Cookie Sales are starting up!

Mrs. Christie has all of the required training and the cookie forms are here! As soon as we get them in our hands I will be sending out an email for a time for everyone to swing by to get theirs. Please keep checking your email. I want to get these out as soon as possible. Remember, cookies are our way of not moneying you to death throughout the year... Plus they are just yummy!!!

Also remember that when school is out...we do not meet. I had several call me to ask. This is our kids' break, so as soon as school starts up, we will too.

Thanks to everyone who was able to go to Christmas in the Park, the Food Drive, and also those who helped pack toys for the less fortunate. Great Job!! I will have a sheet at the next meeting for you to sign which ones that you attended with us and I will be getting patches for each one of those activities.

See you soon,

Julie and Melody

It's that time again. Fall Products are officially back again. I went to training tonight and have all of the packets. We will again be getting 20% of Magazine sales and $1 or 20% of the nuts and candy. I am excited because fundraisers mean activities for the girls and less money out of our pockets. These products are cheap and easy to sell. I will be contacting everyone to get the packets to you.

We are needing help too with meetings if you would like to volunteer. Of course me and Melody will be teaching/leading, and we also have mrs. Kim helping with the Daisies. We really need one more volunteer (or More) to help us out for meetings. We could always use help entering info in the computer, doing crafts, teaching songs...whatever you may be good at, just let me know. If you would like to teach...we welcome that too.

Oct 3-4 is our Service Unit camping trip. We will meet at 3:30 at Cornerstone Baptist Church to leave for Camp Tubb in Rock Island. We will be camping in tents so Daisies are invited, but parents are encouraged to come with those girls. You must be registered with Girl Scouts to do so. Please see me to fill out the appropriate paper work. Any other moms who may want to go may also do the same, but the other age limits do not require an adult. The cost is $10 if you just want to come on Sat. or $15 for the weekend. Tents and food are provided as well as crafts. I need Money and numbers by this Tues. 474-9688
