Change in Meeting Date for December

Unfortunately due to a scheduling conflict we had to move our December meeting. Our original meeting planned for Thursday, December 20th at 6:30 PM has been moved to Saturday December 15th at 11:00 AM.

Tours begin promptly on the hour at the information desk on the ground floor of the Rotunda. Please allow sufficient time to arrive and be ready to start.  The tour will last approximately 45 to 55 minutes. Groups may see the Rotunda, the Supreme Court, the Governor's Conference Room, the Assembly, the Senate and the North Hearing Room (all subject to availability). 

Our understanding is as long as the weather permits, we should be able to go out onto the observation deck.

If you have any questions, please contact Jeff Augustine jaaugust@charter.net

Thanks,
Jeff

Spring Service Project is this Sunday from 3-5 at Royal Oaks

Hello families,

This Sunday from 3pm - 5pm is our Spring Service Project, where we help our charter school, Royal Oaks!  This year we will be doing school clean up, including painting items that need repainting -- please dress appropriately!

If you have any questions, please contact Heather Reeder or Rebecca Dodson -- thanks go to them for organizing this.

Again, please join us this Sunday from 3-5pm at Royal Oaks -- many hands make light work!  Plus, it is a great lesson to the Scouts that having a school they can be proud of doesn't just happen by itself.  And, it just feels good when you are done, to know that you have made a meaningful contribution.

Thanks!

Next Pack Meeting Thursday March 8 (6:30 p.m.) at Royal Oaks

Hello Families,

The next Pack meeting will be held next Thursday (6:30 p.m.) at Royal Oaks.  The topic will be a health presentation from the UW Med School, including actual preserved human organs to look at.

Please email if you have any concerns about your scout being squeamish about this and we'll do whatever we can to accommodate those scouts, as the organs will only be part of the presentation / meeting.

Thanks!
