Giving Tree Update

As promised (although a little later than advertised), here is the list of numbers and more specific information for our Giving Tree tags.  If the tag you chose does not have a number written on the back, then you don't need to worry about any of this information.  Remember, we'd like all donations back to us at our December pack meeting on December 15.  

#s 1-12 were all for toys

Our family has one young son who is 8 years old.  He enjoys school and doing things outdoors.  Loves to read books as well.  We do have tags that were specifically for books, but you can never have too many books.  He would probably enjoy educational type toys as opposed to say, army men, for example.  Non-violent toys only please!  (no guns, fighting games, etc)

#s 13 & 14 were for slippers

Our young man is a shoe size 1 or 2.  We had originally assumed there'd be more than one child to purchase for, but since there's not, if one of the people that chose this tag wants to buy socks or boots, that'd be great too.  

#s15 & 16 were for pajamas

Our young man is a size 8-10.  Nice warm PJs will help him get through cold winter nights!

If for some reason you have a tag that you cannot purchase the item for, please contact Ryan immediately so that the item may be purchased by someone else.  We're very excited to help this family out and are hoping to make this a yearly tradition for the pack.  We thank you all in advance for your donations! 

Giving Tree

At our pack meeting in November, we put out a Giving Tree. 

 On this tree we hung lots of tags with items listed on them.  Items such as food, toys, and clothing items decorated the boughs.  Families were asked to take a tag from the tree, purchase the item listed, and bring the item back at our next pack meeting on December 15.  All of the items collected will be donated to a local family who needs a little brightening of their holidays this year.  If you took a tag with a number on the back, you need to check back here in the next week to find out what specific information goes with your tag.  This may include sizes, genders, colors, likes, etc.  We are still in contact with folks about getting us this information.  Please stay tuned!

Respect Rally Next Tuesday

Our November pack meeting will take place next Tuesday, November 17 from 6:30-7:30pm at WBES.  This will be our annual Respect Rally.  This year, we have a very special guest coming to give the kids an active, informative, unforgettable demonstration about respect.  If you have not received your November Cub Scout Courier by either mail or email, please contact Amy at 49ALL80@gmail.com so we can make sure we have your correct address.  

Check your mailboxes!

It's that time again!  November Cub Scout Couriers are in the mail, so make sure you check your boxes.  For those of you who receive it by email, you should see it in your inbox.  If you'd prefer to receive our monthly newsletters by email, please let us know by emailing Amy at 49ALL80@gmail.com.  

We hope everyone is enjoying the 2015-2016 scout year so far.  It's only going to get better from here, so tell all your friends!!
