Hi all,
Just a few reminders. If your daughter hasn't already done so, please remind them about the email portion of the Computer Expert badge. I have explained to them several times that the patch work is their responsibility, not yours. The details are posted on the blog.
April Showers is coming just around the corner. I will send out a more detailed email, but please save the dates. The bag drop off will be either April 13 or 14th. Please let me know if you have a preference. I have always done it on the Friday after school, but I got a lousy jury summons and I am afraid to commit to anything on Friday afternoon. The bag pick up will be on April 20 at around 10:00 a.m. and we will be done by 12:00.
Thanks and I'll see you on Monday!

Last Step of Computer Expert Patch
The last step that the girls need to complete their computer expert badge is to do one of two things. They were given the options at the meeting and they have each chosen which they would prefer to do. Some of them would like to do both options.
Option #1 - Send me an email. They can send me a note from your email address. I doubt that many have their own email addresses and I will obviously recognize who the email is from.
Option #2 - Send an email to the President describing something they are passionate about. A link to the White House Correspondence can be found here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments
There is a box at the bottom of the form where you can request a reply. The girls were very excited about this and several of them gave examples of what they feel passionate about. I would LOVE to see a copy of their letters if you can sneak me a copy.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
P.S. The next patch they are working on is a First Aid Patch. If any of my nurse moms are interested in talking to them at a meeting, let me know. I will send you the details of what the patch "recommends".

Welcome Back, Badge and Cookies!
I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. I am not sure I am ready to get back into the swing of things just yet, but it seems that everything is gearing up to go whether I am ready or not.
Firstly, the next badge the girls chose to work on is "computer expert". Fortunately for me, maybe not so much for you, there will be lots of work to be done at home in which they will need help. In. order to earn the patch, they will need access to a computer and they will need printing capability. Please let me know ASAP if that will be a problem. I will make arrangements for them to come over and use my computer to do their "homework". One of the tasks the girls will be doing is using a drawing program/website to create a picture. I will send home iron-on transfer paper for you to print the picture. (I will send more clear instructions home with the girls on Monday.) They will bring their printed picture to the next meeting on January 28. At that meeting, the girls will (with much assistance) iron their pictures onto a mousepad. If you have any recommendations for good drawing programs/websites that are kid/user friendly, please leave it in the comment section on the blog.
Secondly, we will be handing out Cookie Order Forms on Monday. Cookie "Go Day" is not until Saturday, January 12. Girls are on their honor not to start selling until 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 12. In order to receive a cookie order form, you must first sign the permission slip. I will have permission slips at the meeting. If you are not planning to pickup your girl on Monday, please let me know when/where I can meet up with you to get it signed ans get you your order form before Saturday.

Winter Court of Awards
You are invited to the
Winter Court of Awards
on
Tuesday, December 18
at
6:30 p.m.
in
the cafeteria at school.
Troops 2229 and 1980 will be presented with all the patches that they have earned since last year.
The girls will also perform the dance that they have choreographed in order to fulfill the dance patch requirements.
In order to fulfill a final requirement for the Brownie Quest, Troop 1980 is asking that all those in attendance bring a pet care item that will be donated to Open Door Animal Sanctuary. (If you click on the Open Door Animal Sanctuary, it will link you to a wish list on their websites.) Their goal is to collect 100 items to donate to the Animal Shelter.
Finally, would anyone be interested in bringing a dozen cookies? My thought is that if enough of us brought cookies or a sweet item (homemade or bought) that would save a lot of money on a snack. Please let me know if you are willing to bring a treat. I'll plan to take any leftovers to the fire station.
