What's Happening in Pack 888

Dozin With the Dinos!

Dozin' with the Dinos - FRIDAY, March 5, 2010

Thank you for the overwhelming response to our museum overnight, Dozin' with the Dinos!

I was able to contact the Field Museum and reserve additional spots for our group.  Everyone who gave me permission slips and checks at the Pack meeting last night now has a confirmed spot for the overnight.

I do also have additional spots available for anyone who is interested in coming, but has not turned in permission forms and checks.  Once again, it is first come, first served.  I currently have 29 additional spots available.  You can drop off permission slips and checks ($51 per person, made out to Pack 887) to my house.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
