Pinewood DerbyOur annual Pinewood Derby is coming up F-A-S-T! It will be held on Saturday, January 30th from noon until 2pm. ALL cars MUST be checked in and weighed on Friday evening, January 29th between 6:00 & 8:00pm. If your car is not checked in during this time, it cannot participate in the race.

We will be having a Derby Workshop on Saturday, January 23rd from 9:00-11:00am at Aspen Ridge Church (downstairs fellowship hall near the windows). If you need assistance completing your car, come on by - there are lots of hands to help. For complete rules and information, be sure to check the Pinewood Derby link on our website.

If you turned in canned goods during our November Pack Meeting and did not receive a Pinewood Derby car kit, please get in touch with Karen Kitchner at karenkitchner@yahoo.com.

Ice Fishing Opportunity

We've got good news and bad news regarding the ice fishing derby Cubmaster Patrick has mentioned at previous Pack meetings. The good news is that our Webelos / AOL Den Leader's former pack has arranged an ice fishing day at Chatfield Reservoir with professional guides. They will be supplying equipment and giving instruction and Pack 39 has been invited. The bad news is that it is scheduled for the same day as our Pinewood Derby - January 30. The event runs from 8:00am to noon so it is possible to do both if you were motivated enough to do so. Please contact Patrick if you would like any further details (harringtonelectric@msn.com).

2016 Recharter is Here

Our annual Recharter is upon us. At the Leader's Meeting tomorrow night (Jan 12), we will be finalizing amounts (dues amounts and popcorn contributions) and will let you know your amount due in next week's post. Please bring your checkbook to the Pack Meeting on the 26th to pay your dues. The Den Leaders will be responsible for collecting any missing payments and getting them to me before the deadline (date TBA).
