Fun Meeting Today!

We had a pretty low key, relaxing meeting today. The girls have been working really hard, so we took a bit of a break. We discussed their Smart Shopping activities--such great meals the girls planned! Then we decided to be festive and the girls made Turkey Wreaths. It was a really fun project and the girls did such a good job. I hope you find a special place to hang the wreaths.

Here is what I have received for volunteers for the Gift Wrapping in the PX--if you can help us out with the remaining times, please let me know. (Yes Kathryn is going to be there the whole time--that's what happens when I already have to be there:)) I will take as many girls in each time slot as want to come so.... sign on up:)

Parents,

As I’m planning out the remaining time we have before Christmas break I am realizing it is going to be REALLY busy, but also REALLY fun!! I hope you are all able to participate in as many activities as possible.

Here’s a quick run-down:

25 Nov (Tues) 1600-1800 in the school cafeteria we will be attending a presentation on Native American culture and how it relates to scouting. It should be a great experience--the girls who attend will each receive a patch. Parents/siblings are invited to attend as well--this event is open to the community. If you want your daughter to attend without you please make sure you return her permission slip to me.

3 Dec--we will have a regular meeting and hopefully finish up our 2nd Key and also our Eat Right Stay Healthy Try-It.

9 Dec (Tues) 1815-1945 Caroling in Villaggio. This is an annual event that the Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts do together. I have attended with my family the past 2 years and we have had a great time!! The Cub Scouts will be providing Hot Chocolate following and the Girl Scouts provide cookies so please bring a dozen cookies with you that evening. Girls will get a patch for this event. This event will be cancelled only for steady rain so please dress for the weather.
10 Dec--our regular meeting we will be working on gifts for our parents--so I will say no more…:)
We will also be putting together gifts for the Angel Tree project.

17 Dec--our last regular meeting before Christmas--we will be having a mini party and making Gingerbread Houses. If you are able to send in a bag of candy that day for decoration, I will provide the graham crackers (yep we are cheating) and the frosting. A patch will be provided for this activity.

So now the reminders of what we need from now until Dec.:)

• Permission slip for Native American Cultural activity if you are not attending with your daughter
• Dozen cookies for caroling on 9 Dec--permission slip if you are not staying with your daughter
• $3 for our Angel Tree donation (by 3 Dec)
• A family favorite holiday recipe by 3 Dec (these are for a holiday surprise)
• Candy for gingerbread houses (by 17 Dec)
• Money for brownie book/vest/sash if you have not given it to me or Mrs. Hacker yet
  

It really seems like I have been asking for a lot of stuff lately--if it is ever too much, please just let me know. I don’t want anyone to be overwhelmed.
