Bridge Building Contest 11.20.11 at The Larkin's House
Jim and Julie Larkin hosted a standing-room only crowd for the over one dozen bridges that each Webelos I boy constructed with glue and 100 or less Popsicle sticks. The results were truly amazing and our boys (and their parents, too!) learned about engineering principles, IMPACT, and the pros and cons of waiting to the last minute to help their boys complete the project. Chris Larkin's bridge, weighing less than a pound, held up under 107.5 lbs - the entire stack of available weights! The gala event included pizza, photos, and lots of laughs - thank you, Larkins for hosting, and Mr. McDanolds and Mr. Wildasin for leading our Web I's!

Dafnos Italian Grille Food Project 11/21/09 @ 10:30 AM
Alright, so the cat is out of the bag. Dafnos Italian Grille has agreed to let us use their kitchen. I know that the 21st is also scouting for food but we had to work around Dafnos schedule. So, for the die hard fans you could still go out scouting for food from 9-10 and meet at Dafnos after. This will not only fulfill the requirements for #8, cooking and eating but will be fun for the kids. Here are the details.
They are going to have pizza all lined up and ready. The kids will go in and roll the dough, put on the toppings and bake it in the oven. While this is happening most parents are going to be waiting for the kids to bring them their meal. Then we will all sit down and have delicious pizza together. There are several factors at play here, they have limited kitchen space and they open at 11:00 to the public. Therefore we are thinking 1 adult to every 2 or 3 kids depending on space. Also, keep in mind that they will be preparing to open up while they are helping us and getting ready. Dafnos has graciously donated all the food and will not be charging us a dime for the food, drinks, kitchen or time. I am not soliciting here in the slightest but please think about maybe "tipping" on your way out or staying for lunch if possible. I told them to expect between 6 and 9 kids plus parents, siblings, etc for a grand total of 30-35 people. Seeing that everything is donated and they have a lot of prep work to do, I need a complete and full head count as soon as possible.
Please email me with a firm yes and number of people coming or firm no. I need to tell them by this Friday November 6th! Before you thank me thank Carol (my wife). She is good friends with the owners and arranged the meeting on our behalf.
PLEASE and I can not stress this enough. You MUST be in the parking lot and ready to go at 10:15!!!!! We need to be inside and starting at 10:30 SHARP!!!! This allows Dafnos time to help us make the pizza and get ready to open. Another thought is since they are donating everything we can get a picture of the kids in front of the restaurant while waiting and make some sort of a framed presentation thank you to present to them later. Does anyone have a good digital camera to do that and would you bring it along? Does anyone have the capabilities to make a presentation framed thank you photo? Just ideas for now but bring the camera. Bring the kids in their uniform shirts and Matt and I will have ours for the picture. But... you may want to bring another shirt along to change into to cook, remember the glue incident!
Let me know if there are any questions!
Thank you,
Joe Nye
