Tomorrow’s meeting

Good afternoon, We had planned to sell flags tomorrow but due to rainy weather we will be meeting to finish up our Fur, Feather, and Ferns advancement. Since I had not planned on having a traditional meeting tomorrow we will not be working on Bear Claws (I haven’t ordered the wood yet). Wednesday we will help our pack put out Flags for President’s Day. Please meet at the church Wednesday at 5:30 to put out flags. It should take about an hour if we have enough help.

Fund Raiser / Cross Over Meeting

AOL parents, I will be having a meeting this Monday night at the church for any who want to know more about our plans for Cross Over and the fund raiser. Our main fundraiser will be on the day of the pinewood derby race (Feb 16th), volunteers are needed to help man and supply the concession stand from gift cards that we have received. The importance of the fund raiser is too raise as much as we can to help off set the costs of the awards and the venue. I look forward to seeing everyone. Bob Prince
