Dens to choose time slots for Pinewood Derby Woodworking.

The below message is from Wes Carr, our Pinewood Chairman.  Dens will be choosing time slots to attend woodworking.  (If you are unable to attend, you can still cut your car by hand if need be so do not stress.  The key to a fast car is attention to the axels and most important get your car as close to the max weight allowed--5 Oz.  Plan on adding 2-3 Oz of weight to get there.  Use of accurate scale recommended.)  Please coordinate with your dens. - Phil

Hello!  We have four time slots to work on the PW derby cars at Cedar Woodworking, who has generously allowed us to use their woodworking equipment.  We would like you, the den leaders, to select which session your den will attend.  Since we have 5 dens, we would like to combine Tigers and Bears, so it would be helpful if Cindy and the Garlands could discuss between yourselves what works best for you.  

When you contact your den to let them know what session they are to attend, please take a head count of who plans to attend.  That way if your designated time doesn’t work for a scout, they can perhaps fit into another session if there is room.  They can accommodate 12 scouts maximum at each session.  The Saturday time slots are longer and may be more flexible.  

Also please ask the scouts to sketch out the cut that they want on the side of the car.  If a scout is unable to attend any session, they may be able to send their block marked with the desired cut and we can have it cut for them if they want.  

Sessions:
Saturday 1/17 8:30AM-10:00AM
Saturday 1/17 10:00AM-11:30AM
Wednesday 1/21 6:00PM-7:00PM
Wednesday 1/21 7:00-8:00PM
Note, Cedar Woodworking is located at 630 West Fulton Street in Lancaster.  You may wish to carpool with your den; however ample off-street parking will be available at a nearby church.  Several adults should be present to help corral the boys and to assist with the equipment, but not all parents are needed. 

Thanks!  Wes Carr
