Support Pack 25 and Enter to Win a 5-Pack of Tickets to the Aquarium of the Pacific!

Does your business shop at Smart and Final? Do you? How you can help Scout Pack 25, a downtown Long Beach scout unit, at no additional cost to you!

 Pack 25 would like to thank the Aquarium of the Pacific for its kind donation of tickets to enable this promotion!

Scout O Rama, the annual gathering of the Long Beach scout units, is over, but Pack 25, a downtown Long Beach scout unit, is working to sell Scout O Rama coupon booklets to earn funds for camping and the family portion of summer camp dues for their camp experience at Will J Reid Scout Camp  in North Long Beach.  The boys and parents have selected the camp week of July 30-August 3 as their week of choice.  The theme for that week is: X Marks the Spot.

Starting today, anyone purchasing a Scout O Rama coupon book from Pack 25 will be entered into a drawing to win one of two 5-packs of tickets to the Aquarium of the Pacific.  Each book costs $5.00 and contains several coupons for theme parks and discounts at businesses in Long Beach.

Businesses that shop at Smart and Final are in a position to help this downtown Long Beach group at no additional cost above their regular business expenses. 

How, you might ask?

Each coupon booklet contains a coupon for $5.00 off of a purchase of $35.00.  This means that if you purchase a booklet for $5.00, you help a scout go to camp AND you receive a coupon for $5.00 off of your regular purchases!

Coupons are good until 7/31/2012, so businesses shopping weekly can easily use 6 or more booklets.

Additional discounts are included for the Aquarium of the Pacific,  Gladstone's Long Beach, El Pollo Loco, Outback Steakhouse, LEGOLAND, Knott's Soak City, Hollywood Sports Paintball Park, Krispy Kreme, Carwood Hand Car Wash, McDonalds, Philly Steak & Sub.

Persons interested in "Helping the Pack to Grow" by purchasing Scout O Rama booklets should contact pack25cubs@yahoo.com or post a note in the comments with your business address and one of the parents/scouts wil contact you.

Pack 25 would like to thank the following persons and community groups for their direct and indirect support with programming, content delivery, product donations, outreach, camp scholarship assistance, community and location support in the 2011-2012 school year:

Albertson’s, Aquarium of the Pacific, BSA Pack 62, Buono’s Pizza, CVS, Councilmember Robert Garcia, Supervisor Don Knabe, Food Finders, International Elementary School, Long Beach Community Foundation, Dr. Laura Manuel (Dentist), LBPD (Officer Laurie Briney), Los Cerritos Wetlands, Lowell Elementary School 5th Grade Picnic Committee, Neighborhood Resource Center, Orange County’s CU, Patch.com, Press-Telegram, Rancho Los Cerritos, Shared Science, Smart and Final, Vons, Scott Taylor (Proplas Technology), Long Beach Memorial Hospital, Sheri Werick.

Perhaps Ruehle should learn just a little more about all the things the Auditor's Office *does* do,Read More before whining and complaining about all of the things it doesn't. http://www.cityauditorlauradoud.com/office-of-the-auditor.shtml Beyond routinely identifying many areas of waste, fraud, and abuse in City government, the Auditor's office conducts a great deal of non audit-related services each year. Ruehle's comments seem to connote a belief that City Auditor Doud is somehow responsible for investigating and reporting on every bad decision the Council makes or every instance of questionable affiliation found throughout City government. She is not and even if she were, Long Beach taxpayers do not provide her with sufficient resources to do so. Despite that Ms. Doud is, herself, a citywide elected official, and despite her office's consistently excellent work-product, she can only fact-find and report her findings. Beyond her own office, she has no authority to mandate changes in the way other City officials conduct the people's business. Since her initial election in 2006, Ms. Doud's office has uncovered -and reported upon- millions and millions of dollars worth of fraud, waste, and abuse in City government. That's not sufficient for Ruehle who, despite all his complaints, will never consider running for that office himself and showing us all how much better *he* could do.

"...this article is saying that the fact that the city of Long Beach extorts millions ofRead More dollars from its residents in the form of RIDICULOUS parking tickets and charges outrageous fines for them is to be applauded?" No. There is actually nothing in this article that says that but please enjoy these lovely parting gifts.

What has City Auditor Laura Doud done since her re-election other than support anything wanted byRead More Foster & Delong. Maybe people should ask: 1. Why didn't Doud audit the city's transaction where city owned valuable port property was exchanged for swamp land? There certainly was enough controversy about the value of each asset. Wasn't it her job as the taxpayer's representative to look into it? 2. Why didn't Doud audit the amount of taxpayer's money used to support the 2nd & PCH project and the Home Depot project before that. The city was supposed to be compensated by the Developers for ALL of their costs, including meeting costs. However, that is NOT what happened. Millions of taxpayer's dollars where gifted to certain politically connected developers. 3. Why hasn't Doud audited the $1 dollar per year no-bid contracts of valuable city taxpayer owned ocean front property to the Long Beach Yacht Club, Alamitos Bay Yacht Club and other exclusive members only clubs for the wealthy and politically connected do determine what the value of an alternative use might be? 4. Why hasn't Doud audited the exclusive, no-bid, for-profit lease of city owned waterfront property to Steve Conley's and John Hancock's BANCAP company that has made those two men tremendously wealthy at the expense of Long Beach taxpayers? Doud started out with a bang when first elected. Since then, she has been a crony for anything Foster and DeLong related.
