In all the excitement of having so many hammers swinging in so many directions and not having a single injury - at least not any we want to tell Mom about - I forgot to mention a few things about the bird houses. If you plan to put it up in your yard, hang it on a tree or fence post 5 or 6 feet off the ground. Don't paint or stain the wood. And clean it out every fall.

Speaking of home maintenance, the next couple of weeks are a good time to do Achievements 9a-c, on page 82 of the Wolf Handbook. They deal with checking the house for safety and fire hazards and talking about why its important to be safe.

Upcoming activities. On Nov. 8, please pick up your popcorn at the Church between 10:30 a. and 2 p.m.

Our next Den meeting is Nov. 16, at 3:30 p.m. Since its the day before a Pack meeting, wear your Class B t-shirts. The meeting is at the Euston's house, Arasin is responsible for the snack (a swap with Francis), and Hawley is responsible for leading the flag ceremony.

Our next Pack meeting is Nov. 17, at 6:30 p.m. at SPSP Church. Plan on wearing your "Class A" uniform - that's the traditional blue uniform with all the patches on it.
