Girl Scouts: Preliminary Schedule (Events, but not yet meeting dates.)

Hello everyone!

OK, after a lot of ideas from you, and keeping some troop traditions in place, how does this sound for the events for the year?  (It's also up on our website at:  http://greendaledaisies.blogspot.com/p/2015-2016-schedule.html )
 
Notes:
I tried to set t up so there was at least one event each month and one meeting, but as you can see, sometimes there were too many to pass up!
 
If you know of other events that fit in, this schedule is not set in stone and I'm always looking for new and fun opportunities for the girls, so just pass word along.  I feel like I've forgotten some suggestions folks have made over the years, so if you don't see something you told me about, please re-tell me and we'll figure out how to make it happen.
 
Also, there are a couple different overnight events.  There's no need to go to all of them.  I had hoped they would be different enough that a girl could do all of them if she wanted, but also so that girls with different interests could all find something that would "fit." 
 
Remember:
1)  All events are optional
2)  If the fee would cause you to be unable to attend an event, just let me know and the troop will cover it with no questions asked or tales told.  We want everyone to have all the great experiences they can.
3)  Please give me a list of what events you want to go to ASAP and try to block those out on your calendar too.  If you HAVE to cancel, please let me know as far ahead of time as you can so I can hopefully try to find someone to take your place. (Or, better yet, find someone to take your spot and save me the work and worry!)
 
Meetings will be help in Room 103 (Mrs Bushman's room) at Highland View from after school until 5:00.  UNLESS I CAN FIND A PARENT AT COLLEGE PARK TO HANDLE SETTING UP THE MEETING ROOM FROM 3:30-3:45 UNTIL I CAN GET OVER THERE

Almost finally--note the September 20th UWM Women's soccer game event--if you're interested, let me know RIGHT AWAY!  I got the email from UWM about it today, but in order to get our tickets and patches, I have to get our numbers in ASAP.

And finally finally, meeting dates are ALMOST set.  I'll get that info out when I have a confirmation of the room reservations.
 
Here goes, enjoy!
