FOOD SHELF DRIVE “Scouting for Food!”

Why: The Monticello Food Shelf needs food. The Boy Scouts can no longer do it by themselves. To make this work we need to step up to the plate and lend a helping hand. We are responsible for a certain area and we are doing it later in the day due to possible soccer conflicts. We will be delivering “Scouting For Food” flyers in the Cardinal Hills Development. There is no food pickup on this weekend. Food pickup will happen the next weekend and you are welcome to help with that too (pizza party too.).

When: April 5^th, Sat. @ 1pm, Wear Uniform

Meet Where: West side of High School in the Parking Lot. See You there!

We would like to thank all those scouts who have gotten their registration in. If your name is not on the list and it should be please call Cindee at 295-5521. (If this was an oversight or you have changed your mind: registration for this next year is $30, payable to Pack 272. Mail to Cindee Haider 1230 West River St. Monti 55362.)
