Postponed: Playground Cleanup
Hi.
Along with the Westminster DayCare Center, we are postponing today's cleanup due to the {now starting} rain. We'll reschedule for a sunny day...
Thanks--sorry for the ultra-late notice.

This weekend; Playground Cleanup and Scouting for Food
Hi.
Knowing that you are looking for something to do this weekend...
Saturday morning 4/24
9am - (usually done by 11am/noonish)
Westminster Playground Cleanup
The more people come, the faster the cleanup goes! And yes, we still need help, so please come.
This is our 3rd year providing this service to "give back" to Westminster for hosting our Pack...
The Church also has their rummage sale at this same time; if the weather allows, uniforms would be great!
If you have any of the following, please bring them (put your name on to be sure...)
>> leaf blower, work gloves, rakes, brooms and dustpans
Sunday morning 4/25
Westminster Church Services
Scouting for Food
Those who did neighborhood collections can bring them to:
{Following note from our Scouting for Food Coordinator}
On Sunday April 18th I had the pleasure of watching the reaction of the parishioners towards the Scouts that participated in Scouting for Food. They loved to see the boys in their uniforms and many commented on how nice and well behaved the boys were. There were also many comments on how great it is to have the Scouts at the church, and that they are working for such a worthy cause. We were able to pass out several hundred bags at the three services.
Since we passed out so many bags on Sunday, I am calling out to the entire pack for help on Sunday April 25th. We need boys to help collect, shuttle, and sort the food. I expect to have a lot of food to sort and box so the more help the better. If you can help even for just one of the three services it would be most appreciated. I have listed the times below.
9:15am need at least 6 boys
10:30am need at least 8 boys
11:45am need at least 10 boys
A very big THANK YOU to the 5 Scouts that helped pass out Scouting for Food bags at the church Sunday April 18th, you did a great job.

Scouting for Food
Hello -
I am Celia V., and I am the Scouting for Food Coordinator this year for Cub Scout Pack 661. I have been coordinating with Westminster Presbyterian Church and Keith, to include their members in our Scouting for Food drive this year. We have been given permission to pass out Scouting for Food bags after the services on 18 April and to collect the contributions of food from the church members before services on 25 April. This is a great opportunity to receive some visibility for the Pack as a group of young men who provide service to others and the community.
Below are a list of times for passing out and collecting food bags. Since our camp out got cancelled I would like to see as many volunteers at possible for both of the Sundays.
April 18th -- Distribution of Food Bags (Cubs will be in uniform and will hand out bags to the parish members after services.)
April 25th – Collection of Food from parish members before services. Sorting will take place in the entrance of Fellowship hall. Where we had Blue and Gold.
9:15am
10:30am
11:45am

News & Notes; 4/12/2010
Elson Farm Camping
A separate e-mail with directions and details will be sent to those who signed up for this coming weekend's camping trip...
Blue & Gold recap
Wow. What a night! Hopefully all enjoyed the celebration. It was quite a logistical shift to use the Sanctuary...a huge thanks to all who made this event a success - Rhonda D., Beth H., Lisa F., Paula M., Jennifer C, Anne G and all who participated in the Court of Honor...
A few requests have been made for the caterer's name and number; contact cubscouts661@verizon.net if interested and we'll get that to you.
Scouting for Food
We need folks to distribute bags at Westminster services on Sunday April 18 and to collect on Sunday April 25.
Nobody signed up for the 8:30 am service on April 18 to hand out bags. Four people signed up to hand out at the 11am on the 18th. Still need more people. cubscouts661@verizon.net
Playground Cleanup
Saturday morning April 24
Westminster Church Day Care playground; clean up leaves, toys, etc.
So far, two people have signed up to help; please check your calendar for that Saturday morning for a couple of hours and let cubscouts661@verizon.net know...
Communications
I heard this weekend that some folks are not aware that we have a Pack Website. As messages are posted on the site (http://cubscouts661.blogspot.com/), an e-mail is sent to you. All prior postings and events are on the site.
On that note, we are in need of someone to take care of posting information on the site/e-mail...check out http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AZk0hBI_aOFRZG03NGtjdl81MGRyNjZ3bWNy&hl=en and contact cubscouts661@verizon.net
A personal note from Jeff
A huge Thank You for your remarks, comments, cards and gifts! I am so appreciative of your sentiments and generousity! Credit for the Pack's growth and maturity goes to your Den Leaders and other adults who have made this program "go." For my part, I was just one of a group of people (including Keith) who came together five years ago to move the Pack to Westminster Church and to re-engage. Others have joined in over the past few years; We each took action to ensure that a good solid Scouting program would be there for our children; to provide a good avenue for their growth socially, to learn respect, outdoor activities, healthy living, character, - all of which ultimately, is why we do this, isn't it...
Thank You. ~Jeffrey
