Assistant Cubmaster James opened the meeting.

 

Treasurer, Patricia Sells reported that we have $800 in the bank account for the remainder of the year.  Patricia spoke about the decision that needs to be made concerning the status of Pack 474.  If we want to gain 503c status there will just be much, much more paperwork in general.  All present voted to keep Pack 474 with the tax status that it now has.

 

Patricia let us know that from the position of Treasurer she recommends that our pack really try to focus on the popcorn fundraiser.  Christmas tree recycling is a lucrative fundraiser for our pack as well.  James is going to check with council and see if our Christmas tree pick up areas can be expanded.

 

The idea was brought up that we should look into doing more fundraiser nights with local restaurants (Red Robin, Chuck E Cheese) to help supplement our bank account. 

 

Cubmaster Dave is proposing the crossover picnic to be held on June 17th which is the Saturday of Fathers Day weekend.  An informal “vote” will be held at the Pack meeting to see if a majority of the families will be able to attend.

 

Scouting for food will be chaired by Miriam Pettit.  Thank you!

 

The pack meeting on April 21 will be at Millennium and is our annual Raingutter Regatta. 

 

Patricia reported on her search for reasonably priced t-shirts for the boys.  At West Coast Awards shirts are abt. $8 each.  To personalize with a name is another $9.  It would take about 2 weeks to get the shirts.  This information will be shared with all parents at the pack meeting and pre-orders will be taken.

 

James closed the meeting.
