave no later than 4:00pm on Friday. More details to come later.
