Personalysis
I wanted to take a moment to communicate some information about a leadership tools that I have been utilizing for a while and it's new tool to be able to utilize this in your family life as well. We have been using Personalysis for a while at the Cleveland Clinic as a way to understand each other better, understand how we all deal with different situations instictively and when we are under stress. It has enabled us to better work together and know how best to deal with each others personalities. This has been a great leadership development tool for me and has opened my eyes and helped in developing better relationships with my co-workers.
Personalysis has developed a Home version of this and cannot tell you how I hoped that this would come. I feel that I have a good relationship with my wife and family, but understanding their personalysis profile like I understand my co-workers would help in so many ways. We live a fast paced life and having this information will help in how I deal and interact with my wife at certain times. I have learned that we usually don't do things to irritate each other on purpose, but knowing why people deal with things the way they do will help us build a stronger relationship and understand how we approach each other.
I cannot wait to get the results and work on:
- Better understanding of feeling
- Less Stress and frustration
Thanks

Saint Patch Retreat Information
12:30 PM Registration
Saturday, December 13, 2008
Cubmaster Corner
As the scouts continue working on achieving their Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei medals for the religious awards program we will be holding a Saint Patch Retreat on January 10th, 2009. The goal of this is to assist the boys in completing their requirements to earn the 5 saint patches for this year as a group. Deb Lamolinara is coordinating this event and we are getting great support from the parents, parish and the Knights of Columbus with help. I encourage you to mark the date down so your scout can participate in this program. The event will end with dinner and a movie before lights out for anyone wishing to sleepover for a mid-winter campout type experience in the basement.
February
February is a very special month for scouting. This is the month where we celebrate the birth of scouting and it's formulation by Lord Baden Powell. We begin the month with Scout Sunday on February 10th. The Scouts attend the 10AM Mass together at St. Peter's Catholic church. Scouts should meet in the church basement at 9:30 dressed in their Class A uniforms. They will proceed in together and sit as a group for Mass. We are looking to have refreshments following in the Church basement.
This is also the month for the Blue and Gold banquet which is scheduled for February 21st. The Blue and Gold banquet is one of the traditions in scouting where we celebrate scouting's birth and recognize the scouts for their achievements. This is also the time where we award the religious medals and saint patches to the scouts who have earned them over the last several months.
Festivities begin at 5PM with Mass at St. Peters where the boys will be awarded the religious medals in front of the parish and proceed in with the Knights of Columbus 4th Degree Assembly. We then proceed to the gym where we have a banquet. We are looking at the format and content for the evening so stay tuned. I encourage you to attend this special event.......

October 2008 Pack 153 Newsletter
Well, hopefully you are in full swing of our annual popcorn sales. Again, I cannot stress enough the importance that each scout hit the $300 goal we have set. This is how we fund the activities throughout the year and we have much planned. Remember, there are many great incentives this year including the mystery house. If you missed the first hit here it is again:
The holidays are coming up and in our continued efforts to get the scouts involved in the community our Pack has partnered with the American Red Cross to sponsor a blood drive at St.Peter's Church on November 23, 2008 form 9AM-2PM. We will be asking for a few scouts to assist at the drive itself with serving refreshments and welcoming donors, but the biggest effort will be from recruiting donors. A representative from the Red Cross will be speaking with the Scouts in October to discuss the importance of Blood Donation and what they can do to help. If there is anyone that has benefited from receiving blood who would like to share their story please contact me to discuss. cnagelmol@aol.com
We will be kicking off the 2008-2009 Youth Religious Awards program at the 5PM Mass on October 18th at St. Peter's Church. Tigers and Wolves are eligible to complete the Light of Christ while Bears and Webelos are eligible to complete the Parvuli Dei. In addition, Scouts can participate in the Rosary and Saints patch programs this year. If you have any questions about the programs see your Den Leader or contact the Pack Religious Coordinator Deb Lamolinara at gdlam63@aol.com. Remember, one of the values in scouting is that Scouts are reverent, so we encourage participation in these programs. Information on non-catholic programs are available as well.
It has been an exciting and busy beginning to the scouting year, so keep selling that popcorn so we can have the funds to support our continued activities. Mystery House Hint #2 is as follows: North Ridegeville has roads and streets galore, but getting to this house only takes one of these no more.
