Blue And Gold Banquet

Blue and Gold Banquet will be 2/23. We will be doing a cake auction again this year with a Wild West theme.

Underwear For Africa

This is a new project to collect new, unopened packs of children's and young adult's underwear to be distributed throughout Africa. This is our chance to help others! The underwear drive will run from 1/12 ubtil the Blue and Golf Banquet on 2/23. Each boy is to bring his packages in a sack with his name on the sack (not the underwear package) so they can be tallied up. Both Packs 5 and 48 will participate. The winner of teh drive will be awarded a new Nintendo DS!!!

Space Derby

Space Derby will be held at First Southern Baptist Church on 1/26. Refreshments will be served.

Next Meeting/Space Derby

Due to the Christmas holidays, Cubpack 48 will not meet the next two Mondays 12/22 and 12/29. Tenatively, we will plan on meeting 1/5/09 at the usual place and time (Presbyterian Church, 7pm). We plan to pass out kits for the Space Derby at that meeting, but if we cannot obtain enough kits by that time, the meeting may be cancelled. If so, I will notify parents by e-mail and blog posting. We plan to hold the Space Derby 1/26 - details later.

Christmas Party/ Magic Show

The annual Cub Scout Christmas party and magic show is scheduled for 12/15 at 7:00 at the Presbyterian church. Once again Pete Waltersheid will entertain the Cubs. Treats and a gift exchange will follow.

Christmas Parade

The float is ready and Packs 5 and 48 will ride/walk together in the Coffeyville Christmas Parade on Friday 12/5. Cubs should meet at the Presbyterian church at 5:45-6:00. We will then walk as a group to our assigned starting position. Please dress in uniform if you have one, and remember to dress for cold weather (coats, hats and gloves recommended). Bringing a flashlight is also a good idea.

Popcorn Orders/Money

Jack will be available at the Presbyterian church after the Christmas parade on Friday 12/5 to collect any last-minute popcorn orders and to collect money for popcorn already sold.
