October Roundtable Notes:
We updated our Roundtable schedule with further signups for the "show-and-tell" segment of our program. We still need people to present in February, April and May. If you did not have someone who picked up Dorene Sorenson's fabulous set of "Works of Art" ideas, please let me know and we'll get Dorene to send it around in electronic format. I thought her CD case as picture frame was inspired ...
We discussed district-wide cub events for the year. The ideas we have include:
3) January - Judy Klutch is going to check to see if we can arrange for tubing at Greek Peak as a group. We also discussed going to a Cortland and a Tompkins sledding spot as a group as a backup.
4) February - District Pinewood Derby. WE NEED HELP. I'm asking for each unit to identify a person who can help Scott Mosher with the set-up for this year's event which will coincide with the Mall Show. This job is perfect for the "trailing spouse" who can't be involved on a regular basis ... find those "handy" people in your pack parent supporters and send them to Scott!
5) March - we left ourselves a little open on this month
6) April - we started with the idea of sharing Pack 24's swim at TC3. John Sinnott's going to check to see if that's possible. We then started talking about seeing if TC3 would let us use their facilities for an idea that Scott had - a "Belt Loop Bonanza" where cubs could work on all sorts of belt loops. I'm going to check with TC3 on facility availability ... and we'll take it from there.
7) May - the Council Camp-o-ree. We are told there will be a cub component at this 100th anniversary event at Greenwood Park in Broome County. There should be at least 350 boy scouts there ... if it is anything like the last Council camporee it will be an exciting experience.
