We had a great time this evening at the cake auction. We raised $1460 for the Bozeman family!!! That is Awesome!!!!!!!!! All the cakes looked wonderful and I have to say, on a personal note, that whoever made the cake with the M&M's and chocolate bars did a great job!!! :-) I have already enjoyed a piece.

*****UPDATED Nov 8, 2010*************
Chad and Christy Bozeman, a local EMT and Preschool Teacher, who have 7 kids ages 15 and younger lost their home in a fire this weekend.  Mr. Bozeman and the children were home.  Ms. Bozeman was away at a Church retreat.  ALL OF THE FAMILY MADE IT OUT SAFELY!!  The fire was in the wee hours of the morning, however, and the home and all of their possession are a loss.
 
Our cake auction will raise money to benefit the family.
 
Register your cake for the auction when you arrive.  Fill out the registration card with your son's name and the name you have given your cake (Not Required).
 
The regular business and awards segment of the Pack Meeting will proceed rather Quickly.  There will be a brief intermission for viewing the cakes.
 
Parents and Boys are to make a cake together.  There are no particular rules. If you and your boy love your cake you can claim dibs on it in the auction for the low low donation of $15.00.
 
Otherwise, to the Auction!! 
 
Make it crazy!  Make it Yummy!!
Buy it there and fill your Tummy!!!
