Cub Scouts of Pack 21, pictured below on the facing page, built and presented a new Clifton Cares collection Box. The Cub Scouts, sponsored by St. Philip’s Church, have been supporting Clifton Cares with the sorting of donations and packing of boxes that are sent to our troups. The scouting program encourages the boys to be helpful and an active part of the community. While functional, the old cardboard box used for donations needed some upgrading. Assistant Cubmaster Mike Klingler used the opportunity to teach the Bear Cubs some “Baloo the Builder” skills. They learned how to use hammers, clamps, screwdrivers and hand saws to complete the box. The Bear Cubs, Alexander Jakimowicz, Riley Siedlecki, Wyatt Meyer with the help of Nathan Adorno (Wolf Cub), Assistant Cubmaster Mike K. Den Chiefs Quinn Siedlecki, and Marek Pernis, and Cubmaster Tom Meyer built the box, and the Pack gathered to present it to the Mayor, the Council and Lizz Gagnon, the head of the Clifton Cares project. To mail a donation, make checks to ‘Lizz Gagnon’ and send c/o Clifton City Hall Tax Assessor’s Office, 900 Clifton Ave., Clifton, NJ 07013. For info, email Lizz at gags2120@aol.com or call 973-818-8141.
