Rocket Day - October 2008

CRRA Trash Museum

Help Wanted

We're looking for a few parents to round out the Pack 61 team:

Pack Secretary

• Keep notes on business conducted at pack leaders' meetings. Record only key items such as things needing follow-up or items for the history of the pack.
• Assist Cubmaster and Committee Chairman with correspondence for the pack.

Advancement coordinator

• Collect den advancement reports at pack leaders' meetings for use when ordering badges and insignia from the local council service center.
• Help plan induction and advancement recognition ceremonies.

In addition to these two important roles we need helpers for a few upcoming events

• On October 26th we will be blasting off with our 2008-2009 session Rocket Day, we are going to need a few parents to assist in preparing the rockets for launch.
• January 24th is our Pinewood derby and last year proved it's never too early to start planning. This year is going to be even better than the last and it's going to take a team to bring us there. At this stage we're looking for assistance with sponsor activities as well as event planning.

Parents, please contact us at pack61easthartford@gmail.com with questions or to sign up. Our next committee meeting is at 6:30 on October 9th in the Church Library, all interested parents are encouraged to attend.
