Messages, Anyone?

Hi all. We are Den 3 in Pack 76. Our cubmaster is Heidi Palmeri. Our first Den meeting will be Saturday, September 6 at 11:00am. It will either be at my house or St. Mark, I'll let you guys know by Wednesday. The meeting should not take more than 1-hour.
Our meetings for the first month will take the following track:

The theme is "Soaring To New Heights"

Our 1st week:

Please bring the following supplies: A few sheets of copy paper, tiger cub size scissors, a few paper clips.

We will begin to construct a den doodle. A den doodle is a way to record our accomplishments in a 3-D manner. We will all participate in deciding how our Den Doodle will be created.Some ideas are a simple chart, or a simple structure consisting of a cutout mounted on a stand or a hanger mobile etc.

We will also be preparing paper airplanes and experiment with flying for distance, target practice, length of time in air, etc.

As a unit we will decide what our Go See It activity will consist of: Our choice are as high as our imagination of space, air travel how we challenged our nation to fly. We can visit NASA, an airport, see a model airplane flown by an instructor etc. Or for our Go see it we can choose an elective "Family" activity, where watch a professional sport with our adult partner on TV, learn the rules, then go see an amateur or pro event.

Please collect leaves in different sizes. If any of you have maple seeds or access to them please let me know. The leaves and seed will be part of our second meeting.

Our first Pack meeting will be a family picnic at the State Park under the pavilion. The Pack committee is trying to set the date for September 20. We will need to bring our den's food. Its a picnic. Let you cubs pick their favorite dishes and we'll make sure they're covered as their partners. As soon as I hear a firm date I'll let you know.

Please let me know if you have any questions between now and Saturday. Until then have a great week :^)

The meeting will be at my house 2901 Fable Drive. We're in Story Park on the lake side of Judge Perez off of Legend.
Please call if you're not sure where this is.
I am looking for chairs and tables, like card tables or a big party table would be ideal. If you have either please bring it.
See you tomorrow.

A new newsletter just came out from Ms. Bonnie called Cub Happenings, Volume 1 Issue 1. Plans for next Saturday the 27th, include a tour of a flight school, 9:30am at the N.O. Lakefront Airport Terminal Flight Academy, an opportunity to take a 10 minute flight, a tour of a fire fighting unit at the Lakefront Airport, and a look-see of a B17 Bomber. If everyone wants to fly it will be $15.00, but everyone must commit to fly. A nominal fee for lunch is also in order. Next month, there is a camping trip, 24-26th. Although we do not need to attend both Friday and Saturday night, we need to sign up before September 30th. Email Ms. Bonnie at media007@cox.net. Last but not least, there is a leadership training session at Zephyrs Field on October 4th at 8:00am.
