Hello Pack 618!
 
I hope you've all had a great start on your new year! 

As you know, this month's pack meeting is our Pinewood Derby. All scouts should have received a derby car kit at the December pack meeting -- if your scout doesn't have one, please contact your den leader. This Saturday, January 9, the Rabasca family will be hosting an open garage for car cutting and other work, from 9 AM to 4 PM. If you'd like to take advantage of power tools and expert advice please, bring your scout and your wood block anytime between 9 AM and 4 PM to the Rabasca residence:
 
17213 N. 43rd St.
Phoenix AZ, 85032

This is optional -- you can cut and build your car on your own, if you want to.  But if you are new to this or would like easy access to tools and expertise, I strongly recommend that you stop by at some point on Saturday. 

Please work with your scout ahead of time to have a plan in mind before you arrive in order to expedite the work. I will attach a template that you can print and use to draw out your car design.

Remember that car qualifications are Wednesday, January 20, and Friday, January 22(specific times to follow) -- all cars must be qualified at one of these two events in order to compete on Saturday the 23rd.
 
A big thank you to Andy Rabasca and his family for hosting this!
