On the lonely West Texas Plains amidst the rolling tumbleweeds and the running Jackalopes, a familiar sound. The Great Permian Basin District enjoying their Trail’s End Popcorn! All the units picked up their popcorn on December 2, either in Sonora or in McCamey.  Total District sales were over $77,800 dollars.  Ozona was the biggest seller this year, bringing in over $15,000, with Ft. Stockton coming in second with over $12,000.  We are proud to have among our ranks the Council Top Seller Travis Zuberbueler, Pack 153 who sold $3,041 worth of popcorn.  Dylan Mogford, Pack 420  was the next Top Seller with $2, 037 in sales.

The Permian Basin District had its annual Business Meeting on Dec. 7.   Frank Baker was reelected as the District Chairman, Tilden Stewart District Commissioner, Roy Armstrong  Advancement Chairman,  Roger Cash Training Chairman for, and Debbie Kemp Roundtable Commissioner in the year 2000.

The December Roundtable meeting was fun and exciting with  focus  on Blue and Gold Banquet ideas.  I would like to invite ALL the leaders the next Roundtable meeting on March 4, 2000.  The Roundtables are an excellent training opportunity as well as a fun way to spend a Saturday morning.  Hope to see y’all there.
