JOIN CUB SCOUTS

The official sign up night is SEPTEMBER 16, 2008, 7:00PM, Fairfield West Gym. Only boys who have not yet sign up for scouts need to attend. Scouts who have already filled out an application do not need to attend. All committee members should attend, if you bring your boys please make sure they are in uniform. There won't be a flag ceremony, it's basically sign up, pay registration fee, get some basic information and that's it.


Big thanks to Assistant Cub Master Ron Sexton and Cub Master Mark Nichols for manning the table at West's Open House. Usually this responsibility is split up between the adult leaders, but since both of their boys are now at the intermediate school and had their open house the night before they willingly stayed the whole night. We distributed 25 fliers, and had 21 sign ups, plus a few folks who didn't get fliers, so that's good news.


The committee meeting is scheduled still for Friday September 12th, 7pm at Richards Pizza. If you are unable to attend please let me know as soon as possible. If you are new and would like to join the committee everyone is welcome!


Our first Pack Meeting is September 23rd, 7pm, in the Gym. New Parent Orientation will be in Room 102 at the beginning of the Pack meeting.


Everyone had a blast at our Annual Pack Picnic at Harbin Park. We all had fun in spite of the heat.

Picnic This Sunday!!!

If you haven't RSVP'd for the Picnic this Sunday at Harbin Park, please do so by contacting Cyndi Cunningham, you can e-mail her at sewcynful@fuse.net or feel free to e-mail us from this blog pack969committeechair@gmail.com. It starts at 11am, Lunch is at 12pm, we are providing hot dogs and the buns, you'll need to bring a covered dish to share, your own drinks and some chips to share. Bring any outdoor games and lawn chairs. The picnic counts for a summer activity.

End of Summer

I can't believe summers almost over. I should have none it would end quickly once we had our planning meeting. Thanks to everyone who came out for the planning meeting. I do believe that was the shortest planning meeting in Pack history. Please remember there is a committee meeting at the Pack Picnic, at 2pm. The picnic starts at 11am with lunch at 12 and the meeting at 2. Everyone should have got a letter with the upcoming events, if you didn't get a letter and feel you should have, feel free to send an e-mail and we'll bring you up to date, or just click on the calender and it'll give you scheduled events for the whole year.



Don't want to sound like a broken record, but the Pack is in desperate need of volunteers from some of our younger dens. It's a really good time to step up and help out, so that come February when most of the experienced committee members are gone you won't be leading blindly. There are some awesome training oppurtunities in October, they are listed on the calender. If you are interested let any of the committee members know and we'll point you in the right direction and give you the support you need. We're looking forward to a great Cub Scout year!
