I will call the church and check on a meeting space for at least One meeting a month at the church so we can be more structured. The girls seem to listen better in that environment. Funny how that works. We will be talking cookies at our next meeting so plan to stay for the front end of meeting! Our Cooking Badge went great. We have 4 girls that were able to sleep over and work together to cook dinner...Breaded chicken  (from scratch) and french fries. We also had an awesome colorful salad with all the works. . For desert they made shakes. and Breakfast we made Pannakokens (oven Pancakes) with berries and whipped cream. Lots of fun the girls had a few reminders, thanks girls for being so respectful of our home and each other! For the girls that did not attend. If you work with your daughter on this badge, please let Katie or I know so we can get the badge once earned! P

The girls have attended this dance in the past years and have had lots of fun! Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested!

They would also like us to pick up tickets this Monday. We ask that the girls be responsible for this payment so we can save for a trip the girls want to do in the future.

Troop can cover initial payment to get the tickets then you can pay Tracy the money due next time we meet.

Call or e-mail soon!  See attach detail below for date & times.

Parents please be prepared to stay at the beginning of our meeting time. We need to let Thais take the lead and talk about COOKIES! We have already been putting the numbers together for our first order. Hope the girls are ready for a great selling season!

We started out the year by working on a new patch, Follow Me Girls, which covers the history of Girl Scouting. The girls did a great job answering questions about Juliette Gordon Low, and some GS history at our last meeting (1/2/12). We'll get back to this patch at some future meetings, and do some more fun stuff like learning Morse Code! This patch also applies to the 100th Year Anniversary Patch. 

The Daddy-Daughter dance has changed a bit this year. It is now scheduled for February 19th. More details to follow!

You will be so glad to hear that our new Leader, Linda takes meeting minutes for the Service Unit. She will be editing my thoughts, I know big job... Our hopes are you can find the info your looking for quicker... This will be your spot to look! Please do still keep in touch, I always love to hear from you all :-)

Did you know you leader earned an award this year! COOL!

Shari Grundy receives Girl Scout Honor!  

Centennial Volunteer,

Girl Scouts of River Valleys Centennial celebrations are now part of history. The scale and success of River Valleys’ events could not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of many volunteers.  We saved 6,000,000 dollars in cleanup costs in efforts. This year’s annual meeting will include reflection on the 100th Anniversary events and would not be complete without official recognition of the volunteers’ many contributions.

It is my great pleasure to inform you that as a result of your personal contributions to the celebrations you have been nominated and received a GSUSA appreciation Pin , for work on Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin Valleys Centennial events.  Nomination recommendations was approved by board of Directors and recognized at the River Valleys’ Annual Meeting held this past Saturday, January 26, 2013. Highlights were noted of your…service and passion for Girl Scouting. Shari was nominated by Tiana Woitas a GSRV CTAP Regional Support staff who directly supported 50 volunteers. Tiana worked alongside Shari with her efforts to make our Rivers Bend Centennial Celebration a Huge success,

…I’ll let you read it J

From the Speaker Darby Nelson and the CEO of Girl Scouts Linda Keene to the staff and volunteers of both Champlin and Brooklyn Park it still took Girl Scouts to make this day happen. Such an honor to be recognized amongst so many volunteers such a huge event!

If you are unable to attend, other arrangements will certainly be made to get your award and gift to you.

Please accept my sincere congratulations on your receiving the GSUSA award one of GSUSA’s most prestigious awards.
