Hi everyone - don't forget our next meeting is this Tuesday in the
Truman Primary cafeteria from 6-7:15pm. To my knowledge, we haven't
been bumped to the library again. :)
Also, we are in need of a
mom or dad who can attend GAP this coming Friday to take a couple of
Brownies and one of the posters we are making on Tuesday and speak for a
couple of minutes on our clothing drive. We can give you all the
information on Tuesday - it's really simple!! Ms. Eislen wants someone
from the troop to speak before we can set out boxes and posters for the
week-long drive. Unfortunately, we don't have a leader that can
attend. Can one of the parents that is already available that Friday
take this on? Please let me know ASAP so we can get you the information
needed.
Thanks all - see you Tuesday!

Meeting reminder & boxes needed!
Hi all - a quick reminder that we have a meeting this Tuesday at 6pm in
the Truman Primary cafeteria. We will be discussing our holiday
philanthropy, so please attend if you can!
We will be handing out badges completed this semester at the Jump Zone party in December, so please have your daughter complete her makeup lesson if she missed a meeting and bring it to me at an upcoming meeting.
Finally, we are in need of a couple of large boxes to use in our holiday philanthropy. If anyone has large boxes they could bring on Tuesday, please let me know!
Thanks everyone - we will see you on Tuesday!

Updates
Emails went out this morning to every family with a Brownie that needs to make up a missed meeting. I attached the makeup lesson information to the email. If you did not receive an email, then your daughter is on track to receive all badges we have been working on.
Also, I am working on setting up the holiday party. The plan is to use a Jump Zone certificate our troop was given by another troop so that there is no cost to attend this party! I am trying for 12/15/12, but I will let everyone know once we have a firm date and time. Siblings will be welcome - I will let you know what the cost is for siblings as soon as I have it.
The girls will also be asked to make a food item to bring to the party, which will complete a badge we have been working on. It will be a great way to celebrate the end of our philanthropy project, receive badges we've been working on all semester, and celebrate the holiday season together.
Look forward to seeing everyone on 11/13/12, which is our next meeting.
Thanks,
Misty

Holiday philanthropy project
The Halloween meeting last week was a huge success! I hope your daughter had as much fun as mine did!!
As part of our Brownie journey, we will be doing a philanthropy project this holiday season. We've chosen to collect clothing items for the Mid-Del Youth Center - they counsel at-risk youths, as well as provide emergency housing for children in need. They need any size clothing, though their greatest need is sizes youth 4-12. Warm clothing, PJ's, coats and shoes are in big demand right now, since the weather has turned cold.
We are going to work with Ms. Eislein to see if she will let us have donation boxes at the school. However, we are also asking the girls to start collecting clothing from their own closets that they have outgrown, as well as asking their friends and family for donations. We will discuss and set appropriate goals that the troop wants to reach at the next meeting.
We are planning on having a special holiday party to celebrate what I am sure will be a successful first attempt at a philanthropy project! If you get a chance, please discuss this idea with your daughter, so that she is prepared to bring a few items or an idea or two on how we can collect clothing items for this wonderful organization.
Thanks so much!

Sunday open house at Truman & meeting reminder
OK, the list of participants for Sunday as I know it is as follows:
Rebekah & Kaylee
Beth
Devon & Madelyn
Remi - possibly
Ava
Hannahlaine
Grace K.
Laryssa - possibly
Niki & Hailey
Abby & I have a family conflict we didn't know about earlier, so we won't be there. However, there will be three other leaders in attendance. Please have your Brownie dress in her uniform. Mrs. Eiselin has asked that our girls show guests around the school during the open house. I think having the girls operate on a buddy system would be a good idea as well.
Mrs. Eiselin really appreciates our help and support!
See everyone on Tuesday - don't forget to have your Brownie wear a costume and act like whatever character she is portraying. We have a fun night planned!

Meeting reminder & other incidentals
Hi all! It's that time again - our next meeting is Tuesday 10/9/12 from 6-7:15pm in the Primary cafeteria.
Please note that this year's meeting doesn't end until 7:15 - we
understand if you have to leave early, but we are scheduling the meeting
to run just a little longer in order to get nearly 20 girls through all
their activities.
You will notice we have more leaders this year - with such a large troop, we needed more help! Niki and I will remain the main leaders, but we are so glad to welcome our new co-leaders Devon (Madelyn's mom), Teri (Sophia's mom), and Rebekah (Kaylee's mom). We still appreciate the parents that stay for the meeting to keep the social conversations at a low volume and to help us track girls escaping out of the cafeteria. Keeping an eye on 20 wiggly girls is a challenge & we appreciate everyone's extra eyes!
This blog has the most information about upcoming events, insignia placement, earning extra badges, as well as a copy of the emails I send out, so check back regularly. We also have a Facebook page (search Troop 3412 & ask to join the closed group), which we post pictures of activities as well as a copy of the emails sent to the group.
The girls are scheduled to earn all or part of a badge at every meeting, so it is important for her to attend if possible. If she does not attend and still wants to receive credit for the badge we worked on, please contact Misty about what she needs to do to make up the badge. Brownies badges require more work than the Daisy badges, but are still easily made up.
For our meeting next Tuesday, we asked parents to pitch in and help us with a list of items so the girls can create their own trail mix and drink. Below is the list as it stands now - if you can fill in one of the blank spots, please let me know! Thanks to those who have already signed up!
Punch bowl and ladle to borrow - Madelyn
Package of M&M's - Grace Koop
Package of peanuts - **still needed**
Small box of cereal (Crispix, Chex or Cheerio's) - **still needed**
Bag of pretzels - Miranda
1 liter of grape juice - **still needed**1 liter of cranberry juice - Kaylee
1 liter of apple juice - Laryssa
1 liter of orange juice - **still needed**2 liter of Sprite Zero - Remy
Cups (enough for 20 girls) - **still needed**Bag of ice - **still needed**
We enjoyed meeting our newest Brownie, Kaylee last meeting and are looking forward to welcoming another new Brownie, Sarah this week. We will plan on having an Investiture ceremony in November for our new girls.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!

Hi Brownie families! We have been invited to the Juliette Gordon Lowe birthday bash! They get a chance to interact with older Girl Scouts, sing songs, eat cupcakes, etc. The girls that went last time really had a great experience! See the email below from Troop #3313 for more details. We have been asked to bring 2 dozen cupcakes for the event - do I have a parent willing to make or purchase the cupcakes for the event?If your Brownine would like to attend, please RSVP to me by October 10 (next Wednesday).

Back to School!
Hi Brownie Families! It's back-to-school time already...
We are tentatively planning on starting meetings again the second Tuesday in September, 6-7:15pm in the Truman Primary cafeteria. We are waiting for the District to approve our meeting space request, then we are ready to start - I will let everyone know once we have approval. We will be making our Brownie t-shirts as our craft!
Please remember your checkbooks for the first meeting - dues are $12 to Council and $15 to the troop for supplies (this is for the year - it covers supplies, badges, snacks, etc.). I have attached the annual forms to the email - you can fill them out & bring them to the meeting, or just fill out a copy there. As we have had multiple issues with receiving payments, we are asking that all payments be made at the first of the school year. If this is an problem for your family, please see Misty about a scholarship form for a Council or Troop sponsored scholarship. If you still have a balance from last year, you must bring that account up-to-date before we can re-register your daughter for this year.
There will be a sign-up list at our first meeting for a few things we need help with. None of the items on the list take a lot of time individually, but will save the leaders a TON of time!
If anyone's company would be interested in sponsoring the troop for a charitable donation please email me - we would love to be able to afford a special troop outing or be able to sponsor an additional girl or two!
Below are links to the Facebook page & the blog - as emails often get lost in the shuffle, please consider using one or the other to obtain troop information:

Search Facebook for "Troop 3412" or use https://www.facebook.com/groups/266239830069624/
Hope to see everyone soon!

Zoo Snooze was a success!!
The Snooze was an adventure! We all enjoyed our guide Amanda, and all the animals she shared with us. The night-time walk through the nocturnal animals was really intereseting & informative (Misty spent a lot of time dodging spiders & several moms got soaked by a sprinker!). The morning walk through the Oklahoma Trails was fun because so many of the animals were really active.
Visit our Facebook page for more pictures! Search Troop 3412 & request to join the group if you don't already belong. It's a private group, so no pictures or information are available for anyone outside the group. Also, being a member of the group doesn't automatically make you "friends" with everyone else in the group. So no worries about people you don't know viewing your personal pages by joining the Troop's group.
I'm so glad so many girls could go this year - the girls were SO well-behaved & made troop 3412 proud! Looking forward to another great year! Look for more information about Back-to-school night & our first meeting in September soon.
