Blue & Gold now at Epic 3/26
Please note that there has been a CHANGE to our meeting location for our Blue & Gold Banquet on 3/26/09. It will be held at 6:00 pm at EPIC's Voyager Hall. I have attached a map here - please plan to park in the orange square as shown on the map. Voyager Hall is a horseshoe shaped building and you will enter the middle of it.
As you may recall, this banquet celebrates and awards all of the hard work that our 5th grade Cub Scouts have done over the past several years and marks the advancement to Boy Scouts for many of them. The Pack is providing pizza, cake and drinks and parents are to bring a salad or side dish to share.
