• Early set up, registration and weigh-in
• Time: 6:30-7:30 PM

• 10:00-11:00 AM - check in
• 11:15 AM - 2:30PM - Race, awards, clean up
  

• Track Crew - assemble track Friday Feb 18, take down after race

• Track Keeper - a vital job, this wonderful soul volunteers to store the track 'til next year. Yes, it's time to find the track a new home...

• Pit Crew - weighs cars and checks in racers. Racers have the option of checking their cars Friday night or Saturday morning.

• Race Officials - Assist with running the race in several capacities:
• Announcer – announces heats, calls racers to head to the finish line
• Data entry – enters racers in the computer, informs announcer of race order (which car in which lane), verifies results of each heat are recorded properly, etc.
• Pit Crew – move cars from Pit to starting line – carefully
• Starter – places cars on track, launches each heat

• Judges – everyone goes home a winner – judges determine awards based on categories such as Scout Spirit, various construction “bests”, and more, set out ribbons, certificates, etc.

• Refreshment Chair – coordinates/procures snacks, beverages, & food. In the past we’ve picked up pizza from Dominos at a discount and resold by the slice or pie, plus sodas, water, juice, and also had folks donate miscellaneous baked goods.

• Cleanup – as always, we like to leave the school better than we found, or, barring that, at least get everything back where it was and leave it neat & clean.

PACK 107 – Pool Party 8/18 CANCELLED

I’m going to go ahead and get the word out earlier today instead of waiting until 5:00 to cancel this evening’s Pool Party. It’s pouring rain in downtown C’ville, and the forecast predicts more of the same all afternoon, with 50-60% chance of thunderstorms from 5-6 this evening. Radar confirms a large mass of storm weather in WV predictably heading this way, scheduled to arrive in Crozet after 4.

We are close to our next scheduled Pack event, so we are going to cancel the Pool Party and not reschedule.

However, since our freezer is stocked with 4 gallons of ice cream, the Pack will need lots of help eating it at the upcoming Lake Day!

coming up…

Lake Day

Sun August 29, 12:00-3:00

Lake Day at Mint Springs Games on the beach, and ice cream from the cancelled pool party

CAMPOUT WEATHER UPDATE

PS - my apologies for the spotty communications.  Thursday afternoon's storm took out power to Monticello Avenue online services, which killed both the Pack 107 website and email listserver until sometime approaching midnight Friday.  Hopefully you were reached by telephone.
