A few important notes...UPDATE

Our next den meeting is scheduled for this week, Tuesday, 11/25 at 3:15 PM in the All Purpose Room at North Boulevard School. I need a volunteer to pick up a few supplies tomorrow or Tuesday morning.

The list includes:
- 20 bagels (stale is OK)
- lard or shortening (enough to coat all of the bagels)
- birdseed (1 to 2 lbs.)
- rolled oats or similar

The supplies are needed to build bagel bird feeders as part of this month's lesson/activity. Please let me know if you can assist. I will reimburse for the supplies you purchase.

Our Go See It on December 6th was originally set to visit American Woodcarving School in Wayne, NJ. I will need to reschedule that trip to early 2009. Our December 6th Go See It will now likely be a visit to either the police station or the fire department. Additionally, I need to travel on business that weekend so I will need a volunteer to run this Go See It. Please let me know if you would be willing to lead or co-lead the Go See It. If no one volunteers, I will be forced to cancel the date altogether.

Money and dues. There are still two families that owe me camping money. The fee is $10 per person.

Also, most families still owe den dues. They were originally estimated at $35 dollars per scout. SInce we are not using the orange uniform shirts, the fee is now $30 per scout. My records indicate that only the Andrea family (Tom, I owe you $5) and Barthelemy family have paid den dues. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns re: these fees.

Quick survey...I am considering canceling the December 22nd den meeting since it will be a hectic week for most of us. Please reply to this email with a "Yes, please cancel" or "No, prefer to keep the meeting" note. I am willing to hold and run the meeting but will only do so if a majority of our scouts will be able to attend.
