First,
Candy orders are due by the 12th. If you have not given it to me yet please make arrangements to get it to me asap. I need to place the orders and send in the information to counsel...
Second,
We now have a home for our Girl Scout troop. Are meetings will be Kroger at Highway 78 and Rosebud in their meeting room. Our days are the same as the schedule I gave you we will just meet at Kroger.. Thank you Gretchen for making the calls for me.
Finally OUR MOTHER DAUGHTER camping trip. The girls are thrilled and excited about this trip. Moms if you can not make it your daughter is still welcome to come, another mom will inherit your child.. we don't want anyone to miss out just because a parent can't come.
Camp Timber Ridge in Mableton. You can get directions from the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta site or on this web site later this week or next. We leave next Friday and dinner will be at the camp site. Hotdogs and hamburgers are what the girls have decided upon. Should be a lot of fun. We have planned a few things.
