Upcoming STEM Event

I'm sending home letters about the STEM event on Sat April 27th.  It should be AMAZING.  They've sold out every year, and this year they've doubled the size of the event!!  Tickets are now $10 Girl Scout and $5 adults- but price goes up April1.  I'll be ordering tickets asap.  Let me know if you're interested in attending!!  The link below has the info from the flyer AND a list of participants/presenters- it's awesome!!  :)

EDIT TO ADD:
Just reread the website- just to clarify:

The $5 adult price is only for registered girl scout volunteers (currently myself, Lisa Leigh, Paola Fachisthers, and Ashley Collinsworth).  All non members (sibling, friend, or parent) tickets are $20. 

Sorry for the confusion!!!

Photos from "Girl Scout Day at the Atlanta Opera"

Had a great time at the "Girl Scout Day at the Atlanta Opera"!!  The girls loved the performance and enjoyed the activities, as well.  And some of us went to the Varsity for lunch- and that's always fun, too.  :)

  

Happy Birthday Girl Scouts USA !!

We celebrated the 101st birthday of GS in style.  

The girls had mini-cupcakes and got to taste Mango Cremes 

(a cookie flavor that's not available here in Greater Atlanta).  

They also made necklaces and took pictures.  Love these girls!!

I don't know if it looks the same for everyone, but on my screen, it looks like my face is on the girl scout on the right.  Hehe!!

TROOP NEWS: Wk of 03.10.2013

1. Snack/ Leader this week: Amelia
   
2. Don't forget- this week is Girl Scout Week!!  Each girl has an agenda of how to participate each day.  I don't have it saved on this computer- but I'll email a copy tomorrow, just in case one got lost.  ;o)  One easy thing is that they should wear either their Girl Scout uniform or a Girl Scout t-shirt each day this week.  :)
    
3. Don't forget, Atlanta Opera this weekend.  If you RSVP'ed to me, you have been registered.  :)  The woman I spoke to was very nice.  She said that parking is abundant and free.  That the event is actually in their rehearsal space (not in a theater), and that the girls will be sitting on the floor.  (Specifically said girls... I didn't think to ask if *WE* would be sitting on the floor as well...).  The performance will be first (Stone Soup).  After that, the audience will be divided into two groups.  One will go to Make Up and the other to Costumes.  Then they will switch.  They will also complete a craft activity and receive a patch.  Sounds pretty cool!!  Performance BEGINS at 9:30am.  Here is a link to the info, which includes the address.

4. Please take a moment to view and respond to the RSVP form on this link.  It includes events for the rest of the year, and will allow us to plan accordingly.  Tomorrow night I attend the Service Unit Leaders meeting, and will get information regarding the end of year activities that the S.U. is hosting.  I will get that info to you as soon as I have it.

5. I NEED YOUR COOKIE MONEY.  If you have not turned in all cookie money, I NEED IT TOMORROW, MONDAY MARCH 11.  I asked that it be turned in Friday.  Because we have unsold cookies, I do not currently have enough funds to cover the percentage we owe to Girl Scouts of Atlanta- and that money is due in the next two days.  This whole situation makes me ill.  PLEASE TURN IN YOUR MONEY!  [When we sell the cookies we currently have in our inventory, that money will go straight to the troop.]

TROOP NEWS: Wk of 03/03/13

1.  Snack this week: Mrs. Welch (Scheduled as Carmina)
2.  Our meeting will be spent preparing for "Girl Scout Week" which is Sunday March 10- Saturday March 16th.
3.  Please pay Mrs. Welch for the Opera if you plan to attend- $10 child & $5 adult tickets
4.  We need to hold a parent meeting as soon as possible.  Please let me know when would work for you- or alternately, what days/times would be impossible for you.
5.  At the cookie booth on Saturday, we sold out of everything except Savannah Smiles and Trefoils.   I've asked other troops if anyone wants to trade but I've not gotten any response at this point.  If you are still in need of cookies for orders that have already been paid for, please let me know- I will acquire them somehow!  LOL  [Sorry for the inconvenience- some got sold at the booth that were meant for orders- I should have been more organized!)

Thank you!  Have a great week!
