Blue & Gold (and Green?) Banquet -- Mar. 17

Pack 3 will hold our annual "Blue & Gold" banquet at Granville Intermediate School on Sat., March 17 -- leaving some of us calling it the "Blue & Gold & Green" banquet, in deference to Saint Patrick!

Cubs are free, and any and all other family members are $5 for a great spaghetti dinner cooked and served by our partners with Boy Scout Troop 65, which will receive some of our Webelos Scouts into Boy Scouting at the end of the program.

With some preliminaries at 4:45 pm, the program begins in earnest at 5:00 and will conclude at 7:00 pm, from the meal to the "crossover ceremony," with the Order of the Arrow dance team performing for us (and assisting with the crossover). The Kaniengahaga Dancers are an amazing cultural and athletic presentation, and the whole family will be fascinated by their work on stage.

Please let your den leader know by March 1 your head count; tickets will go up to $10 after that point. We expect over 300, so arrangements are important! Also get in your advancement information to Phelps Jones by March 10 for rank presentations that will get made at the Blue & Gold (and Green).

"Best Design" for Pinewood Derby cars is voted on by your "next rank up" fellow Cubs, so if you want to have your car in the running, have it to GIS by 4:45 when voting begins.
