November Den Meeting Followup

Dear Tiger Cub Parents,

Thanks again to Luke J. (Luke's dad) for organizing a great den meeting!  We all had a blast making our leaf rubbings and conducting our Hot Wheels science experiments.  Before our next den meeting, everyone should complete the "Observing the Weather" family activity (Achievement 5F) for the "Let's Go Outdoors" unit in the Tiger Handbook.

We also had a great Go See It to the UofL ice hockey game this past Saturday (Achievement 5G), where we watched the Cards pull off an exciting 6-5 win in a shootout over Wright State.  Thanks to Elizabeth R. (Andy's mom) for planning that for us!

We have now completed three of the five units in the Tiger Handbook and are more than half way to earning our Tiger Cub badges!  If you have not yet completed all of the achievements in Units 1, 3 and 5, you might want to take some time over the Thanksgiving break to catch up with the rest of the den.  Any of the achievements that you may have missed can be made up on your own fairly quickly and easily.  Just follow the instructions in the handbook.

Please remember that our next Pack Meeting is this Wednesday, November 23rd, at 7:00 PM in Visitation Hall.  LG&E will be setting up their "Safety City," and we will be awarding belt loops to everyone who gave me their list.

Here are some other important dates to put on your calendar:
  • Dec 6: Den Meeting (Visitation Hall) 7:00 PM - Chip S. (Reece)
  • Dec 10: Bell Ringing (Kroger across from Summit) 12:00 PM
  • Dec 11: Go See It (Worthington Fire Dept @ Norton Commons) 1:00 PM - Shaneh R. (Christopher)
  • Dec 14: Pack Meeting & Chili Cook-off (Visitation Hall) 7:00 PM
I'll see you all at the Pack Meeting on Wednesday!

November 19 - Go See It: UofL Ice Hockey (Alpine Ice Arena)

Dear Tiger Cub Parents,

This month's go see it activity will be to go to a UofL Ice Hockey game.  I know I had talked with some parents about seeing a high school (or even a St. Albert's) basketball game, but most of those do not start until December.  This event sounds like a lot of fun. 
 
It will be next Saturday, November 19th, at 5:45pm at Alpine Ice Arena on Gardiner Lane.  The teams start to warm up around 5:30, so it is recommended to arrive by 5:20.  Children 12 and under are free (so please feel welcome to bring siblings) and the cost for adults is $4.00.  (This price is discounted $1.00 for our group.)  I need to have a number of how many are going by Tuesday about 5:00pm to ensure that all of our group can sit together.  If you have any questions, please email or call me.
 
Andy is looking forward to this, and I hope you all can go!
 
Thanks,
Elizabeth R. (Andy's mom)
