PACK MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

Pack 4 Newsletter

September -October 2005

  Important Deadline Dates

September 13th - T Shirt sale ends. We will continue to take orders after this but we will have to meet a minimum order before placing a second order. It could be as long as spring before a second order is completed. If you want Pack 4 T-shirts, get those orders in before the end of the Den meeting on Sept 13.

September 27th - Pack Meeting, Deadline for Camping registration. All Den leaders should have camping registration forms. Cost is $10 per person, for the weekend. This includes Friday night snack, Saturday Breakfast Lunch and Dinner and Sunday breakfast. Our theme for this campout is the Raingutter Regatta. All scouts and siblings wishing to participate will need to also need to prepay for their regatta kits, on the camping registration form. The boats will be made at camp on Saturday and then they will be raced. Awards will be given out Saturday night at the campout.

October 11th- Popcorn Sales are DUE! The pack makes money from this. The popcorn is delicious. Please have your scout put on his uniform and walk in the neighborhood. You will be amazed at how much popcorn you can sell. People are very supportive of Scouts. Suggestion -  have people prepay for popcorn unless you know them very well.

October 15th - Cub-Parent Overnighter Registration

This is a Council  event, not a pack event. If you wish to attend you must register by the 15th. Cost is $30.00 per person. This is only for the scout and parents, no siblings may attend. We have registration forms if you are interested.

October 30th - Pack 4 Annual Cake Auction. This will begin at 2PM in the activity hall. This is the same room where we hold our Pack Meetings. The boys make cakes and we hold an auction to bid on them. It’s a great opportunity to create something as a family, and the boys have a really fun time bidding on their cakes. This is also a big fund raiser for the pack. Please be sure not to miss this one!

The fun starts at 2PM, at the Church, where you will get your popcorn that you have sold. Then, move across the street to Veterans Park with your homemade chili, and join in festivities. Sampling and competing, what more could you ask for! Awards will be given for different categories.

Hurricane Relief

We are asking for cash donations from our pack members. We will have a donation can available at all meeting between now and September 27th. All money that is donated to the fund will be given to the Red Cross. Lets help teach our scouts the importance of helping others, and given to those in need. If each family donated only $10, we could raise about $1000.00.

Calendar Changes

Due to circumstances beyond our control we have had, and are still facing changes to our 2005-06 Calendar. Since there are so many changes being made, please look for a new Calendar to come out before the end of October. The present calendar is correct for the month of September, and this newsletter will get you into November.

And as always, if you have questions, please ASK someone! We want you to have fun too!
