October 26th Meeting

Have  I told everyone what a great group of girls we have…..

What? Not in the last week?

Hmmm… I must be slacking~

WE HAVE THE BEST GROUP OF GIRLS!!!!!

They received so much information at our meeting and took it all in.

We started them on their new tasks of taking over the running of the troop and all I have to say is that we have a great group of future leaders here.

Not only did they do their jobs, but were receptive and offered additional suggestions to make the troop run smoother. Two major decisions were made based on the girls suggestions.

1.     Jobs will be posted on a large poster board JOB BOARD, so that the girls can see their jobs each meeting.

2.     In addition to the sea turtle, the girls have decided to add another animal to our adoption list.  The Penguin.  (Think the movie HAPPY FEET ) They will now be collecting the plastic six pack rings that come with drinks to prevent them from entering landfills and getting animals caught in them.

3.     Have I mentioned we have a great group of girls~

  

·         We will continue on our Journeys Patch program discussing the sisterhood of brownies.

·         Girl should bring a water bottle for snack, large pair of scissors, 2  or 3 aluminum empty soda cans  and a non-perishable for the food pantry.

·         Plastic bag recycle continues…..Bring in your plastic grocery bags for our troop recycler Quincy to take to Riverside foods for recycling

·         Clean up Girls Mia and Mollie will stay 5 min after the meeting for clean up.

·         Please bring dues $60 made out to GS troop 41588 our secretary Tess  will collect and record
