Meeting Schedule

Changes, changes, changes...seems to be a theme.

Schedule:
I have opted to move the meetings back to the evenings and to once a month rather than twice.  I feel that this will allow them to start acting on a lot of the extra-curricular activities that the girls want to do without making schedules insanely busy.  We will most likely add at least one "field trip" each month. Location will be the same. (I am not posting because this is a public blog.)

All meetings will take place from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. on the following Mondays:
September 30
October 28
November 25
December 16
January 27
February 24
March 31
April 28

Drop Off/Pick Up
You must come inside the building to pick-up your daughter.

Snack Schedule
I do ask that you sign up to bring a snack and attend (or send a representative) at least one meeting. Those of you who have not signed up, please send me your first and second choice ASAP.

Here is the schedule so far:
9/3- Leslie
10/28 - Anndee
11/25 -
12/16 - (I bring ice cream) Ice cream toppings needed
1/27 - Jo
2/24-
3/31-
4/28 - Jody

Simple snacks like Teddy Grahams, Cheese It's, Oreos or pretzels work best.  They do not have to be individually wrapped and you can make them at home.  I have a water pitcher that I fill in the fountain, so drinks are not necessary.

Parent Meeting Information - Registration and Fees

Thank you to all of you that made it on Monday.  This next few blog posts basically recap what we went over at the parent meeting.  Please review the entire update and any that follow.  If you have any questions or issues, the best way to contact me is via email, cell phone or facebook.  My phone will only accept texts from other iPhone users.

Obviously, there were some registration changes this year.  Girl Scouts of Eastern MO is encouraging all families to register online, if possible.  If your family requires financial assistance, you don't have access to a computer or aren't comfortable paying via credit card online, you can still do the paper form.  The additional change is that it is your responsibility to complete and mail in the paper registration to the Girl Scout Council. If you would like the paper forms that you need to submit, please let me know when you would like to come to my house to pick them up.

Any adult that stays in the cafeteria during meetings, drives to field trips, etc. MUST pay the annual $15 registration fee and must submit to a one time background investigation done by the Girl Scouts of Eastern MO .  Adult registration is also done online, but can be done via paper as well.  Just let me know when you want to pick up the forms.

Fees:

Because you are already paying the $15 annual fee to Girl Scouts out of pocket and the troop is financially stable, the will be no additional dues collected.  

I strongly believe in the girls raising their own money to pay for the things they want to do.  So, we will be participating in Fall Product Sales as well as Cookie Sales.  More information on that to follow.
