Are you saying that if I give 100 dollars to our local council, which is Pacific Harbors, you will match that amount? If so, You are on.

That is exactly what I am saying. And for the next 4 people who offer $100, I'll match that too. For logistics sake, my gift will probably go to national or my local council, not yours.

I would also encourage anyone else on this thread to dig deep and think what your gift can mean to a young boy struggling in today's society to become a man. Much bigger personal satisfaction than a new TV or video console, etc., IMHO.

PLEASE reach out to your friends here and elsewhere and encourage them to match donations, too. I have been blessed in many ways, as have many of you, and ponying up to help a great organization like the BSA is my way of saying 'Happy 100th Birthday - and Merry Christmas'
