The
Gryphon held their ship "Bridge and Barbeque" on October 1, 2005.
This informal bridge encourages advancement and gives us two opportunities
a year to recognize our youth. Our newest Able has recommended that
we have two "barbeque" bridges a year to have three advancement pushes a
year.
We recognized a new Ordinary, a new
Able, and discussed our summertime activities. We had a very special
presentation by John Richers, the Pacific Skyline Council Executive.
John made a special presentation of the Silver Beaver to Woody Lawrence,
our engineering officer.

knife. Apparently, it was met with approval.
