San Ramon Art & Wind Festival – Volunteers Needed
Date: Sunday - Monday, May 30-31, 2010 (Memorial day weekend)
Time: 10am - 5pm

We are looking for volunteers to help participate in booth duty at the Cotton Candy Booth during San Ramon Art and Wind Festival. This year we are targeting to raise over $1700 at the booth over the 2 day period. We are renting 2 high powered cotton candy machines in order to make sure we can keep up with the crowds.
If you can volunteer for an hour or 2 during the weekend, please contact your Den leaders ASAP.
Thank you.
Belt Loop and Pin for Video Games
Over 10 belt loops and pins have been added to the Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program this year. Among them, video gaming is one of the most controversial to be added. Contrary to the traditional image of a scout, video gaming doesn't seem to belong. If you are puzzled like most people, this video may help answer a question or two.
