HERE’S THE SCOOP FOR APRIL 2011:

Our food collection for APRIL is bring what you wish.  The Food Pantry is continually looking for canned fruit & vegetables as well as ramen noodles.  If you can bring one item or a couple to the pack meeting, that would be fantastic!!

Pinewood Derby is set for this Saturday, April 9^th in the cafeteria at Oconomowoc High School.  The race will begin promptly at 11:30am.  We will once again provide some pizzas to snack on, however this is NOT lunch.  If you would like to provide some additional snacks (chips, pretzels, etc.) we would appreciate that also.

Car weigh in & check in will be THIS Thursday, April 7^th from 5-7pm at Park Lawn in the entryway by the Gym.  All cars racing must be brought at this time or you will not be able to race on Saturday.  Please make sure to bring your car in a box or container with your name on it.  All cars & containers will be returned to you after the race on Saturday.

Scout Night at Sherper’s is this Thursday, April 7^th from 6-9pm.  There are normally “goodie bags” for the scouts & raffle drawings throughout the night, with great prizes.

A new position has opened up – Webmaster for Pack 7. In order to keep our website going, we need someone to be in charge of keeping our website up to date.  Our current webmaster would be happy to “train” someone to take this over as his son has moved on to Boy Scouts.  Please let Adam or Christine know if you are interested in taking on this position.

The pack still needs your help in filling the remaining 2 positions:

1. 1. CHARTERED ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIVE – All Year Position
2. 2. COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON – All Year Position

A big THANK YOU to Vanessa Eiserling for stepping up to be the new Join Scout Night Coordinator and Sonny Schenk for also stepping up to the plate to take on the Advancement Coordinator position.  Now the Pack can continue to recruit new boys & your scouts can continue to receive their awards for advancement.  Thank you Vanessa & Sonny!!
