Updates and information!

Hi all - what a FANTASTIC meeting tonight!  We had a great time with our science experiments!  I think I can safely say that the soda geyser was the favorite (just judging by the volume of the screams!)

Several important items below - please read & respond ASAP if needed:

1) Tonight was the final cookie money turn in deadline - several people did not do so, which is a BIG problem.  You will be receiving an individual email from me with your outstanding balances - we need this resolved quickly!  I will be available at my house from 4-6pm tomorrow for those who need to turn in money.  The money you don't turn in is money the troop cannot use for supplies, patches, etc.  It is a big deal to the troop, so please turn in your money - remember, everyone agreed to be financially responsible for the cookies they took.

2) The Ladybug Tea is a free event being put on by another troop.  It is Sunday 4/7/113, from 1:30 to 3:30 at the Norman Train Depot.  It is ladies only, and dress in your Sunday-best!  If anyone else wants to sign up that did not do so already, you must let me know by tomorrow 3/27/13.

3) If your daughter missed a meeting and missed earning a patch, you can contact me to ask for makeup information.  The girls have earned several patches in the last few months, and almost everyone has been given their awards.  Please contact me if you feel like your daughter is missing one.

4) Our next meeting is next week 4/2/13, 6-7:15pm.  This is a different Tuesday than usual - we were asked to switch nights with another troop.  Please make sure to update your calendars.

5) As I told several parents tonight, our troop leadership is in great need of new volunteers.  We are losing two co-leaders the end of May, and myself and the remaining co-leaders are as yet unsure about next year.  We need many more volunteers to keep this large group together.  If you can volunteer to co-lead during meetings (involves running small group projects, setup and cleanup), or take on a specific task for the year such as snack coordination, planning and running a single meeting, keeping the financial records, or recording attendance and badges.....you are needed!!  Please let me know what you can do.

Thanks everyone - see you next week!
