Because of our commitment to Hazlet Clean Communities they have offered their final cleanup for the year to the Troop. We will be working with the Hazlet Thunderettes during this clean up.  EVENT DETAILS September 30 (Saturday) 8AM-9AM at Natco Park (Raritan High School - 401 Middle Rd, Hazlet, NJ 07730). Meet at 07:50AM on the side of the High School under the solar panels. We will be cleaning in the vicinity of the entrance to the park. We need to have a minimum of 40 attendees to continue to participate in these Clean Communities Events. Please email RSVP@T137.org if you will be able to participate. Include the full name of all those who will be participating in the cleanup; parents, siblings, and friends are welcome. This is an opportunity to raise money for your Troop while assisting Hazlet Clean Communities with 1 hour of community service. The township will provide all materials for the cleanup (you should bring your own work gloves if you have them). Don't forget to bring a filled water bottle. SAFETY RULES FROM HAZLET CLEAN COMMUNITIES NO SANDALS, CLOSED TOED SHOES ONLY & ABSOLUTELY NO SHORTS. If you do not comply with these safety rules, you will not be able to participate in the cleanup.
