Please Volunteer for Shepherds Fireworks Sales

The St. Columbkille Shepherds organization, which supports our pinewood derby and religious emblems program, has asked for volunteers to help sell fireworks.

Adults: anyone familiar with running a cash register is highly desired. Please email Rick Denne to volunteer for this position.

Scouts (with adult escort) can volunteer to work anytime from June 25 - July 2, 9am-10pm. (The Shepherds recommended not having scouts help the last couple of days due to the hectic pace.) The scouts can help stock shelves or bag fireworks for customers.

Since the Shepherds did not provide a schedule with available slots, the scouts are free to go anytime they choose. I ask that you let me know when you plan on going so that I can let the Shepherds know as well. Please email Rick Denne with your desired work time(s).

Important: scouts should not wear uniforms when volunteering with the Shepherds.

Please try to find some time to help out the Shepherds, since they contribute their money to our Pack each year; money which comes from this fireworks sale!

Thanks...

Memorial Service TONIGHT 7pm @ Durham Scout Center

From the MAC website:
The life changing events at Little Sioux last night cause us to reflect on how precious life is and we can strive to teach and protect our children, but bad things still happen.

Please join us in a candle light vigil at the Durham Scout Center, tonight at 7:00pm as we gather in spirit to remember Sam, Aaron, Josh and Ben, and pray for the speedy recovery for the other boys injured in last nights tragic storm.

I also understand that there is overflow parking on the North side of Maple. Hope to see you at 5:30pm mass and/or the memorial service...

Little Sioux Tragedy - Please come to 5:30pm Mass

Due to the tragedy at Little Sioux, I would encourage you and your scout(s) to attend the 5:30pm mass today (Jun 12). Please wear uniforms if you can and join us as we pray for the scouts and their families. Thanks...

Prayers for the Scouts at Little Sioux

I would ask that everyone in Pack 359 take a moment to say a prayer for the Boy Scouts and adult leaders who were at Little Sioux when the tornado hit tonight, as well as their families. While we were somewhat lucky in the metro area, they endured a horrific storm. Let's hope it's the last time we have to hear about something like this...

Papio Days Parade Info

Please come join us Friday at 6pm at the Scout Center for float assembly. We really need your help! We worked hard last Friday but still have some more work to do...

Also, if you are planning on your scout riding on the float in the parade please email rick.denne@cox.net to let me know (so we have enough room for everyone).

Please arrive at the Scout Center on Saturday (June 14th) at 1pm. You can drop off your scout at the school's north parking lot (things may be a bit congested on the side streets by then). The parade lineup is at 1:30pm and the parade starts at 2pm.

Don't forget - all scouts attending the parade get to play free putt-putt at Papio Fun Park right after the parade!

Still Need Help for Float Construction

HELP!
So far I have heard from only 2 people saying they can come help build our float on Friday at 5 p.m. at the Scout Center.

If we cannot find more help then we may have to skip making a float this year. Please do your best to come help (and have some pizza too). Please email rick.denne@cox.net if you can help!
