Hello Pack 511 families. Following are some important details regarding next month's Blue and Gold banquet. Date: Friday, February 17th Time: Doors open at 6:15 PM until approximately 8:45 PM Location: Broomfield United Methodist Church - 545 West 10th Ave. (opposite the West side of Broomfield High School). Entrance is at the rear on the West side of the church (look for the signs). Tickets: Registered scouts and scout leaders of Pack 511 are free. Under 2 years old are free. Ages 3 - 12 cost $5 each. 13 and over are $8 each. Tickets may be pre-purchased at the Pinewood Derby (highly recommended). Tickets may also be purchased at the door. If you pre-purchase your tickets, please enter through the "Pre-Purchased" line. If you have to purchase tickets onsite, or have lost your tickets, please line up in the "Cashier" line. RSVPs are essential! If you pre-purchase your tickets at the Pinewood Derby, this will count as your RSVP. If you do not pre-purchase your tickets, you will need to RSVP online (RSVP form will be posted online following the Pinewood Derby). Without RSVPs, we cannot arrange seating by dens or accurately estimate food requirements so we appreciate your taking the time to do this. Seating: Seating will be grouped by dens. When you RSVP, please indicate which den you wish to sit with. If you have more than one scout, please indicate which den you wish your family to sit with or break your RSVP up by den (ie - Dad with one scout and mom with the other type of thing). Centerpieces: Each den (with the exception of Webelos IIs) are requested to create a centerpiece embracing the theme "The Magic of Scouting". Your den leaders will work with you in creating an award-winning design. Centerpieces will be judged and the following prizes will be awarded: 1st Place - Pizza Dinner at a den meeting 2nd Place - Ice Cream sundaes at a den meeting 3rd Place - Rootbeer floats at a den meeting Dinner: We will once again have our favorite Bennett's BBQ catering this event (including a vegetarian dish). Upon your arrival, please feel free to help yourself to dinner right away. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cold drinks will be available at a separate table and will be available during the entire evening. Cake will also be available once the evening is underway. Entertainment: For everyone's entertainment, we will close the event with a fun magic show. Volunteers are Needed: In years past, we just asked for volunteers and that proved to be difficult in getting enough help. Last year, we organized volunteer times by rank and we had great results. That being said, if someone wants to help and cannot during their time, they are more than welcome to help whenever they can. Following are the times and ranks we have assigned: Tigers - Set-up beginning at 4:00. We need lots of help to get everything set-up on time. Also, anyone helping with set-up will also get first dibs at the dinner buffet  .Wolves - During the event. As I will be actually sitting with my son this year to enjoy his crossing-over, Susan will be solo during the event and will need all the help she can get to help keep the beverage and dessert areas running smoothly. This does not mean these volunteers will not be able to enjoy the event, rather, they will be doing spot checks on coffee, helping cut and serve cake, helping scouts get seated for entertainment, etc. Bears & Webelos I - After the event (around 8:00 - once the entertainment starts). Susan is going to need help tearing the tables and chairs down, collecting and taking out trash and, yes, event washing the floor after everyone is gone. At this point many hands will make light work. Volunteers need to check in with Susan before just tearing everything apart! Webelos IIs are not required to volunteer but any help is always welcome. Volunteers can sign up at ... I hope this email answers many of your questions. Please let either Susan or myself know if you have any questions. Thanks, as always, for helping to make this event a success and thank you to Susan Peacock for stepping up to take over as I cross over into boy scouts with my son. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past years leading the charge on this event and it is due to all of the help I have received. Being part of Pack 511 has truly been a great experience.
