9/25 Community Fund Raiser honering Pam Isom
|
|
Please join us and/or share the flyer with your company to attend on Sunday, September 25 at 4 PM at the Elks Lodge in Fremont.
|
Pam Isom, our honoree, is the President and CEO of ICE Safely Solutions and has worked with large companies in the Bay Area including Golden State Warriors. Please share the flyer with other companies you know. The greater the distribution the more success we will have in generating funds for GGAC to continue providing scouting at a higher level in GGAC.
|
This is a non-uniform event. This is a great event for community leaders to network with others and to learn about safety systems to keep their employees and their families safe. We will also be honoring three Eagle Scouts that had different journeys on their trail to Eagle – 2 female and one male. This event is a way for companies to provide a small gift of appreciation to some employees and to have an advertisement in the comprehensive program book that will be distributed.
|
Thanks for all your contribution and time spent helping to build the leaders of the future in scouting.
