New Event: 10/25 Monster Benefit Parade for Patrick O'
November of 2008, Patrick O’ (a Cub Scout of Pack 661) was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma.
Over the past 11 months, Patrick has had two surgeries, rounds of chemotherapy, and undergone two stem cell transplants. At this time, there is no evidence of cancer in his system.
However, the risk of reoccurrence is high and in order to reduce the risk, Patrick is now participating in a clinical trial for an antibody therapy that can only be administered at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. This is a two-year treatment plan which requires monthly and bi-monthly treatments over the next two years. In addition, he will require trips for surgery, radiation, and long-term follow-up.
A fund has been set-up to help assist in the long-term care of Patrick O'. Through this fundraiser, we are hoping to eliminate some of the financial burden for his family. Therefore, we hope you and your family will support and participate in this fun family event. The O family extends their personal thanks for all who have prayed and cared for them during this very challenging time.
The neighborhood of Montclair Estates is proud to support the
“Patrick O’ Cancer Fund”

Are you ready for some camping (November 6-7-8) ??
Fall Camping!
As soccer, football and other fall sports start to wrap up, we look forward to our annual November camping trip!
Each fall, Pack 661 descends upon the Elson Farm, located in nearby Toronto, Ohio (just north of Stuebenville - 50-60 minutes from Westminster).
There is no charge and yes, it is a family event!
Planning is underway and the registration form is here for you to sign up !
Note: Some of you will be glad to know that the Cubmaster will {not} be leading the hike this year. This brings a sense of relief to those who were on last year's "3 hour tour!"

-or- "Pack 661"
~thanks
4 -The Order Form - tips and tricks
If you have customers having trouble finding an item that they see on the glossy page on the order listing page...here's a tip: Each item has a small symbol beside the picture (a christmas tree, or a circle, or a triangle, or a "C", or....). That same symbol is shown on the order listing page at the top. What we do is - Customer says "I want two of these" - we look for the little symbol and then direct them to the same on the other side "That's the little Christmas tree" or "That's the double circle." It really helps navigate from the back to the front of the pages!
