Pinewood Derby Ladies and Gentlemen... START YOUR ENGINES!! Our annual Pinewood Derby is THIS WEEKEND - 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. For complete rules and information, be sure to check the Pinewood Derby link on our website.

Ice Fishing Opportunity

We've got good news and bad news regarding the ice fishing derby. The good news is that we have again been invited to participate. The bad news is that it is scheduled for the same day as our Pinewood Derby - January 30 at Chatfield Reservoir. 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 Dues Attached

Our annual Recharter is here. Please see the attached spreadsheet to view the amount your family owes for 2016 dues. These amounts include district dues as well as Pack dues. The maximum amount that anyone will owe is $150 for the year (the only other amount you would owe on top of this is $12 should you choose to subscribe to the Boys Life publication). We understand this is an increase over prior years, however we have not raised our dues in years and they have not been able to keep up with program costs.

Those that met the popcorn selling goal of $600 will not owe anything (unless they want Boys Life). Those that sold SOME popcorn will pay a percentage of the $150. Those that did not sell any popcorn will cover the entire amount. If you have any questions regarding the calculations, please contact Patrick Harrington (harringtonelectric@msn.com).

Please bring your checkbook to the Pack Meeting TOMORROW NIGHT 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).
