April 21: Father/Son Pinewood Derby
On Saturday, April 21 at 2:00 p.m. CTW will be hosting a pinewood derby at the Dominguez barn. Pinewood kits are available in the Narthex, and we ask that sons (not fathers) do most of the work on the cars. Of course, fathers will need to do some of the trickier work, but we hope each of the cars will have been mostly built by our young men. If you have friends or family members you believe would like to participate, feel free to invite them. More information will be coming soon. If you need a kit, please contact Steve Altman.
