Girl Scouts: Notes and some Action!

Hi everyone!

Some quick notes and an action plan moving forward:

1)  If you haven't heard already, we won't be marching in a 4th of July parade, because there will be no 4th of July parade.

2)  Cookie prizes:  I'm picking them up on 7/8 and will have them for people after that.  I can do drop offs, or pick ups, or however you like.  When I have the prizes, we'll coordinate from there.

3)  THANK YOU from Greendale Schools.  The staff that received the cookies we donated--kitchen workers, custodians, teachers, administrators, child care workers, and more very much appreciated us thinking of them.  

Action items!

So, some of the girls had some great ideas for things for us to do even with some social distancing, so I'd like to get them on the calendar.  Several are online ideas, so if everyone could let me know if there are times/days in general when scouts would be available to meet up online together, we'll get those scheduled in such a way that everyone gets a chance to participate in as many as possible.

Here are the ideas we have so far:

1)  Online Trivia Party!  Girl scout and other sorts of trivia with the opportunity for prizes!
2)  Brainstorming together for ways to take action for social and community justice, fairness, and equality.
3)  Beach Cleanup (With distancing!) 
4)  Archery (With disinfectant and distancing!)

We have July and August to work with. At the moment, it looks like Sundays (any times) and Tuesdays (evenings) are probably, generally the best.  Are there best times within those choices for everyone else?

Girl Scouts: Anyone available at 10:00 Friday 6/12 (Tomorrow?)

Hi everyone!

I just confirmed that the school district will be accepting our cookie donation, sharing them with the essential staff that worked through the lockdown, along with famiies that might need them, and any other staff that are doing their best right now so that school can be successful when September rolls around.  I'm not sure what all the plans are, but they were VERY happy to receive our cookies. 

We'll be dropping the cookies off at the Greendale School District Office (behind the High School) at 10:00 on Friday, and I'm sure it'll be a photo-op that'll make it into at least the various GSD social media.  

So, if there are any scouts that want to get more famous, and are available at 10:00 tomorrow morning, meet up behind GHS (wear your sash!) 

See you there!
