Girl Scouts: Equity and Combatting Racism Opportunity

Hi!

The group PAGE (People Advocating for Greendale Equity) wants to start working on a community youth and teen equity-promoting project, and was looking to our scout troop to be part of spearheading it.

To start, they want to work with us on anti-racism badgework and learning to be pro-equity leaders in the community.

They were hoping to meet May 22 or May 29th, likely in the afternoon/evening.  

Who is available the afternoon/evening of 5/22?

Who is available the afternoon/evening of 5/29?

This is a great opportunity for the girls, I hope we can make this work!

Girl Scouts: Making Pet Toys at PetPalooza again!

Hi everyone!

The village asked us to help out and provide a kids activity at PetPalooza again this year, so we'll do a repeat of last year's booth where we made pet toy crafts with kids. 

It's from 10-2:00 Saturday with a group late lunch after. Who would be available to join in?

Hi everyone!

I'm making sure we have the car spaces available for this Saturday, so I need to know who's going to the cleanup that needs a ride to or from American Family Field.  Here's who signed up to attend and who I registered with MKE Riverkeepers for Shirts and supplies:

Ellen 

Katie 

Quinn

Evie 

Carrie

Colette

Will you all need rides, or will some of you be driven + picked up from AFF?  (For example, Quinn--will you be riding with Riess?)

If you need a ride, we'll meet at our house at 8:30.  If you're meeting there, try to find us around 8:55-ish at AFF.  (We should be somewhere South of the Tailgate Haus in Gantner parking area.)

Thanks, and see you Saturday!  Let's hope for good weather!

Girl Scouts: Saturday April 9th

Hi everyone!

The girls that helped at the recruitment event today impressed Girl Scouts so much, they asked us to come back next week!

Is anyone available 10-12:00 Saturday April 9th, to go to Frame Park in Waukesha?  (Ride provided if needed, and we'll have some lunch afterwards too.)

Girl Scouts: Next Sunday!

Hi everyone!

Girl Scouts asked if we would be interested in helping at a recruitment event for 4-5 year olds next Sunday from 10-12:00 at Henry Miller Park Pavillion in Oak Creek. 

Who's available then—it should be a lot of fun working with the little ones. If you need a ride, we can provide!

Hi everyone,

I was at Girl Scouts HQ today and asked about Saturday. Based on last week, they had actually considered canceling the doordash "booth" (apparently no one actually doordashed anything last week) and did cancel media visits. (Though our troop is first on the list to call if they need girls to talk on TV!)

They asked if we wanted to skip this week and I told them they should keep DoorDash set up and open for the evening, and we'd probably just drop down to 1-2 girls and have Girl Scouts leave us a list of work we can do around the HQ as volunteers if it is a repeat of last week. (No one else will be there; they're just leaving us a key card and the door dash tablet for incoming orders.)

So, of the girls that had signed up for Saturday:  does anyone desperately want to go? Will anyone be heartbroken if they get to skip it?

Hi everyone!

Just a quick Cookie Update:  

If you sent me your order by 2/15, I have your Cookies....mostly.  Peanut Butter Sandwiches still haven't been delivered, so I don't have those.

Orders that were added on after that I hope to have by the end of the week....mostly.  In addition to the PBS's that never showed up in the first place, Caramel Delites were shorted at Girl Scouts, so they're out for the moment, but hope to have them today or tomorrow.

If you still want to place an order, I can still make that happen, with the notes above (i.e. Peanut Butter Sandwich delivery is up in the air, and potentially Caramel Delites)

Next:

I had a couple girls sign up for the event on 3/12 where we fill DoorDash deliveries and potentially get interviewed by TV/Radio stations.  It's 2:00-5:30 Saturday 3/12.  Let me know ASAP if you're interested.  The DoorDash deliveries are treated like a cookie booth, so anything we fill gets added to your totals!  There'll be media training this week so the girls that are interested know how to best handle the cameras!

I have Evie, Colette, and Ellen on the list.  Anyone else?
