Pack Communication

Good evening, Pack! Tomorrow flags go out for Veterans Day! We have had a great response to signups for delivery, but we still have 5 routes that need to be covered.   The routes will be listed below and if possible please use the Sign Up Genius link below so we can keep track and make sure no route is missed.   Flags will start to be staged at 7am so anyone available to help move 300 flags inside the church to outside please come help.  Hopefully with enough help flags will be ready by 8am.  Any questions please reach out to Derrick at 903-570-6183.
