TROOP NEWS: Week of 10/14/12

I hope everyone had a wonderful break!

1.  Snack & Leader for the week: Carmina
     Remember- be ready to explain what makes it a healthy snack and you earn step of your "Cook: Snacks" badge!  :)

2.  For the meeting this week: Girls need their notebooks, should wear Girl Scout gear if they have it, and should bring empty TP rolls if you have them.

3.  If you have fundraiser orders/ money/ address books that have not been turned in- everything is entered and will be finalized as soon as I get confirmation from everyone that there's nothing left to turn in.  ;o)  Please let me know one way or the other.

4.  Event for next weekend: We've scheduled a group trip to Corn Dawgs on Saturday.  Cost will be $11 per person (provided we have at least 15 people attend, regular admission is $12).  Please let me know how many will attend in your party.  We will meet outside the front gate of Corn Dawgs at 11:00AM.  To get the group discount, we must arrive/enter together.

5.  Badges & Petals: Who's working on Brownie Badges and Daisy Petals?  We will be working on some during meetings as well, but make sure to let me know when you complete an activity (even just one "step"!) so we can mark it off in the log book!  :o) A few girls asked to borrow badge books over break- remember, you can always borrow a book- please just return it! 

6.  Service:  We will talk about our Operation Christmas Child project this week.  Just a reminder- each girl will fill a shoebox with items for a needy child.  Click here for a list of items to include.  

7.  Upcoming meetings:
10/24:  Leader/Snack is Amelia.  The girls will make troop t-shirts.  The girls will each need cardboard (flattened, empty cereal box- or something similar- should work).  We will be buying t-shirts from WalMart.  If you could send $3 for the shirt, it would be greatly appreciated (dues are still covering fees, badges, etc- no surplus yet!).
10/31: Leader/Snack is Madi.  Juliette Gordon Low was born on October 31st, so we will celebrate her birthday at our meeting that day.  Madi- let's see if we can come up with a festive AND healthy birthday snack.  :)
