Girl Scout Leaders,
We just received a request to help out at the "Reading Rocks in Rockford" festival in downtown Rockford sponsored by the Rockford Rotary on Saturday, August 7. (Yes Tomorrow! They had sent a request earlier this week, but due to some vacations and delays, we finally touched base today. )
You can get more information (and some coupons) at the Rotary website, www.rockfordmirotary.org.
Sue Bodenner is the contact at the Rotary Club. They are hoping some Girl Scouts can help in several ways.
1. Hand out brochures at the Farmer's Market
2. Promote the storybook boards by the museum
3. Help run prizes/drawings stations (not taking money)
4. Guide storybook characters in costume (because they can't see in those big heads. For older scouts only)
5. Maybe some other ways if you have any ideas
And Sue wanted to invite girls and leaders to attend the event and think about more ways Girl Scouts could be involved in the future as the event continues to grow.
This is a great community service opportunity and can help meet requirements for several books/reading try-its, badges, IPPs.
You would not need your whole troop; maybe just a few girls or just you and your daughter. SCOUTS SHOULD BE IN UNIFORM.
Contact Sue directly if you are interested in helping. Her phone is 866-2002 or email is sbodenner@gmail.com.
Thanks!
