November Pack Meeting at Grace

Popcorn Sales

Michelle needs orders from each den to her via email by Friday. She sent emails regarding this on Monday to all Pack members. Payment is due at the November Pack meeting. We are hoping for 100% participation this year so that the pack will earn an ice cream party. Marci will call all den leaders not present at the meeting to remind them of this deadline (DONE).

Seafarers

Shoeboxes are still needed.
