Apparently I've told about half of the moms the wrong date for our first meeting! The meeting is actually 9/13 from 6-7pm at the Primary cafeteria. Somehow I'd gotten it in my head that our meeting was next week & was at the same time at the Truman Elementary Parents' meetings - NOT TRUE! Please come for a short meeting on 9/13 after the first grade Parents' meeting at Truman Primary and we will get everyone's paperwork filled out, dues paid, and have a brief parents' meeting (we need lots of help this year - there are plenty of small things to do that will make a big difference!). We will have a craft for the girls to do, and we will review the Girl Scout Promise & song with the girls to get them back in the groove.
I have had a couple of moms ask me about new t-shirts for the girls uniforms this year - any opinions? I'm fine with the ones we have or getting new ones, whatever the group decides. We will discuss in more detail at the meeting on 9/13. The Girl Scout store has a couple of cute ones at $18-25 each. I also thought this one on Etsy was cute - long-sleeved is $12 and short-sleeved are $10: http://www.etsy.com/listing/55850795/personalized-girl-scout-daisy-t-shirt. Also, we could plan a craft with this shirt & let the girls color it themselves: http://www.colortime.com/c9/GS-Daisy-T-Shirt-p211.html.
If you aren't going to make the meeting on 9/13, please contact me - we have to have all registrations in by the end of September or the unregistered girls won't be covered by the liability insurance. Don't forget that each girl has at least $15 of "cookie dough" that they can use in the Girl Scout store or towards their registrations. I will have the cookie dough cards with me at the meeting.
