Den Meeting - Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Hi Wolf Family,

Our Den Meeting will be this Wednesday, December 12 at 7:00 pm - Davis School.  As busy as it is, we head full steam into the Christmas season! We will have a fun craft for our little guys and had out their achievement beads toward their wolf badges for the work they've done so far!  Please bring the boy's handbooks so we know what sign offs need to be addressed. We'll have snacks for the Den Meeting so eat dinner accordingly!

For the Pack Meeting next week (December 19), we'll be caroling at Bethel Towers in Costa Mesa, so we'll be practicing our songs. I'll bring in some lyric sheets to hand out.

We'll also share information from last week's Parent Meeting.

See you there - Steve

Hi Wolf Families!

How awesome was our snack table last night?!

In fact, the whole party was pretty awesome!

Thank you all for your amazing contributions to last night's snack for the Pack Meeting / Halloween Extravaganza! I don't know about your kid(s), but mine was a filthy, sweaty, covered in sugar mess and he had a spectacular time! He woke up wanting donuts this morning....I guess having donuts smeared all over your face and hair just isn't enough!

Our next Den Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 24th at 7:00 pm. We'll meet at our usual place at Davis School. We'll have snack for next week's meeting and we can decide how we want to handle snacks and/or meals for future meetings that night.

Remember to bring your homework with you. The "Keep Your Body Healthy" document that Steve handed out as we left the last meeting. Each completed activity brings you one step closer to your next badge so don't forget!

Thanks again for your help with the Halloween Party last night! See you all next week!

HALLOWEEN FUN!

Just a reminder that our pack meeting this

Pack Meeting - Halloween Party

Hi Wolf Families!

We had a great meeting tonight. The kids are learning about our nation's flag, what it stands for and how to respect it. Thanks to Den Leader, Steve and all of our parent helpers for their assistance in our meetings! Your boys should have taken home a document called "Achievement 3a: Keep Your Body Healthy". Have your boys mark the check boxes for every time they do the task listed.

As we discussed, next week's Pack meeting is our Halloween Party! Our den is in charge of providing snack and we need to plan to feed about 80 kids. Here is a list of who signed up and what they signed up to provide:

Plates + Napkins            Karena  (Tyler's Mom)
Fruit Trays                      Dieter + Carmelita  (Kurtis Dad + Rocco's Mom)
Veggie Trays                  Gene + Mark (Sean and Luke's Dads)
Sweet Treats                  Laura (Jaden's Mom)
Drinks                            Allisun (Ryan's Mom)

If you're not on the list next time, perhaps you'll be willing to volunteer to bring snacks/food for our next Den Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 24th. Please let me know if you're interested in doing that!

No Uniforms at the Pack Meeting - Wear your Halloween Costumes!

Monday the 28th 9:50am:  Meet at the cemetary to take part in the memorial Day Ceremony.

There will be many Boy Scouts there to help out.  Troop 711 is the Troop we contacted and are working with (Lou Kirk), but Troop 339 may be there as well, as well as many others from Costa Mesa.

I will not be there, we have other plans.  So if you go just talk to one of the Boy Scout leaders to find out how you can help.

The cemetary is located  at the corner of Gisler and Harbor, across from TeWinkle School.

Thanks!
