Girl Scouts: Professional Women's Soccer Girl Scout Game with World Cup Players??

Hi everyone!

Since we're STILL trying to put together a sporting trip for the girls to finish the last bit of their badge, one opportunity has dropped in our lap, courtesy of Illinois Girl Scouts and Milwaukee Kickers.

Our soccer team is putting together a trip to see the Chicago Red Stars on August 3rd for a special "She Inspires Me" game in connection with Illinois Girl Scouts.  4 World Cup Starters play for the Red Stars and (should) be on the field in August!  (Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, Midfielders Julie Ertz and Morgan Brian, and Defender Tierna Davidson.)  And their opponent (Utah Royals) have 3 World Cup starters on their team too!  (Becky Sauerbrunn, Christen Press and Kelley O'Hara.)  

The girls will have a chance to talk to one of the players on the Red Stars (not sure who, don't get your hopes up for one of the big names, though it's a possibility).

At the moment, I still have a little room in the van for scouts that might want to go but whose parents don't, but I might need another parent to also drive a carload if we get a bunch of girls that want to go and don't get a bunch of parents that also want to go.  As always, if you drive a carload/work as a chaperone, we'll cover your ticket & parking.

If you're interested, please (1) tell me AND (2) register at the site below BEFORE JULY 11th --make sure you mark the team as "Cheetahs/Bombers U14/15" because we'll be adopting you for the day.  Tickets are $20, but no money is due now--I'll send in money for everyone on June 17th and we can catch up any time.  And make sure to tell me how many you're signing up and whether they'll need a ride or not.

The game is at 7:00PM, and we'll probably leave Milwaukee between 3:00-3:15 to get there around 4:45 since there'll be a Kickers Tailgate beforehand.  Plan for the girls to eat dinner there.

You can also select to get a "She Inspires Me" Red Stars T-Shirt for an additional $5.  

Happy summer, and see you at the parade tomorrow!  (9:30AM on Grange!)
