Treasurer's Report
Roger Ansted presented the expenditures and budget status report. In general, we
are over spending our budgeted amounts but for very good reasons. There are two
donations expected from BP-Amoco through their Matching Fund Programs available
to employee Tom Cox and retiree Than Colvin. These funds are planned for use in
building our $1,000 treasury cushion and designate money for a sound system.
Remaining donation funds will be used to supplement the general budget.
Community Volunteer programs are available in many corporations. Please ask the
parents of scouts in your Den to check with their employer and find out if we
can get some donations from their volunteering to help in scouting.
Open Positions
The most critical position to be filled now is that of Treasurer. Roger is
currently holding 3 jobs for our Pack and needs to be relieved of this function
before his scout graduates in the Arrow of Light ceremony and joins a Boy Scout
Troop.
Other open positions will be emphasized during the next few Pack Nights so we
can get leaders in place before the summer break in den meetings. Some of these
are Assistant Cubmaster, Assistant Pack Committee Chairperson, Secretary, and
Assistant Treasurer.
Pack Charter Renewal
Our recharter was completed for 46 scouts and 19 adult leaders. Again this
year, we qualified for the "Quality Unit" award.
Carolyn Schneider updated our Pack Roster from the recharter information. She
delivered a copy to each Den represented at tonight's meeting. If you did not
get one, please contact Carolyn. Please review the roster and add E:Mail
addresses, work telephone numbers, etc. and any corrections you see. Hopefully,
we can develop a complete Pack E:Mail address system to aid in relaying
infomation.
Popcorn Sales
The initial meeting in Tomahawk District will be held on February 19th. The
location is still to be confirmed but this will be the time we collect the sales
sheets for each scout and start our program. During the last few years, we have
been blessed with an excellent volunteer Popcorn Chairperson. This volunteer
will be moving into Boy Scouts during this popcorn sales and delivery period.
We need a popcorn representative for each Den and someone to coordinate this
fund raising project for the total Pack. One possible Pack representative was
mentioned tonight but we cannot say the position is filled until the individual
is consulted and asked to volunteer. Please obtain a Den rep for your den and
let me know if you have any volunteers to handle the Pack responsibilities.
Blue and Gold Banquet
Sufficient information has been distributed to Den Leaders and parents about
this celebration. The ceremonies will begin at 3:30 PM on Saturday, February 16,
2002, in the sanctuary of Faith United Methodist Church. The banquet will
conclude in the Family Life Gym at about 6:30 PM.
Cubmaster Reece Nagai will be contacting Den Leaders to assign parts in the
Leader's Skit.
Arrow of Light Ceremony
This is scheduled to occur on March 23, 2002, at Baumgartner's Pond on Bar Road.
Roger Ansted has made contacts / reservations and will continue to coordinate
efforts of the various parties performing duties at this ceremony. Further
details will be supplied later.
Family Campout
Den 5 is taking the lead in planning this campout and coordinating with Den 12.
The campout follows the Arrow of Light Ceremony at Baumgartner's Pond. Details
will be supplied later.
Scout Sunday, February 10, 2002
The 9:35 service is assigned to Pack 880. Scouts should be in full uniform and
arrive 15 minutes early to assist in handing out programs, ushering and anything
else needed. If some families normally attend the 8:30 service, please come in
uniform and assist at that time. Boy Scout Troop 1880 will provide these
services at the 11:00 AM service. If you normally attend at that time, please
join the Boy Scouts in performing services.
Scout Parade on Saturday, February 23, 2002
This date has been scheduled but we do not have confirmation of details. If
one of you has been contacted or has details, please share them with the rest of
us.
Faith United Methodist Church Mission Sunday
On February 24, information booths will be set up for each of the missions
sponsored by FUMC. Scouting is one of those missions and we plan to have a
display. Roger Ansted has volunteered to set up and be at the table to answer
questions. If anyone wishes to assist or to loan scout scrap books, handicraft
items, etc., please contact Roger.
Announcement
Reece Nagai says there is still time for any Parent volunteer to work at Kohl's
Department Store and raise money for the Pack. These funds are being designated
for a Pack sound system. Please contact Reece if there are other workers.
The next Pack Parent's Meeting will be at 7:00 PM Tuesday, March 5, 2002. Please
plan to attend and bring other members of you Den.
