Hoop Shoot – Virtual Conclusion Plan

This is what nationals want to do for hoop shoot. The email is from the new Region 6 Regional director and the attachment is from National Hoop shoot.
Steve Edgerley
 
 
Email from Region 6 Regional Director:
Good Evening Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well as our States seem to shutting down again. As I stated in my previous email I had a zoom meeting with the other Regional Directors and ENF the other day. Attached is the β€œvirtual plan” they are working on. I am asking for everyone’s thoughts, suggestions, input, and ideas. I have my own thoughts on this β€œplan” but I would like one cohesive thought from all of us in New England when I talk to Chicago again. If everyone on this email can email me back that they have at least reviewed this plan that would be much appreciated. If I don’t hear from someone, I will be giving you a call. Sharon and I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope everyone stays healthy and safe.
Fraternally, Mike Stewart
