The Cub Scout theme for the month of April is "Service" and we have found a wonderful opportunity for our Scouts to make a difference and have a great time, too!! "A Party With A Purpose" will be on Saturday, April 10 from 2:00-4:30pm at Arrowhead Park in Chandler (On Erie Street between Alma School and Dobson, Erie is between Ray and Chandler Blvd.). There will be bunches of games set up for the kids to play--fun, active games based on the NBC-TV show "Minute to Win It". And, to get into the party, all you need to do is collect and bring some of the following items: non-perishable food, spare change or gently used clothing or household items. The non-perishable food will be donated to the United Food Bank; the spare change will be donated to Feeding America, which has a food kitchen in Mesa; and the clothing and household items will be donated to African refugee families living in the Valley who are starting over with nothing but a mattress.
If you are able to join in on the fun, even for just part of the party--please let Tim know as soon as possible. Come in uniform, ready to have fun and help out with some of the collections and activities. Bring the whole family and invite ALL your friends!! Everyone is welcome, the more, the better!!
If you are not able to come, but would still like to serve the community, please bring any of the above mentioned items to the next Den Meeting--which will be Monday, April 5, 6:30pm at First Baptist Church of Chandler. You can also invite your friends and tell them about this wonderful opportunity to serve the community.
I know it's short notice, but the Kellers are hoping to see many of you on the afternoon of Saturday April 10 at Arrowhead Park in Chandler!! Let us know you are coming so we can look for you!!
