End of Year Wrap Up

We love looking at the pictures from the meetings.  It is great to see the girls smiling, interacting, sharing...while learning, growing and becoming more confident.  We couldn't be happier with this troop.

As a troop we have had lots of smiles and happiness but we have also had some sadness.  Faith Johnson, 2nd grade, lost her mother after a very long and courageous battle with breast cancer on December 12, 2010.  As a troop we will be offering help in any way that we can.  Since her passing the family has had help from immediate family and neighbors, but a time will soon come when we can do something to ease the burden.  We will keep you posted and ask for your help when needed.

You may also be aware of the Sulecki Family of Willow Hill and their need for help since their serious snowmobile accident.  A meal train (click for more information) has been set up by Alisa Kroupa (Emma's Mom).  

We would encourage the girls to help out if your family is in the position and available to help out.  We will get more information to the troop so that the girls can earn a badge for their community service.  Your help for either of these families will certainly be welcomed. 

We wish you all the very best in 2011!  We look forward to more laughs, smiles and shared moments as we continue to strengthen our friendships.
