REMINDER: Tiger Cub Go See It this Thursday evening

Hi Tiger Cub parents,

I hope that many of you were able to attend last Saturday's pinewood workshop. This message should serve as a reminder of our upcoming Go See It! activity for Tiger Cub Achievement 4.

Steve Price (aka Daniel's dad) has graciously offered to lead a tour of UNC TV studios!

The Den will convene at UNC TV studios in RTP (see directions below) at 7:00 PM on Thursday, January 14. We will not organize transportation, but please do take advantage of carpooling opportunities! Mr. Price says that there are some pretty cool sets in place, so there will be some interesting things to check out. He will lead a tour of the broadcasting sets and explain the cameras, lights, etc.

May I please ask that you reply with your attendance plans?

While we're there, we'll have a brief Den meeting where we'll complete Tiger Cub Requirement 4D -- which is simply playing the game "Tell It Like It Isn't" (form a line, whisper something in the first scout's ear, then have each scout whisper in the next scout in turn, and talk about how the initial statement changed as it progressed). I thought that it would also be a good time to catch up on achievement record-keeping and handbook signing for those who have updated achievements.

DIRECTIONS: UNC TV is located in RTP and has ample FREE parking. It takes about 20 minutes to get there from campus. The address is 10 TW Alexander Dr, RTP 27709. Take I-40 to the Durham Freeway, go north. Second exit is Alexander. Exit and go left over the bridge. First right is the entrance to GSK, take the second right entrance (not well marked due to construction). Once you turn off Alexander, take the next right and follow the long drive. UNCTV is a large white building, park in front and enter the main lobby (Mr. Price will be there to let everyone in). Lost? Call Mr. Price's cell 919-218-6108.


FINAL PINEWOOD DERBY WORKSHOP

The Pack will hold one more Pinewood Derby Workshops at Fitch Lumber in Carrboro this Saturday, January 16, from 9 to 12.


SIBERIAN TIGER TEAM MEETING

There will be a Siberian Tiger Team meeting on Saturday, January 16 at 11:30 AM. Kim and Steve Price (aka Daniel's parents) will officially be in charge. In large part, this meeting will focus on Requirement 4D as well as achievement record-keeping and handbook signing. Because we will have done much of this at the Thursday Go See It activity, only those scouts/families that could not attend the UNC TV event need attend this "make up" session.

May we please ask you to reply IF YOU PLAN ON ATTENDING?

Kim and Steve will send out details as necessary to those planning to attend.

Thanks -- we hope to see you Thursday night!
Scott Singleton
