Trainings!!

Melody and I just completed some new age level training and a weekend of camping training at Camp Nee Kah Nah. We had a great time and have lots of things to share with the girls at our camping trips to come. Please see all of the activities on the list of things to come. You should also get an email from us in the next little bit with some more detailed Info.







Our list of things to come!!!



October 5th-6th {leaving around 4:00pm from Cornerstone} Our camping trip to HOLLOWAY-



This camp is located in Robertson County. If you would like a map of how to get there in case of emergencies, please email me. They won't let me put a link on our page for security reasons.



We will only be staying one night this time to let them get the feel of it. Our next venture this winter will be a larger lodge, and then on to tent camping.



For this trip the girls will need:

Please pack as minimal as possible! NO VALUABLES OR JEWELRY OTHER THAN EARRINGS!

• $5 for supper Friday night {we will be stopping somewhere like McDonalds,etc.}


• Change of clothes, including pjs and a jacket and pants for nighttime


• Sleeping bag and pillow {they may bring something to sleep with-stuffed animal, etc.}


• Toiletries {they are welcome to bring shower items, but it is not required since it is 1 night-mostly just a brush and toothbrush}


• tennis shoes or other closed toe shoes and socks


• Rain gear-either a raincoat or poncho {we like the .95 ones at wallyworld}


• Pack only the required items....no toys, games, ipods, cdplayers, mp3 players, etc...


• Please bring booster seats if still required to ride in one.


• Bandanna


• Completed Health form CLICK HERE TO PRINT ONE OUT-make sure that you put good phone numbers on there in case of emergency. You DO NOT have to fill out the immunizations section.

**IF YOU NEED A RIDE, PLEASE CALL US IN ADVANCE!!!!**We have a mom going by most of the schools

We should return around 3:00 or 4:00pm on SAT

Other upcoming dates:



October 8th: Meeting at Bridgestone Learning Lab @ 6pm and please bring all candy and nut money.
Directions:
Once you come through the main gate to Bridgestone, follow the road to the guard shack. Tell them you are with the GS Troop 1142…and they will let you through the guard shack gate. The Learning Center will be the 1st building to your left and there are two entrances to the parking area…We should be in Conference Room 1 or 2 on the left once you are inside the building. We will probably be the ONLY ones there in the evening hours so it should be easy to narrow down.


October 9th- I must have all candy and nut money by this date to deposit into the troop account so we can pay for all the sold items.



November 30th- Radio City Rockettes at Grand Ole Opry- Please see the link "ROCKETTES"

We will leave right after school for this and we will get a badge for this also. The troop is buying 20 tickets so we will give all the girls a chance to sign up and then adults accordingly. (If all the girls go, that will give 4 adults tickets, if only 10 go, then 10 adults and so on.) This is a neat program. We will pay half of all the tickets, so each would only be $5 and you get the badge, the show, the educational thing, and refreshments. Put this on your calendar!

Prayer!!

Please keep Crystal Roberts in your prayers. She is a member of our troop. {she is a junior} She was in a bicycle wreck yesterday and was sent to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital with a Head injury and severe facial injuries. Me and Mel will be taking food and money to her family to help them in this difficult time. As of last night, they were going to induce her into a coma-like state to keep her comfortable and to assist in checking out the severity of her injuries. Please keep her in your prayers, and if you would like to donate any money or food, please use the email link to let us know. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Long Time - No See!!!

The summer is flying by quickly, and talk of school is just around the corner. Please don't think that we have forgotten about all you guys, we have some things in the works. We are trying to nail down a date when the majority will be able to get together and do a camping trip, and we definitely will have a cook out to celebrate another year of being together. We will be posting dates and making calls as soon as possible.

In the meantime, or Fall Products sales will start in just a short while. The dates for sales this year will be August 27-September 14.
Last year we just asked that each girl sell one item and most everyone did. We actually made quite a bit considering we didn't really put forth much effort. This year we are going to get started a little earlier and try our best to sell what we can. We understand that everyone starts selling items as soon as school starts, but every little bit helps us be able to do more without having to dig in our own pockets to fund trips, etc.

We are so excited about this upcoming year, and we hope that you are too!!!

Talk to you all soon..... Melody and Julie
