Hi everyone—
I hope your girls came home happy from our meeting. We have been doing a lot of talking, and I am trying to make our meetings more fun and crafty and gamey.
· Our cookie booths are scheduled, thanks to Sylvia:
Fry’s, 2/27 and 3/14
Safeway 3/13
Basha’s 3/14

· We created our Family Fun jars at the meeting. This can be used as one requirement for the Family Living Skills Badge (found only online!) for Juniors or the All in the Family try-it for Brownies. To get this badge, your brownie will need to finish 3 more things and juniors will need 5. Most of these are very easy.
· We have our Thinking Day event down in Phoenix, on February 6th, 9-3. France is our theme, and we talked about simple costumes. I will get more details out soon.
· I read in the paper last weekend how many of our state parks are closing due to budget deficits. Riordan Mansion in Flagstaff will be closing Feb 22nd! Would anyone like to go up on Feb 15th for a tour? No school that day!!! Girl scouts have a patch for it. I’ll see if we can schedule a tour.
· I am thinking about signing us up for an overnight camp at the Phoenix Zoo on May 15th. We’d get to work on our animal/wildlife badge/try-it.

COOKIES!!

COOKIES...COOKIES...COOKIES!!!
Ok, we had our first cookie selling event yesterday and we are gearing up for more. Sylvia and I will putting together our plan for our activities for the rest of the year. I will also be updating our calendar, etc.
I have also added a link to a door hanger that I made for Molly, for those pesky cookie customers who aren't home. :)
