BEAR DEN OF PACK 254 DELIVERS THE GOODS!!!!

The Bear Den of Pack 254 delivered the goods on Monday, March 26th, 2012; that is they delivered the canned goods that they, along with the other Dens at Pack 254, collected during the annual canned food drive competition to Rowan Helping Ministries in Salisbury.  The Bear Den delivered over 625 lbs of needed food to the Ministy.In addition to adding much needed food to the homeless  and less fortunate of Rowan County, the Bear Den were hosted by Cam Campbell, Director of Resource Development at Rowan Helping Ministries, who gave the Den a tour of the facilities. 

The Bear Den learned about all the things Rowan Helping Ministries does in addition to providing food, clothing and shelter to folks who have found themselves in a situation many of them never thought the would find themselves; homeless.  There were alot of good questions and Cam was up to the task of providing answers.  In the future, Pack 254 will look for other opportunities to provide help to the needy in our community as we try to make our community a better place to live.  Thanks again Cam and Rowan Helping Ministries.  If you would like more information about Rowan Helping Ministries click on the following website:  http://www.rowanhelpingministries.org/

PACK 254 GOES TO SEE THE CHECKERS!!

On Saturday night (March 10th), members of Pack 254, along with their families, went to Time Warner Arena in Charlotte to watch the Charlotte Checkers Hockey team play.  For some, it was the first time they have had an opportunity to see a live hockey game.  For others, it was the first time they had ever seen the game of hockey played.  And still for a few, it was chance to enjoy a game that we enjoy watching on a more frequent basis.  No matter what the experience level was, everyone had a great time as we got together early for a "tailgate" feast which included Chic-Fil-A chicken nuggets and pizza provided by Nancy and Tommy Ratliff at Touchdown Pizza in Kannapolis.

Eventhough the Checkers lost the game 3-1, that didn't dampen the fun that we all had together.  Remember that you have another opportunity to join us when we go to see the Kannapolis Intimidators play baseball on April 21st.  Don't miss the fun when we again "tailgate" before the game.
