Meeting notes - 1/6/11

We had a great meeting tonight! It was so much fun to have so many new faces in our Daisy troop.

All new girls received their Daisy t-shirt and bag. They also should have received the Girl Scout Promise craft to complete at home. They don't need to bring this craft back, it is just reinforcement from tonight's lesson.

Tonight we reviewed the Girl Scout Promise, Law & Sign. We also reviewed the Daisy song and made Girl Scout Promise bracelets. We talked about fairness and sharing and how to use nice words when talking to someone.

Thanks to everyone who turned in their paperwork and dues. I'll be sending individual emails to everyone to verify that I have your paperwork and checks.

Decisions made tonight:

1. We are moving the meeting to the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, still at 6pm.
2. We are requesting meeting space at Truman Primary (in the cafeteria) - I'll let you know when that is approved. Occasionally we will still use a residence for special meetings, like Investiture. We'll let you know in advance where the meeting location will be.
3. We are selling cookies - to my knowledge no one has opted out. I will place our initial order before next week's cutoff. I'm going to order conservatively (50 boxes per girl), knowing that we can get more cases of cookies if we need them. If anyone suspects that they will be selling a lot of cookies, please let me know by the end of the weekend so that I can up my initial order.
4. Investiture is tentatively set for 2/10/11 at 6:00pm. I will confirm this date as soon as we have a location. We are thinking of doing a dress-up tea party to go along with the ceremony.
5. The Girl Scout Thinking Day Celebration is 2/19/11. We did not decide to go as a troop, but if anyone would like to go on their own or in a small group, please let me know and I'll get information to you.

Thanks for a great meeting - I'll send you more information as I get it.
