Hi and welcome to our series.  The total today left is $430.27.  Today was a special day and Robbie got to choose our meal so we are having Spaghetti with meatballs.  The cost is not as bad as you might think.  I started with 1 lb of ground meat, 1 onion, 2 T of garlic, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 T of Italian spices and 20 meatballs.  Plus one package of spaghetti.  So what did it all cost? Meat 1.93, onion .15, garlic .25, tomatoes .69, tomato sauce .69, Italian spices the jar cost .89, meatballs 2.33 and pasta 1.19.  For a grand total of  $8.12 add a salad at 1.99 and a loaf of french bread for 1.99 and you have 12.10.  This should also give you 1 or 2 lunches as well.  so the total for 6 people is $2.02 each.  That leaves us $418.17

 Today is a Scout day and what a meeting.  We have the Blue & Gold coming up and we are a small pack that has just started back up this year. So we have 1 Tiger Cub and 7 Wolfs and I think 1 Bear.  Plus 2 Weebolos… so not a large group, but a good beginning.  I decided today and with some help to go ahead and register Paul and Alex as well.  I will be getting help with the boys next year as a Merit project for some of the older scouts.  Scouting is such a wonderful program and it will be interesting to see my 2 Down’s boys with the group next year.  If you have children get them involved with a scouting program and if not help with there fundraising by buying cookies or popcorn.  Have a great day and see you all again tomorrow
