Hello,
       I thought I would introduce myself...My name is Helen Hawkins.  I've 
been following this echo for a couple of weeks now and I'm really enjoying 
it. Every time I log on I seem to find out something new each time...it's 
great.
       In the town we live in there are four Scout groups.  I am the group 
committee chairperson of one of those groups. My husband is our Troop 
Scouter.We have 21 beavers/4 leaders, 10 cubs/2 leaders, 9 scouts/2 leaders.
We are a reasonably small group but things are going well.
       If anyone has any fundraising ideas they would like to share I would 
be most anxious to hear from you.  Currently we are all hard at work raising 
monies for Scoutrees for Canada, but we have some serious work ahead 
preparing for CJ'97. 
       Thanks for taking the time to read this.  I look forward from hearing 
from anyone with anything they would like to share.
                               Yours in Scouting,
                               Helen Hawkins
                               Sixth Lindsay Group Committee
