Christmas Party and Other Girl Scout Happenings

Hi all,

Sorry it took me so long to get this updated, I needed to confirm a location and now I am ready to go.

Christmas Caroling
Our troop will be Christmas caroling at the Barnes and Noble Book Fair on December 14 from 10:30-11:00.  The girls were very excited about this opportunity, especially when given the opportunity to suggest which songs they would be singing.  Please let me know ASAP if your daughter will be Christmas Caroling with us.

Christmas Party
In preparation for our caroling, we will be having our Christmas party on Friday December 13 from 6-8:00 p.m. at Riverchase Community Center in the Missouri Room.  Adults and tag-a-longs are welcome.  I only ask that you RSVP how many, so I get enough ice cream.

Events that will take place at the Christmas Party are:

  • Ice Cream Party - This has become a tradition for the girls since Kindergarten.  I will bring the ice cream and ask everyone else to bring the toppings.  Please let me know what you would like to bring.  In addition to the toppings, I will need bowls, spoons and drinks. 
  • Secret Santa Gift Exchange - Another tradition...at our last meeting the girls exchanged names for our annual homemade gift exchange.  If they have misplaced or don't remember who they drew, I have a list.  We also drew names for Sydney and Oksana since they were not at the meeting.   The rules for the gift exchange are simple.  The gift must be hand made and nothing may be purchased to make the gift.  It is really fun to see the creative things that the girls come up with.  
  • Practice Christmas Carols - The girls made a list of 20+ songs that they would like to sing in the 30 minute time period of Christmas Caroling.  They are ambitious, but I am not going to be the one to tell them something can't be done.  I will have printed words to the Christmas Carols they chose and they can sing their carols.
Meeting Cancelled
Since we will be getting together on Friday and Saturday, I have chosen to cancel the scheduled meeting on Monday.  We will not have a meeting on December 16.
