Email Removal

With the end of the scout year comes our annual request for updating the email list. If you would no longer like to receive our weekly newsletters; please email back and I will remove your address from the contact list. Otherwise; we hope you continue to enjoy receiving the newsletter and being informed of our upcoming events!

A Night with the Knights

A few new notes:

Parking is not included with tickets and will be $3 per car.
Tickets & sleepover wristbands are all being held at will call under the scout's name and their correct # of tickets ordered
The t-shirts will be given away at the t-shirt table once you're inside the stadium.

For those attending the Night with the Knights on Friday, June 5^th:

1. Karen will get there between 5:30-6pm to pick up tickets/tshirts

2. Everyone else should meet at 6:30pm near the will call with yellow shirts on. (We would like to go in as a group at 6:45pm so that we can get settled in our seats/drinks/food/bathroom before the game starts @ 7:15pm)

3. Our advice for those camping would be to park nearer to the 1st base/Play Zone entrance.

4. After the game, we’ll go out to our cars and get our camping gear.

5. All gear will be checked through security (be prepared for a wait in line – could be up to 1000 campers).

6. Packs may line up early – outfield tent location general admission/first in/first on.

7. Tent stakes not permitted.

8. Wheeled coolers not permitted.

9. Sleepover on the concourse in the event of rain.

Summer Kick-Off Meeting

On Monday, June 8^th will be our Summer Kick-Off meeting at Kate’s Skate at 6:30pm. We will have sign-up sheets and complete details for all the events we have planned for the summer. Please come join us if you plan to participate in any part of the summer program! If you cannot make the event; we will be posting full details on all events after the Kick-Off Meeting and we will have a contact listed for each event who you can call or email for details and signing up for each specific event.

Leadership Positions Available

Several of our leaders from this past year will be moving up a rank along with their sons for the coming year. Some of our leaders have also regrettably had to withdraw from positions for the next year….so, if you have considered donating your time and participating more fully in the pack; please consider volunteering for either a leadership or committee position in the coming year. Either email or call Anthony Irwin, Karen or Amy with any questions!

Summer Bowling Program

Adrienne referred the following link to us for anyone who enjoys bowling and has the chance to go during the morning/afternoon over the summer. www.kidsbowlfree.com When you register, kids get coupons for 2 free games of bowling each day. For only $23.95 you can purchase a family pass which provides coupons for 2 additional games of bowling every day all summer long along with the children that registered in your family. Though the family pass can be registered for up to 4 adult family members (mom, dad, siblings, grandparents, babysitters, etc) it only covers 2 additional games per day. It is only valid until 5pm each day and standard shoe rental rates apply. Both Adrienne and Karen have registered for the program and would be happy to answer questions as to the coupons they received, etc.
