TROOP NEWS: Week of 10/01/12

1.       Thank you to all who came out for the Fall Kick-Off/ Investiture Ceremony last night.  I hope you enjoyed the ceremony and dinner.  J  I posted a photo of the girls on our website- it’s the only one I took, but it’s not great.  If you took pictures, would you mind sharing (by email, text, link, or hard copy- whatever’s easiest)? 
We definitely had the best turn out of any troop, which is awesome!

2.       Snack this week:  Emma (Don’t forget- healthy snack to serve 15 girls, must be able to explain what makes it healthy)

3.       This week we will do an craft activity that requires toilet paper rolls.  Ideally, each girl will need one.  If you could save rolls between now and then and send what you have, that would be great!

4.       The girls discussed this last week:  Instead of worrying about formal uniforms at school, it would be nice if girls wore “girl scout t-shirts” on meeting days.  The older girls should all have at least one or two (earned from cookie sales?  ones we made last year?).  We will make our troop shirts this year, I believe the week we’re back from fall break.  (Shirts can also be bought from girlscoutshop.com – I’ve also gotten Abby one on eBay and one from Goodwill!)

5.       Next Calendar Activity is CornDawgs on Saturday, October 20^th.  I will let you know when I have a chance to call about the group rate.

6.       FUNDRAISING PACKETS & ADDRESS BOOKLETS DUE BACK THIS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3^RD.  Please don’t forget!  J
