Lemonade Stand & Zoo Snooze update

We have 6 girls signed up for the lemonade stand & 12 for the Snooze!

Please have your girls wear their Daisy uniforms this Friday for the lemonade stand so that they can show off all the patches they earned as Daisies.  I will meet everyone in the lobby of the Warren at just before 1pm on Saturday.

More info to come soon about the Snooze.

Looking forward to it!

Zoo Snooze & lemonade stand

Hi Brownie families!  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer - I know we are!

There are two upcoming events that I need RSVP's for:

1) The Zoo Snooze on 7/13-7/14.  So far I have the following girls' RSVP's: Abby, Hailey, Ava, Remy, Sophia, Miranda, Madelyn, Sophia, Grace K., Hannahlaine, & Laryssa.  Niki and I are both attending, but we need 1-2 other moms to attend.  If any other girls want to still RSVP or if any moms are already planning on going, please let me know by next Friday 6/15. There is no charge to the girls for this event.

2)  The Warren has invited our troop to run a lemonade stand on Saturday 6/23 from 1-5.  Our troop will receive $0.50 from each cup sold & each girl that participates will also receive a free movie ticket to use at a later date.  This has the potential to make our troop a nice extra chunk of change for a few hours of work!   Niki will be at the theater working, but unable to run the sale with me, so I will also need 1-2 other parents to help.  Please let me know by this Sunday 6/17 (Father's Day) whether or not your Brownie could come for all or part of the sale. I need to determine if we would have enough participants to successfully run the booth.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

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!

Meeting notes 4/24/12

We had a really good time with the Cadettes!!  Thanks so much for Yvonne & Caroline Maloan for making it happen - we look forward to another opportunity to do something together.

Parents, please check the newsletter I sent home, or the dates listed on the right side of the blog, or the dates listed on Facebook - there are several upcoming events & RSVP dates looming close.

Our final vote on Brownie uniforms:

Vest $6.00

We are making our own shirts, which will average about $5.00 each

Council ID patch $6.00

Insignia $2.50

Brownie Pin $1.50

Wavy Flag $1.75

Numbers $5.00

Membership star & disk $5.00

Hair bow $3.50__________________________________

                                            TOTAL PER GIRL:  $36.25

Please get a check to Misty for your soon-to-be Brownie’s uniform by Bridging on 5/20. 

If that will be an issue with payment or if you wish to use cookie dough that hasn’t been received yet, please email Misty at misty.osburn@gmail.com or call 834-6247 and we will figure out a payment schedule.

The only fee that should be left for the 2012-2013 school year is the annual $12 registration fee due to Council in September.  However, I think that each girl sold enough cookies to have ended up with enough cookie dough to cover the expense. Who-hoo! We will receive those gift cards in time for the fall registration.
Thanks,
Misty 

89ers Day Parade

Meeting reminder & Lazy Daisy Day info

Hi all - this is a reminder that we have a special meeting this Tuesday from 6-7 at the Truman Cafeteria. We have a troop of Cadette Girl Scouts coming and leading our meeting, which should be SO much fun for the girls! I hope everyone can make it!

Also, for the families that are attending Lazy Daisy Day, I need two parents that are able to stay & help corral kiddos during the event other than myself. Niki has to work & is unable to attend, so I need some help! :) Please let me know if you will be staying and are willing to help me keep track of our girls.

Thanks so much all - we have some fun events in the near future & I know the girls are really looking forward to them!

Misty

Cadettes!!

Don't forget that our next meeting 4/24 is being run by Caroline Maloan's older sister's Cadette troop! Our Daisies will have the opportunity to work with the older girls for the entire meeting! I hope everyone can come!
