First off, thank you to everyone who baked for our bake sale last weekend and thank you to all the scouts and parents that stuck around to sell. Overall, we made roughly $150 for our campers! Not only did the boys earn some money, they got some very useful customer service skills and they worked on their math! It's a win-win!
We have some important events coming up! Next Friday, December 16th is our Christmas pack meeting! We will meet in the cafeteria from 6:30-8pm. We're trying very hard to get in touch with Santa but haven't been able to do so yet. If you know how to reach Santa, please let Ryan know! Regardless of Santa coming to our meeting, all scouts will receive a gift as well as siblings. We will have games, refreshments, and many boys will be receiving advancements that they've earned so far this year. We are asking that every family who is able bring a new, unwrapped gift to donate to the town's Toys for Joy. We've always been able to collect a huge box full of toys, so let's keep it up this year!
Also, the pack committee has heard of a very sweet 3 year old girl from Brookfield named Malia who is bravely fighting Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. She is currently undergoing a stem cell transplant which will leave her with no immune system. Because of this, she will be in an isolation unit through Christmas and will not be able to attend any family parties or events. The family is trying hard to raise her spirit through Christmas cards and are asking everyone to help. Their goal is to collect 5,000 cards and if each person puts $1 in the card they send, that raises $5,000 for Malia. If everyone put in $5, they'd raise $25,000! Even a simple donation of a card with well wishes will go a long way. If you would like to send her a card (with or without a donation) here's the address...Christmas Cards for Malia--c/o Lytle and Start--83 Old E. Brookfield Rd--North Brookfield, MA 01535 Any checks should be made out to "Soccer for Kids Sake, Inc" and in the memo line please write Christmas cards for Malia.
