Holiday Service Project 2001
Pack 40 is sponsoring eight families for our service project this December. Each den wishing to participate in this voluntary service project will be assigned a family in need of food, clothing, toys or other items to help in making their holiday season a more enjoyable one.

We suggest that the Scouts do extra chores and odd jobs around the house to earn money to pool with the money earned by the other Scouts in their den to purchase some of the items for the family you are sponsoring.

• You are responsible for arranging a time with your family to drop off the gifts and food. (If you do not have a phone number for the family, call Missy Mitchell, 646.2306).
• It is not necessary to take the Scouts with you to deliver the gifts.
• Do not make your deliveries alone. Take someone with you.
• If your family asks you for information to send a thank you note, ask them to send it to their social worker, who will forward it to Missy Mitchell. Missy will then send it to you.
• When you sign gift tags, put BSA-Pack 40 Den ____.
• A good way to stretch the boys' money is to go shopping at Big Lots.
• To order a dinner from Albertson's, call the deli, 662.2558. They MUST have five days notice. For $29.99 you can get a 10-12 turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy.

If you have any questions, call Missy Mitchell, 646.2306.
