OCTOBER EVENTS AND REQUIREMENTS DUE

Hi Guys,
Please be sure to work on the "Fitness" section, page 246. You can complete the balance of this requirement at home.

Please complete 1 a-b-c  for the "Athlete" section, page 124
You can mark down 4-5a, 5c, 5d,  and 6.
I have some of the work sheets from last meeting to record the progress.
We will finish the balance of pieces together in between other things.

For homework, please write a short piece on describing the flag(what the different parts mean) and a short history. Use the lines on the flag to write the report on. This is found on page 144, "Citizen" section.

Next meeting is 10/27/11-Heather Robertson will be hosting the meeting. We will be working on "Artist" page 102. I will forward a list of materials to bring in one I know.

Important date-HALLOWEEN PARTY---10/28/11 @ 7PM. PLEASE BRING ONE SMALL PUMPKIN AND A DONATION OF FOOD FOR THE FOOD BANK.

Please do not forget to turn in your registration form and payment ASAP. Also, we are looking to finalize the dues collections by next time we meet. Checks or cash to be turned into Lou Parente.

NOTES:
1. I suggest buying a 3 ring binder to keep your son's projects/papers/etc..in. Makes things much easier for me to check.

2. Please also remember if you are hosting the den meeting and you need to buy something, I can only reimburse up to $15.00. The balance spent will be your responsibility. Each year I used my own money to purchase supplies which far exceeded the amount of dues collected. Last year alone I spent out of pocket $427.42 over the amount collected. I don't get reimbursed by BSA if you were wondering.

3. Finally if you are hosting a den meeting, you will be responsible for the snack.

4. Please let me know if you have an interest in any particular requirement. We can plan it together.

Thank you-

FIRST DEN MEETING NOTES AND FOLLOW UP

Hi Guys,
The first den meeting went well. I want to keep in close contact with everyone so we all progress at the same rate.
Here is the recap of what we discussed:

1) All the boys must have appropriate Webelos attire.

2) All the boys MUST have a Webelos book. A good portion of what we will be doing this year will need to be done at home.

3) All dues for the year will be collected at the next meeting on 10/13/11. Total due for each of us will be $30.00. Please make out checks to the Den Chief financial Officer-Louis Parente. We will discuss how this will work at a later date.

4) A Denner will be voted in each month. Each boy will serve at least once.

5) Each parent will have the opportunity to run an entire den meeting. We will discuss ahead of time what will be required.

6) Please mark off in your book the following completed sections.

  A. Page 49.......3, 4, 7a, 7b
  B. Complete ...1 and 8 as a family. Mark off when done.

7) Home work(FITNESS REQUIREMENTS) which we will briefly discuss next time we meet:
      
   A. Page 246 do 1a, 1b, 1c
   B. Page 246 do 3 this week and 4 next week(I passed out the handouts for this).
   C. Try to do 1

8) Next meeting will be held outside. No uniform is necessary. Have your boy wear sweats and sneakers. I would like to meet at NSES and use one of the fields. We will be working on the ATHLETE REQUIREMENTS...page 124.  Also plan on a brief discussion.

I know this looks like alot, but many of the do at home things are quick. Be sure to mark them off in the book.
