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!

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!
Missing patches??
If your girl is missing any petal patches or the Blue Buck or Clover award from her rectangular Journey patch, please let me know. We should only have the Firefly award from the Journey patch left to earn.
LOTS of meeting information & upcoming dates
OK Daisy families - a LOT of info covered last night:
UPCOMING DATES:
4/21/12 at 10am
89ers Parade in Downtown Norman
Meet in the east parking lot at Norman High at 9:30
We will be working on decorations during the meeting on 4/10/12.
**We have two parents with trucks to drive the girls, but we still need a couple of parents who would be willing to ride/walk with us to contain kiddos. We need a head count of attendees by 4/15/12.
4/28 2-4pm
Lazy Daisy Day
Lowery Room, NPL
Free fun event for Daisies at the Library! Wear jammies, sing songs & have a snack. Watch a play & earn a patch. RSVP to Misty by 4/13/12. (extended from 4/11)
5/20 2-4pm
Brownie Bridging Ceremony
Andrews Park, east side covered picnic area near the playground
GS Council is funding the ceremony & the older scouts are involved in the ceremony.
It should be really fun! We will discuss during the meeting about uniforms, etc.
We are assuming you are coming unless I hear from you!
7/13 pm to 7/14 am
Zoo Snooze Overnight
OKC Zoo
$250 - the troop is covering the cost of this event
This is the same event we attended last year – the girls had SOOO much fun! It’s an overnight & nighttime walk in the zoo. We need enough parents for at least one adult per five girls attending.
RSVP to Misty by 5/31/12.
First, thanks to all who have already responded to the RSVP deadlines for upcoming events! Please let me know ASAP if you are attending something in the upcoming weeks.
On Brownie Bridging, we are assuming that everyone is coming unless I hear differently from you. At the parent meeting last night, we voted to go ahead and purchase the Brownie sash & appropriate patches/pins so that we can present them to the girls at the Bridging. I am purchasing these supplies this weekend & it comes to $27 per girl - please either bring me a check next meeting or drop one in the mail to me (4905 Portland Street 73072). We decided against the Brownie beanie (Andrea Windes is looking into a cute bow or headband instead - will let you know what we find out & we can vote accordingly). We have also decided to make a t-shirt with tye-dye or spray paint later this summer or fall as a project with the girls instead of spending another $15-20 on a Brownie shirt. The troop will be able to fund the t-shirts and related expenses, as well as patches, etc. that they earn next year.
Since the meeting last night, we have collected all but $475 of outstanding cookie money, (part of the outstanding money is 50 boxes of cookies in the troop's possession). If you know of someone who wants any more cookies, let me know. As soon as we collect the last of the cookie money, then we should be set for the year for supplies, etc. As the girls are brownies for two years, we shouldn't have much (if any) in the way of fees for the next couple of years, unless the group votes to do something special that isn't included in the budget. The only exception is the $12 annual fee that we all have to pay to Council.
**Lastly, if you are not planning on continuing with the troop next year or do not want to purchase a sash for your Daisy for bridging, I NEED TO KNOW NO LATER THAN SUNDAY 4/15, as I am placing the order Sunday night. Otherwise you will be financially responsible for the sash & badges purchased.
This year has been a period of serious growth for our troop. I have decided to stay on as leader, Niki has decided to stay on as co-leader, and we have voted to keep the troop together instead of splitting into two smaller troops. Remy's mother, Angela, and Madelyn's mom, Devon have also agreed to help co-lead the troop. We will still need more parent involvement during meetings/activities and field trips to make sure that we can contain that many girls as well as help direct them in activities. We REALLY appreciate everyone last night who committed to helping more in the fall. The leaders will get a plan together this summer so that we know better what to ask parents to help with in the fall. The girls love being together & we look forward to growing this group together and having many wonderful experiences in the future!
Thanks all - please feel free to contact me with any questions/ideas/concerns!

Meeting reminder
Hi Daisy families~
Our next meeting is this Tuesday from 6-7 in the Primary cafeteria. The girls will be continuing projects towards our Journey Patches!
Parents, I will be giving out several important pieces of information at the meeting about important upcoming dates, uniform information for Brownies, cookie sale numbers, as well as looking for parental input on possible late spring/summer activities, such as Brownie camp. We will also be handing out cookie participation pins & petal patches and Journey patches. If it's at all possible for you to attend, we would appreciate it! If not, you might want to let me know so that I can send you as much info as possible.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

More help needed for the booth sale!
So far, we have three girls signed up to sell cookies on Sun March 25th from 2-4 at the Wal Mart on 12th in Norman. We have 100 boxes of cookies that the troop still needs to get rid of - we are financially responsible for these cookies, which means the troop will be out $350 if we don't work together! Please let me know if you can come for all or part of the sale!
Thanks!
Misty
Thanks!

Meeting reminder & booth sale numbers
Today's booth sale went really well! Abby, Hailey, Garner, Ava, Caroline, Aubrey & Grace sold 120 boxes in 2 hours!! GREAT JOB GIRLS!!
Don't forget we have a meeting this Tuesday at 6pm. IF YOU HAVE NOT TURNED IN YOUR COOKIE MONEY: you MUST bring it to the meeting or make arrangements with Shelly (shelly.shipman@cox.net) to get it to her. We have to make our final cookie withdrawal payment this week & turn in the paperwork to finalize our sale, so we must have the money this week. Sorry to harp on it, we have several families with cookie money still out & we've got to wrap up the sale.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!
Thanks,
Misty

Cookies are wrapping up...
Please remember our first booth sale is this Saturday from 12-2. If you signed up to sell on Saturday, or if you haven't signed up but are able to help the troop for all/part of the sale, please join us at the Hobby Lobby front entrance. Shelly Shipman MUST know by tonight if you have cookies you want to transfer to the troop for Saturday's sale. Please contact her at shelly.shipman@cox.net by tonight, otherwise you are responsible for your outstanding cookies.
If you have cookie money to turn in, we must have it NO LATER than the next meeting on 3/13 in order to make our final cookie withdrawal. If you are not able to attend, contact Shelly this week to arrange a money drop-off to her.
Cookies are almost over! The girls have really done some amazing sales numbers - they should all be proud!!

Meeting reminder & cookie/booth sale info
Hi Daisy families -
First, don't forget about our next meeting, which is scheduled for next Tuesday 2/28 at 6pm at the Truman Primary cafeteria.
Second, please make sure you're turning in cookie money regularly to Shelly. If you have not turned in money in a couple of weeks, you need to either bring it to next week's meeting or contact her to make arrangements to drop it off to her directly.
Third, if you have cookies that you don't think you are going to be able to sell, please contact Shelly or I by the end of next week. We can use them in one of our two booth sales in March, but we need to know before we order cookies for the booth sales, as we cannot return cookies to Council. On a side note, your girl can get credit towards her personal incentives if she participates in one or both of the booth sales - only the girls that help run the booth sales will get personal incentives credits. We will discuss in more detail at the meeting.
We will have signups for our two booth sales at next week's meeting. They are at Hobby Lobby Sat. March 10th from 12-2 and at Wal Mart on 12th Sun March 25th from 2-4. Neither is a huge time investment, but can really help create some revenue for the troop (for things like supplies, badges, etc.). I will be running the 3/10 sale and Niki will be running the 3/25 sale. If you would like to drop your girl off for one/both of the sales, please get with one of us & we can arrange it.
Thanks all! Hope to see everyone next Tuesday!
