Thank you so much for assisting in a successful first

meeting! I think we got off to a great start and that

your girls are ready and willing to learn more about being a

Girl Scout.

Next week's meeting is scheduled to be at my house,

however, we are going to look into using a neutral facility

(at no cost to the troop) to make it easier for our girls to

focus. We realized after the meeting that while we can

make the round robin meetings work, it would be easier on

our girls if we had a neutral room to go to every other

week. If it works out for us, we will be avoiding the

"newness" of each girls toys, backyard, etc.

Some of you asked about donating to the troop. Items

that we need are crayons, scissors, construction paper,

markers, really any crafty stuff you want to donate we will find a

way to use it. Please do a reply all to this email if

you plan on donating something so that we don't end up with

50 scissors. If you do not donate, please do not fret

about it! We are happy that you are donating your

daughter to us every other week!

One thing that Heidi and I are on the lookout for is a used wagon.

It will be used for a mobile garden. Because it will be more than

likely unusable after we are done with it, we are hoping to find an

inexpensive or better yet free one! Please let one of us know if you

happen to see one of a thrift store, garage sale, etc.

Homework - please read with your daughter(s) up to page 17 in your

journals. If they want to do any of the activities in those pages,

please feel free.

Thank you again for a great meeting! If you do not
hear. From me before Friday, our meeting on the 24th will be
at my house.
