Awesome Second Effort! (19 Mar. update)
Cub Scouts, a few Boy Scouts with Troop 65, and some of our Girl Scout buddies all pitched in to make our snow-delayed food drive work out for the hungry of Licking County -- good work all. We'll have some stats after Monday, 17 March, so check back (and Blue & Gold photos, too).
UPDATE 19 March -- Chuck Moore of the Licking County Food Pantry Network reported to Pack 3 that we brought in 4,000 pounds of canned goods, which he thought was awesome for a "make-up" date. And we'll get back to our usual 5 ton return next year!
Please tell people who ask about the Pack 3 Food Drive bag they still have at home that any "Operation Feed" drive will happily take that sack of groceries, and the county-wide push continues through March.

The Food Drive Goes On . . . To Next Saturday!
[We have confirmation that the Food Pantry Network truck will be available for us from 10 am to Noon at the bell on Broadway, Opera House Park next to St. Luke's Episcopal. All I can say to everyone is -- do what you can, and it will be appreciated!]
Boom!
OK, we're officially cancelled for tomorrow, and below is the notice that all central Ohio radio, TV, and news/print outlets are getting. I hope you can do next Saturday; friends, if you can't, do what you can, and if no one in your den can cover your area, please let me know by Thursday morning.
Have a pleasant Saturday morning watching the snow fall, and we'll see you out shoveling the little old ladies' driveways in the afternoon when it stops!

Folks -- Can you help us? Last week our Cub Scout Pack distributed 3,000 bags around our community to homes, with flyers offering to pick up filled bags for the Licking County Food Pantry Network if they are set out by 9 am tomorrow. We obviously need to push this back a week. The official announcement is:
Our community wide canned goods drive for the Licking County Food Pantry Network, scheduled for pick-up at homes Saturday morning after 9 am, is postponed to next Saturday morning, Mar. 15. Please help us then to feed the hungry!
Yours in Scouting,
Jeff Gill

Sigh.
Why yes, i have heard there's a little precipitation called for tonight. What are you hearing?
I'm trying to confirm from the Food Pantry Network that we can get the truck from 10 to Noon next Saturday before i pull the trigger, and tell all the media i can get ahold of to put out the word that we're not asking people to put their bags out tomorrow, but a week from tomorrow. If they can't do next Saturday, then i need a Plan C before i move off of Plan A!
But 10+ inches is a deal breaker, even for rough and tough Cub Scouts, and my measure is really whether moving the pick up day will get us more food for the pantry than staying put. At this point, it's sounding like we'll have less food to show for our efforts if we try to pull it off in the heavy snow falling from midnight to 10 am, so i'm *intending* to push us back a week -- stay tuned for final word when i hear from some of our other partners.
Yours in Scouting,
Jeff

Food Drive & Weather, or not . . .
Den leaders --
As for the Saturday forecast, the plan B is . . . there is no plan B! If the weather is truly horrible, as in Level 2 or 3 Snow Emergency horrible for Licking County, we can try to ask for the Food Pantry Network truck to come on Mar. 15, Blue & Gold Saturday in the morning, but we have limited means to let folks know what's happened.
So just use your best judgment, do what you can, but assume that we will still have the truck at Opera House Park in downtown Granville, on Broadway next to St. Luke's Episcopal Church right in front of the big bell, from 10 am to Noon -- this Saturday, March 8.
If the county sheriff's office puts us at Snow Emergency 2 or 3, i will get the Advocate paper and website, radio and TV stations to post "Granville Food Drive postponed to next Saturday" and we'll do what we can then. But just scuzzy weather alone doesn't cancel this Saturday! It will impact our giving, but i think trying to re-set to next week would drop it even farther.

Jeff Gill
