Box Elder Vanguard Blog/Inspirements

I just wanted everyone to know you are welcome to look at the inspirements we have for our group. They are easily found on our blog:

http://boxeldervanguard.weebly.com/inspirements.html

Simply hover over that lens and then go to the month. We have each of our mentors publish their own inspirements on our blog. We don't really do a newsletter because between having our inspirements posted here and then our email group, there isn't much need. However, we still put one out occasionally with birthdays and what not.

Our group is going until April 25th with our year end party on May 5th.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. wcheftammy@Msn.com
