Bridging rain-out plan

OK all, the rain-out plan for Bridging is the Lowery room at the Library.  We are supposed to go to the park first & will be directed to the library once the official rain-out switch has been made.  See everyone at 2!

Thanks!

Brownie Bridging reminders

Hi parents!  A couple of reminders for Brownie Bridging this weekend:

1) The event is on Sunday from 2-4 at Andrew's Park.  We will be located in the covered pavilion near the playground.  I would suggest bringing some portable chairs if you'd like to sit down.  They are expecting about 200 people in attendance (94 of those are from our troop!).

2) Don't forget that if you haven't paid the $36.25 for your daughter's Brownie uniform, I need a check this weekend!  I have to do our end-of-year finances report for Council, so I need everyone paid & off the books.

3) You don't need to bring anything for the ceremony - everything is provided.

4) As of yet, there is no rain-out plan.  If it's looking stormy, please call me to verify that Council is still having the event at 834-6247 or email me at misty.osburn@gmail.com

5) I've attached a picture of the book we are using this fall - you are not required to purchase one, just FYI.  I have a copy for the troop, though you can easily pick one up through Amazon if you want your own copy.  We haven't had luck getting the girls to use their own copies yet, so I didn't want to ask everyone to buy one unless it looked like we were going to use it heavily.

6) I've also attached a copy of the insignia placement sheet for Brownies so that you will know where to put all the new patches.  Most of them now come with iron-on backing already.  I highly recommend a product called Badge Magic for everything else.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Bridging info & our upcoming meeting

Hi Daisy families!

For our final meeting next week, we are planting flowers in the front flower beds at Truman Primary as our service project to earn our Clover Journey Award for making the world a better place.  If at all possible, please have your Daisy at the meeting, as this is the one opportunity we have planned for this badge.  Also, anyone who could bring a garden spade or two would also be appreciated, so that the girls aren't all planting with spoons :)

Second, everyone that is continuing on with us to Brownies in the fall has RSVP'd for the Bridging ceremony - THANK YOU!!  However, I didn't know I was supposed to get an RSVP for everyone attending - they need a head count for refreshments. Could you please let me know ASAP how many people from your family will attend the Bridging ceremony?  Also, we are planning on bringing some of the portable foldable athletic event chairs to sit on - I would assume they will run out of seating in the pavilion.

Thanks it!  Hope to see everyone next week!
