GREAT NEWS!  TIRED OF TYPING IN THAT LONG DOMAIN NAME?  WELL WE LISTENED:  NOW JUST TYPE IN 'PACK623.COM' AND YOU ARE IN!

For communication ease within the pack, I have created a few email aliases that will keep communications consistent year to year with the changing of the guard.  The following email addresses can be used:

Cubmaster@pack623.com

committeechair@pack623.com

pack623@pack623.com

CharteredOrganizationRep@pack623.com

Also, you may access email addresses for the pack on the website.  There are many group lists, such as leaders, each den has their own distribution list too.

Check out the possibilities and let me know if we need to add anything else.

Start getting those Pinewood Derby race cars ready! Racing will begin promptly at 1 pm on Sunday, Jan 29. Please click on the attached document for complete event details & rules. Don't forget that cars must be checked in before the event at a special check-in on Friday, January 27 from 5 to 7 pm at the PHE MPR. There is a $1 per-car entry fee (at check-in) to help cover the extra cost of holding a weekend event at school.

Join the Pack in celebrating Cub Scouting's birthday! We will be celebrating at Pump It Up in Lake Forest from 7 to 9 pm on Friday, Feb 10.

Cub Scouts are free, siblings are $10 each (please be cautious about sending very young siblings, as there will not be a separate area for them. A parent must stay if a sibling is attending). Adults are free to stay, or you can drop your scout off, and pick him up at 9 pm. A completed release form and SOCKS are required for every child.

Now that the cold weather is upon us, you might consider adding a Pack long-sleeved t-shirt or hooded sweatshirt to your son's closet (or pick one up for yourself!) The cost is $15 for long-sleeved t-shirts & $20 for the hooded, pull-over sweatshirts (cash or check to "Pack 623"). They are available in children's sizes M & L, and adult S, M, & L. Contact Jill to request a shirt/sweatshirt at pack623@att.net.
