[leaders] Girl Scout X-mas Tree - FYI

Hey leaders-
Our Rockford Girl Scout Christmas Tree WON BEST OF SHOW at the Ford Museum Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony tonight!
Many thanks to all the girls who attended the tree lighting. It was nice to have a group of scouts go up and accept the award. And of course, a big thank you to all the troops and girls who contributed those handmade ornaments for the tree this year! It was evident that you all took time and effort to make your ornaments, and it was a wonderful display of Girl Scout Christmas spirit.
What a nice way start to the holiday season...
thanks,
Corie Ripple

[leaders] Girl Scout Thinking Day 2011

Hello leaders:
Our Cadette Troop is hosting the next Girl Scout Thinking Day in 2011. We are having it on Saturday, February 26 at Assumption School in Belmont.  World Thinking Day gives girls a chance to celebrate international friendships, and is a reminder that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community—one of nearly 150 countries with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. This event is attended by younger Girl Scouts, typically brownies and daisies.

We are looking for other Junior & Cadette troops to sponsor the WAGGGS-affiliated country booths at our event. The booth would need to have information, activities (songs/games/a craft) and a snack representing that country for the younger girls who are attending. The budget is approximately $1.00 per girl, and your group would be reimbursed accordingly. Last year 48 brownies/daisies attended and 6 troops hosted.

If your Junior/Cadette troop is interested in hosting a WAGGGS-country booth, please let me know soon, so that we can plan accordingly. Also let me know the country you are wanting to represent (first come, first served!).

Thank you!
Corie Ripple

[leaders] Girl Scout Christmas Tree - Ford Museum

Hi Leaders,
I am just reminding you all that I will be collecting ornaments at Monday's leader meeting for our Christmas Tree at the Ford Museum. We have about 12 troops making ornaments that I know of, but we'll always make room for more!

Also, I am looking for Girl Scout Cookie Boxes, or Fall Product tins, empty or full ;-), to place under the tree to showcase our products. I will return them to you after the tree comes down in January, so put your name or initials on them. I'll take these at the leader meeting too.

If your troop is making ornaments next week in a meeting, call or email me, and I will come pick them up.

Thanks for all your help and hard work to make our tree look great!
