this summer for a planned outing to
California. The scouts who are el­
egin Fundraising

with jus, asking parents and other
adults for money, they worked very
hard this summer at a car wash at the
Burger King restaurant on Weidler
Many more fundraising events are
planned and the scouts hope the en­
tire community will support them in
their constructive efforts.

ing the car wash the scouts were
supported by volunteers Herman

Muhammad. The troop was char­
tered through the efforts o f members
ofthe Muslim Community Center o f
Portland which is headed by Imam
