December Newsletter

This Friday, December 5th at 7:00 - 8:30 PM at CTK (Social Hall- lower level) we have our always-popular Bingo Pack meeting with prizes galore! This is a family night, and while only kids can win prizes, all kids are eligible, so bring your brothers and sisters.

It is a night loaded with "swag." About 1/3 of all of the kids attending should leave with a nice Bingo prize. We are also awarding pocketknives to the 23 boys (actually parents of boys) who stepped up to sell 25 - 65 Poinsettia's each!

Some of the exciting upcoming events we will be talking about are :

  • Christmas Shoeboxes- December 14th, anytime between 12- 5 PM CTK Social Hall- this is a cooperative effort between Daisies, Brownies, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts. We will be filling and gift-wrapping about 100 shoe boxes filled with "stocking stuffer" items to be distributed to children of needy families in conjunction with St. Phillips.
  • Grand Rios Waterpark (in lieu of a January Pack meeting)- we'll take over the waterpark on Sunday, January 11th from 2:00 - 5:00 PM. Admission charge of $9 per person will cover an afternoon of fun and Pizza. Attached is a flyer with all of the details. Sign up with Brian Smogard Friday night.
  • Pancake Breakfast- Sunday January 25th- This is a "service project" we do in conjunction with the Boy Scouts, and the boys serve breakfast to CTK Parishioners and the general public.
  • Camp Ihduhapi- February 7th-8th. Jeff James will talk about this year's camp, and provide more information.

Finally, Poinsettia pickup is this Friday before the meeting from 4:15 - 7:00 PM at CTK Gathering Space. I can use volunteers, so please shoot me an email if you can help out.
