Awesome Troop Care Package

Thank you to Maggie and her family who sent this troop care package over seas.

This is what we will be doing on Sunday is making some care packages with some of our cookies....

Bring some shoe boxes if you have any.

Also, Danielle and Gabby

The cake bake off will be held at 3pm on Sunday across from where we are meeting so if you can bring your cake to our meeting and one of the adults will help you bring them over

Updates

Not sure what has happened but Thinking Day has been postponed. But we will still have our normal meeting at our normal meeting location from 2-4.

I have also paid Greater Atlanta Girl Scouts 7,395 dollars today so we have paid off our cookie debt.

The remaining outstanding cookie money is our troop money... Way to go girls..

I also ordered the cookie prizes and patches. Not sure when they will be in. On the bright side we earned enough cookie dough money so that all girls can register for next year and not have to pay anything but the 5 dollars service fee... YEA.. I will give each girl an application who wants to rejoin for next year and we can get in on the spring registration, if you want.

Numerically challenged

Thinking day is set up for Sunday, March 18 which is the day of our next meeting so we will just meetbatbzoar for our meeting

Sorry for the error. I just retread the email.

So we should be good to go

Thinking day was a lot of fun last year and will be this year.
Please email me or call me if you are coming so I know who will be there.

From 4-5 we will meet outside the church if it is warm if not I will get us permission to meet in a room. We will be making thank you cards for Church of the redeemer who send up another 21 dollars for military cookies. We will be making a few shoe boxes to send to service men over seas. We will include a few boxes of cookies, some thank you letters or cards from the scouts, and anything you want to bring to send over that will fit in the shoe box. (check with your parent and bring things we can send, toothbrushes, toothpaste, chap stick, etc. We will use some of our cookie money to ship them.
Also, I have a few shoe boxes but if you have some bring them. I also have three service people (address to send stuff if you have someone bring their address as well)
