Unity Presbyterian Fire & Relocation of Next Week’s Court of Honor

Many of you are probably already aware that a 5-alarm fire swept through the Unity Hall building on the campus of Unity Presbyterian Church late on Sunday evening.  Through the collective efforts of many, many departments and volunteers over several hours, the historic sanctuary, new sanctuary and family life building were spared major fire damage.

We are blessed that almost all of the troop’s equipment was safely stored away in the troop trailer outside.  Much of what the troop lost was of historical value only and couldn’t be replaced. We are unsure what this means for a meeting place for the troop at this time, but rest assured that plans are being made to figure this out.

In the mean time, our Court of Honor was already postponed from tonight until next Monday night, the 17th, at the church’s request because of concerns related to the anticipated bad weather from this weekend.

The Court of Honor will continue as planned on the 17th.  St. John’s United Methodist Church, directly across the screen from the Fire Department on Tom Hall Street, has graciously opened their facility to us to use for our event.  We will start on the 17th with a parent’s meeting at 6:30pm, which will be followed by the Court of Honor and we will conclude with a time of fellowship and snacks. 

Many thanks to St. Johns UMC and to Tevis Vandergriff, York District Trainer and Chartered Organization Representative for Troop 130, which is chartered to St. Johns, for making this possible.
