Scout Sunday is February 7th @ Triangle Church

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Hello Scouts and Families,

You are invited to join us for Sunday Services at Triangle Church (Sunday School at 10 a.m. to 10:40 and Church from about 10:50 to 11:45 a.m.) as this Sunday, February 7 is Scout Sunday and the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts in America. If you can attend, please have the boys wear their Class A full uniform (hats, scarves and blue or tan shirts). I am not sure if some of our scouts or leaders will be doing anything as a part of the service, but we’ll look to try to all sit together, if possible.

Wendy and I teach the 3rd grade class on Sunday mornings, but I’ll see if someone can look out for those visiting with us on Sunday.

Hope to see you there and have a great week.

The Pack needs Pinewood Derby Volunteers

Friday, December 11th, 2009

All,

I’m looking for a few volunteers to help with the annual Pinewood Derby. The race is January 30th, and with the holidays, the Derby will be here before we know it. Please email me directly (not packchat) if you are interested in helping with the Pinewood Derby.

There will be a kickoff meeting this Sunday at my Cary house for the volunteers. We’ll start at 4:00 and try to keep to an hour.

I kook forward to hearing from you.

Cary Christmas Parade - Final

Friday, December 11th, 2009

All,

Here are the final details for the Parade.

Decorating in the Lowe’s parking lot at 10 a.m. (the Lowe’s off Maynard and NC 54). We should be done with decorating by around 11:30 to give folks time to get some lunch before meeting at Martin Architectural Company (511 E. Chatham St.) at 1 p.m. They ask that all riders be there by 1 p.m., but note that the parade won’t start until 2 p.m. and we will probably move out around 2:30. No personal cars are allowed in the Martin Architectural lot, so I’ve been suggesting that folks park in the back parking lot of Cary Elementary (where the parade will end ) or at the Baptist Church right there near the end of the route and walk over (about a mile) to Martin Architectural. Trust me, after having done this a few times, once you get done with the parade you want to have a short walk to your car. They also suggest carpooling where someone parks at the end and then carries others over to the start. That can work too. I will have my truck, but likely all four of my kids with me.


We are in slot 78 of 114 for the parade.

A little smaller than in year’s past, so the Parade should go a little faster than in the past. They’ve have over 200 entrants in the past.

It looks like the weather is going to cooperate with the forecast temperature a few degrees warmer than earlier in the week and the rain is supposed to hold off until Saturday evening or Sunday. It is still going to be chilly at 45-50 degrees, so dress appropriately. We don’t necessarily have to have our uniforms showing, but if you do – great and have layers underneath. If you have a Santa hat or festive items that you can wear, all the better. We will have our Pack sign on the trailer, so they will know who we are without our uniforms.

I look forward to seeing you out there and I talked to several folks, but if you could respond to this email to let me know that you are coming so we can begin to get a headcount and know who we are looking for. I think there will be plenty of room for everyone to ride on the “float”.

Food Collection Wrap Up Tonight

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Pack 393,

I hope that the scouts had amazing success on Sunday and enjoyed the project. My boys were so excited at each and every door that there was a bag waiting for them!

Please bring your food and cash donations tomorrow to the den meeting. If you are unable to attend, please bring the donations to my home in Cary by Sunday evening.

There has been a suggestion of making thank you cards. I would like to encourage you to make them individually for your neighbors, especially for those who were very generous!

Please consider donating food and money yourself. What a great way to teach by example!

I really appreciate all the efforts by the pack to complete this project. I hope that you will be able to join us next week when we deliver the food. You can truly see the impact of your help!

See you tomorrow night.

Holiday Service Project 2009

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Pack 393,

Our pack has a wonderful opportunity to help serve our community. In light of the recent economic changes for many people, we have decided to team up with The Carying Place to provide some desperately needed assistance this holiday season. The Carying Place provides transitional housing for seven homeless, working families for 16 weeks.

So here’s what we are going to do….

We have planned a food/cash donation drive. In the past we have canvassed the Breckenridge neighborhood. This year we will distribute the bags individually within our own neighborhoods. Our goal is to collect $350 which will provide each family with a $25 grocery card and a $25 gas card in addition to the food. Last year we were also able to include a $50.00 Target gift card!

I would like each pack family to consider donating as well. This would be an excellent time to talk to your boys about compassion and to teach them that we all need to help others.

Ideas to consider:
1. Have your scout donate some of their own money. (there’s no better way to teach kids to serve then by giving their own money)
2. Make a list of chores that they could do to earn money to help these kids.
3. Have them talk to friends/family/neighbors about our project and ask for a donation.
4. Search through your pantry and pick out food that they like to eat and have them donate it instead.
5. Set a goal of how much you would like to raise
6. Be an example: donate and participate in the project!

Thursday, December 3th at 7:00pm: Meet at Triangle Church for Pack meeting.

As a pack, we will assemble the bags for distribution. Please bring a stapler and an estimate of the number of bags your son will need. You may canvass just your personal street or branch out to other streets as well. I would like to see each scout distributes 25 bags.

Friday, December 4th: Distribute bags in neighborhoods
Sunday, December 6th 4:00 PM: Collect envelopes and bags.
Thursday, December 10th: Bring food and money to den meeting at Triangle Church.
Thursday, December 17th 6:00pm: Deliver gifts and food to The Carying Place.

So here’s what we need from you:

1. Talk to your boys about our project. Get them excited and have them participate!! They will experience the joy of knowing that they made a difference in someone’s life!!
2. Donate and participate yourself.
3. Ask for donations when you are out in the community. Many local stores and restaurants will generously donate gift cards.

Those who participated in the delivering of the gifts and food last year know the incredible experience the boys had. They were proud of what they achieved and realized that they made a tremendous impact on these families. I hope you will consider all that we have to be thankful for and help make this year even better than last!

Yours in Scouting,
Kelly Coman
