Ok, here it is... They are mailing Saturday. If this is as successful as I hope for it to be and happens quick enough we will have a WIRL race this year and perhaps run or help out with the State Fair race if ask us again. 41 of these letters will be mailing and more the following week. I hope you guys think it's ok! Let me know!
Dear London Business Owner's and Friends:
I first would like to take the time to thank you for your continued service to our community. Our community is growing and as it expands so have we. In 2005 The Scioto Valley District will be once again holding the previously annual District Pinewood Derby. This is an event where the boys take a block of wood, 4 nails and 4 wheels and turn them into cars. It teaches the boys craftsmanship and patience, but most of all good sportsmanship. Our District has not had this event in many years and we feel the boys deserve the chance to race their wooden wonders against all the boys in the District. The Scioto Valley District spans all of Madison County and South Western Columbus, so as you can imagine, this has the potential to be a large scale event. The Boys normally would hold their pack derby and the top few would qualify for districts. This time we are inviting all the boys to participate so that all of them get the same opportunity to have a great time and meet a lot of fellow Scouts around their area. Most commonly, the Pinewood Derby is the highlight of the scouting year, and to revive the district race would give the children one more great event to remember!
What we are asking is that you make a donation and give back to the community that supports you. We are going to need quite a few items to pull off an event of this scale. We will need a new track, printing services, trophies, patches, certificates, decorations and more. Outside of the track we would like to keep all of the business here in London, if at all possible. Our budget is going to be roughly $1500.00. The bulk of the cost is the new track as they are quite expensive. The current track has deteriorated, and is in need of replacement. All remaining proceeds will go directly back to the Pack.
Donations to the Cub Scouts are tax deductible. We ask that you give what you can in support of our youth. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 845-2861. We would also like to have permission to thank all supporters in our program. If you could please enclose a note granting permission to simply state thank you for your donations. Dollar amounts will remain anonymous.
Please make checks payable to: Scioto Valley District PWD
