March Pack Meeting is TOMORROW!

Your friendly reminder that the March Pack Meeting is TOMORROW at 6:30 pm at the UMC Keller's Family Life Center. 

The Maker Spot

We had a great time at the North Richland Hills Public Library last night for Pack 1910's March Pack Meeting. Thank you to those who made it out!  

It's not even a remote understatement to say that the staff there is absolutely passionate in what they do, they are so excited to help the visitors learn and experience all there is. Plus, they are ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!!  It was awesome to see their little brains just clicking away inside as they explored each station.

We had an awesome hostess explain the process of 3D printing and they got to watch a demonstration of it printing a sleeping dog.

If you wish to share the photos you took with the Pack, please let April know and she will add you to the Pack's link to upload directly to our Google Photos.  Until then, check out the few we have here.

We had several families get a new library card so they could explore more and visit The Maker Spot in the future with their Scout.  I think that qualifies as a win!  If you're interested in more information or their event calendar (we had several asking about their classes), please see their website HERE. As she explained they release their calendar of events for the upcoming month a week in advance so you can check your schedule but the registration doesn't go live until the first business day of the month and remember classes fill up quickly!  The event calendar is HERE.

March Core Value

The Core Value for the month of March is COMPASSION.

Compassion literally means “to suffer together.” Among emotion researchers, it is defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another’s suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering.

But how exactly can we teach and demonstrate compassion in a "me" generation? This article has some great ideas on how to effectively do that. 

• Live by example.  Be the change you want to see in the world.  If you want your children to be selfless, caring individuals, show them what it means to do that very thing.
• Volunteer.  There are many opportunities in our very own community for your children to work along side you.  Don't be so busy that you teach them that investing your time is a gift of service that you take seriously.

I love the idea of being the living example.  Maya Angelou said "be the change you want to see in the world" and I think that living a life filled with compassion is a great place to start!
