Second Installment of Dues

Please remember that our second installment for dues of $65 is due and needs to be paid this week.  If you have any questions; please see Amy or Anthony.

 

Friday is going to be Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!

This Friday, January 15 th will be our next Pack event. We will be headed to the Matthews 10 Movie Theater (9508 Northeast Court, Matthews, NC 28105 – by the IHOP, Krispy Kreme, etc) to watch the 7:35pm showing of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We’ll buy the tickets for your scout and family – you pay for any concessions! In order to be sure we all make it in (we’re already at 50 people from last week); we will be pre-buying the tickets on Thursday. The sign-up sheet will be in the kitchen area Tuesday night. You MUST sign up or email Amy if you plan to attend this event by Wednesday night and how many tickets you need. If something happens between your sign up on Tuesday and Wednesday night – please call Amy or Anthony to cancel the tickets. Otherwise, because we are pre-buying the tickets for ALL family members – if you sign up and do not attend – we will not be able to return your tickets and will have to charge you the $2.25 per ticket.

A Guest Pastor, Lunch and Cleaning

Christ Community Church will be hosting a guest Pastor on January 31 st with a covered dish lunch afterward and would like to invite all scouts and their families to attend. To help prepare for this event; we have been asked to provide a deep cleaning of the fellowship hall on Tuesday, January 26 th immediately following our den meeting. We ask that as many scouts and families as possible please plan to stay a little later after this den meeting to help us complete this task.

 

Scout Sunday

Every year in February (the month Scouting was founded) the Boy Scouts of America designates a Sunday specifically as Scout Sunday in which they encourage the scouts to attend service at the Charter Organization and to celebrate the importance of religion in scouting. We expect all scouts to attend the service at Christ Community Church on Sunday, February 7 th. Since they are still without a pastor; we have coordinated with the church for us to conduct a Scout’s Own service on this date. James Young has agreed to present the service for us and may be asking you or your scout for assistance with portions of the service! If you have any ideas or items you would like to include; please contact James.

 

Winterplace Skiing Events

Each Winter our Council runs 2 family skiing events at Winterplace, West Virginia.  The dates this year are Sunday, January 24 th or Sunday, February 21 st.  We do not plan to attend this as a Pack event; though if you would like to go on your own you are encouraged to do so.  The fee is $49 per participant and you would be responsible for all fees (including your scout).
