Schedule Sanity Check Review attached calendar
Org & Admin (current/transition) • Cubmaster David Brynell/Kevin McCarthy • Asst. Cubmaster Rod McNeely • Pack Committee Chair Michele Brynell/Heather McNeely • Treasurer Paula Batts/? • Historian ? • Secretary ? • Trainer ? • Advancement Coordinator ? • Webmaster ? • Tiger Den Leader ? • Wolf Den Leader Rod McNeely • Bear Den Leader ? • Web I Den Leader ? • Web II Den Leader Michele & Paula • Popcorn Kernel (show & sell) N/A this year • Popcorn Kernel (take order) ? • Recharter Czar ? • B&G Chair Michele Brynell & Paula Batts
Strategies for Adult Participation • Directly ask “open” parents to take on one “one-off” position (such as recharter czar) • September meeting split part/most of the time to just parents and explain firmly that they are obligated to help • Fill out survey forms
Budget • Previous Actuals (separate report) • Planned Budget • Will address at Aug PCM • Tentatively $twentysomething dollar joining fee (to cover 1/3 year of charter, boys life, small fee to pack) • $5 monthly dues • In Nov or Dec (after all popcorn is complete), finalize budget and see if we can reduce the dues • Fundraising Goals • Will address at Aug PCM (basically as much as we can from Popcorn Show & Sell and Popcorn Orders)
Miscellaneous • Chose not to participate in popcorn show and sell due to lack of anyone willing to take it on this year.
