Meeting Tuesday, January 11
It's almost here, our first meeting of 2011!
We will be talking about community service. How we can help, on any level....big or small, it ALL makes a difference. We will be encouraging the girls and their families to find a way to "help out". We will brainstorm ideas and then girls can discuss with their families. At our next meeting, January 25, we will have the girls share their plans or efforts if they have already taken Action. Taking Action is part of the Girl Scout Quest that they are following this year.
I have put the links on the sidebar for the two Meal Trains that Emma's Mom, Alisa, has graciously set up. Please consider these for community service; planning a meal, preparing a meal, making a small card or paper flowers to add to the meal can make for a really great way to spend some time together and to give back.
See you Tuesday!!!!!!!
P.S. we will also make necklaces with our charms on Tuesday....I know the girls will be super duper excited!!

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.

November 9 wrap up
What a fun meeting!
We are so proud of the girls in this troop. The meeting went great, girls were very supportive of one another during the team building exercise (passing a hula hoop down the line of girls while they held hands....see the slide show!) and sharing of the Family Star's that were created at home. Most of the girls finished their "homework". A few did not and a few were absent. Always know, that we understand that life can get a little crazy from time to time. So if the girls do not complete their "homework" it is okay! Just have them finish and bring to a future meeting. The girls that finished their Family Star earned their first "key" in the quest. We will need for families to respond to either of us by e-mail or phone as to whether your daughter would like a patch to iron on a vest, sash, or t-shirt. All girls will receive a sticker patch to add to the maps in their folders. Speaking of folders......there are some important notes inside and more fun "homework".
The last activity that the girls worked on today was coloring in a shrinky dink. We will shrink the completed shrinky dinks into charms and have them ready to use as charms for either a necklace or bracelet. A few girls did not finish and will have an opportunity to do so at the next meeting in December.
Be sure to check out the photo slide show to the right. The older photos are at the bottom of the page. Check those out if you haven't already. They will not be available after the next meeting.
BIG Thanks to our snack shared by Madison.

1st Meeting Wrap Up
What a fun meeting!
Ask to see the girl's packets that we have sent home. Please have your girls bring the packet to each meeting. It will help them to be organized and to participate. We will add sheets accordingly from time to time.
Today we have sent home a "star" Please read the page below for the instructions. Have fun making your star. Slip your star in your packet and bring with you to the next meeting, November 9. We will have the girls share and then we will add to a poster board so that they can look over them at the future meetings.
