Thunderbird District's FOS Campaign
FOS presentations throughout the district have been completed. We now need you help in getting all the ‘loose’ cards gathered by your unit FOS chairmen and turned in to either Rob Siebert or Jim Grissom (jwgrissom@comcast.net or 630-759-1585). FOS is a very important part of our council funding and we need to make every effort to get all the cards back in as soon as we can.
