Girl Scouts: March! Read all about it!

Hi everyone!

So, March.  What can I say.  There's a LOT going on!

First:  We're solidly into cookie time.  For questions and updates, Ms. Kelly is taking care of everything with the word "cookie" in it.  Her email is kellymatt8476@gmail.com.

Second:  Woohoo!  We folded a lot of stars the last two months!  So, for March our meeting is going to be 100% fun.  We'll have a couple crafty things to do, some games, and double (maybe triple!) snacks!  I'm thinking ice-cream sundaes (no nuts) ?

Here's the link to sign up for the meeting your scout will attend:  www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0A4FA5AD22A13-march

Third:  As I mentioned before, the Discovery World Event that was scheduled for this weekend wasn't available for registration by Girl Scouts, for whatever reason (might have been cancelled?) but since we didn't register anyone, that shouldn't cause any problems.  I'm just mentioning it in case you were still looking at the orginal schedule I sent out back in Sept./Oct.

Fourth:  On the other hand, the World Thinking Day Princesses event IS still on for March 19th (1:45-4:00PM, Whitnall Middle School).  Here's my list, any changes?  Also, for this event, we'll probably need you to bring your scout to Whitnall Middle school, and pick them up afterwards.  Is there anyone that won't be able to drive out to Greenfield that afternoon?  I can help work out carpools as needed!

Fifth:  The FIRST teams robotics competition!  This is a Troop tradition, and is VERY well loved.  Each year, High School students from all over the Midwest build robots to compete against each other in different games.  Their regional championship is at the UWM Panther Arena downtown on March 26th.  In addition to watching the robots compete, the girls get a chance to visit the "pit" and meet the robot builders and ask questions about the robots.  (And usually get all sorts of robot souvenirs--keychains, pins, etc.)  

Here's the game for this year--it looks super cool; the robots have to get past defenses and attack the opposing team's fortress.  http://www.wisconsinregional.com/2016.php

It is a free event, and we would probably go between 9:00-12:00 during the qualifications matches--that way none of the robot teams will have gone home yet and we can meet as many teams in the pit as possible.  So, who can go this year?

Thanks everyone!  See you soon!
