Hi everyone!
Just a quick couple (or three) cookie notes from me (the only ones, I promise--Ms. Kelly's handling ALL the cookie stuff!)
1) I see a bunch of booths full of girls, but with no parents attending. Girl Scouts will be "spot checking" booths this year to make sure everyone's following the rules (2 adults present, no more than 4 girls at a booth at a time) and if we're not following the rules we can get banned from cookie booths. So please, if you've signed your scout up for a booth, and see that there's no other parent signed up, try to spend some time there with the scouts.
I really want all our girls to get the cool prizes and awards, and sell all the cookies they can so when we put together the summer 2017 trip to Washington DC we can make it an awesome trip for all the girls to remember. If we get banned from booths, that'll be tough.
2) Speaking of unpopulated booths, one of the BEST booths of the year is virtually empty. The booth this Friday at the downtown Pick n Save from 4-7:00 only has one scout signed up to attend. This is the first day scouts will be at booths this year, and historically that's the best time to sell. I definitely understand why some girls can't be there, (16 of you are heading to the Kenosha event!) But if you can do that booth, I recommend it! I'll be there setting up as quickly as a person can drive from Highland View to downtown Milwaukee, but then Ms. Kelly will be taking over at 4:15-4:30 when I jet back to Greendale to drive scouts to that Kenosha event.
3) Did anyone pick up extra shortbread cookies from Ms. Kelly's house last week? We're trying to track down a few boxes that may have jumped ship.
I think that's about it,
Keep Cookie-ing!
