Drug Resistance Fair Prep
Hi,
I just wanted to remind everyone about the girls prepping for the Girl Scout display/presentation at the Drug Resistance Event. I saw the event mentioned in the GMS weekly email from Mr. Weiss! It'll be a good opportunity for the girls to help the community!
I have the wheel from Girl Scouts, we'll have to:
1) Come up with the categories of things we do in Girl Scouts (camping, learning, teaching, etc.)
2) Get those categories on the wheel,
3) Make "cheat sheets" so we have good answers for how scouts can prepare and help provide avenues of things to do that help avoid drugs,
4) Make a backdrop with pictures and information about scouts in general and pictures of things our troop has done.
I'm anticipating 4:00-5:30 (guessing Evie is done with Solo and Ensemble by 4:00.)
Let me know if your scout can help get things ready!
If your scout wants to join in presenting at the Drug Resistance Event, sign up here:
And one other note: I see a lot of great ideas on the Google Doc for Earth Day events! Keep 'em coming, so we can all vote next week!

Girl Scouts: 3 Upcoming events! IMPORTANT
Hi everyone!
3 Important Girl Scout events are coming up, and I need some information from you!
1) Opiate/Drug Resistance Fair Girl Scout Booth 3/28 (next Wednesday, after our meeting, at GHS)
You might remember our scouts were asked to provide a booth to represent Girl Scouts at the Drug Awareness/Resistance event at GHS next Wednesday. After brainstorming with a few of the girls we decided we'd like to make a prize wheel with different categories on (serving, helping, learning, teaching, camping, etc.) and when people at the event spin the wheel, Girl Scouts there could tell them something we've done in that area and explain how that helps them avoid drugs. (For example, if a person spun the wheel and it landed on "serving" a Girl could talk about doing a beach clean up, and explain that it helped them fee good about helping the planet so they didn't need drugs to feel good.)
What we need before that:
A) What girls can represent Girl Scouting at the event? Sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-drug
B) To get together to plan our categories, make a background, and maybe even a "cheat sheet" of activities we've done for each category. I would like to do Saturday Afternoon/Evening. Whose scouts would be available from 4:00-5:30 Saturday 3/24?
2) Earth Day
OK, I've made a Google doc for us to collect our Earth Day ideas. Please add what you can, and if you don't have ideas, please read over what other girls are adding. This weekend, I'll turn the ideas into a Google Form for voting, and we'll pick the one our troop does.
3) Admirals Game/All Time Low Concert for Cookie Sellers.
OK cookie sellers! Since our troop cookie sellers averaged 175 boxes per girl, we earned tickets for all the cookie sellers to go to the Admirals Game and see All Time Low (the band) after the game on April 14th. I'm submitting the order tonight or tomorrow, so let me know now if your scout wants to go! (Scout ticket is free, additional tickets $20.)
Thanks everyone! And our next meeting is Wednesday too, so, expect a sign up for that to come out soon.

Girl Scout Cookie Sellers: Congratulations!
Hi everyone!
I just got news that the cookie sellers in our troop have averaged 175+ boxes of cookies per seller, so the cookie sellers get to go to the April 14th Admirals game, featuring a post-game concert by All Time Low! (Hopefully the girls know who that is--apparently they're pretty famous?)
Every girl that sold cookies gets a ticket, and if there are family members that want to go with, extra tickets are $20 each. Please let me know if you'll need extra tickets--I made a sign up page below. I will be placing the ticket order as one big lump so that we get seated together.
Please let me know if your scout is attending, and if you need extra tickets before March 19th. I would like to get our troop order in on the 20th.

Girl Scouts: Cookie Stuff! (Important!)
Hi everyone!
If your scout didn't sell cookies, then don't worry about this email!
If your scout did sell, or is selling cookies, then keep reading!
First: Cookie money due dates. OK, Girl Scouts took the first chunk of cookie money that we owed them out of our account on Yesterday. Because there were so many families that haven't turned in any of their money yet, we came dangerously close to being overdrawn! (On the flip side: THANK YOU!! So much to the families that are fully paid already--you really saved our bacon!)
Please, turn in your cookie money. The full amount is due March 9th (Friday!)
The only exception to the final due date is if you ordered extra cookies, and any money from those sales are due 1 week after you got the extra cookies.
Second: Cookie booths. The prizes this year are pretty good. If your scout is pushing for more, there are some openings in the booth list. At this time, there's no restriction on the number of booths a girl can sign up for, so feel free to go crazy! And the great thing about selling cookies at a booth--they're already paid for, so you'll never find me tracking you down for money for cookies sold at a booth!

That's all for now!
Happy Cookies!

Girl Scouts: Additional cookie orders this week
Hi,
I'm getting ready to send this week's extra order in to scouts (so I can pick it up and get it to Bonnie's tomorrow).
I have remaining orders for Kahlen, Katie, Carrie, Portia, Teagan, and Adrhia.
Missing anyone?
Thanks! Keep scouting!

Girl Scouts: Cookie Stuff, Meeting Recap, International Fair Info
Hi everyone,
Just some loose ends to wrap up!
First: Cookies! I received additional cookie orders this week from Kahlen, Katie, Liliana, and Portia--did I miss anyone? I will be getting those cookies from Girl Scouts tomorrow, and dropping them at Bonnie's garage that afternoon. She shared her available times below. (Just because she's home doesn't mean she's available for cookie pick up--we're trying to make this as easy as possible!) It would also probably be a good idea to call before heading over for a cookie pick up. If you are picking up an order and don't have Bonnie's number, let me know and I'll get that to you so you can reach out and connect on when you'll arrive.
Sunday Night 600-900 pm
Tues night 400-500 pm or 730-900 pm
Wed night 800-900 pm
Fri night 415-515 or 800-930 pm
Second: The meeting! So much fun again! We played a little game of competitive cooking. In groups the girls made a smoothie, and a salad, and they competed with the other groups to see whose cuisine reigned supreme! The girls came up with some very neat ideas, but the important thing was that they tried new things, and experimented some beyond what they were usually used to. It was also another great opportunity for them to see that they can do a lot for themselves, and are very capable young women.
Third: International Faire--if you are one of the families going: Michelle Persike (Kendra's mom) is our Troop Leader for the night, so look for her and Kendra when you get to Whitnall Middle School. Also, just a reminder--try to arrive at 6:00 and not the 6:15 I had said originally. I'm giving Michelle the display, flags, SWAPS, treat, passport stamps, and craft stuff, but she could use the extra hands to set up!
Fourth: We didn't get to share Earth Day ideas at the meeting, so we'll do that inbetween times. If you could send me ideas your scout discovered, I'll make a Google Doc with the info and the girls can share their impressions and votes for what we should do right there online.
That's all for now!
Aleks
