For
our last few meetings we are working on our Innovate Goal. Today the lovely
friends from Wyoming Weatherization Services will
be here to help us with an Energy Audit on the St. Johns Episcopal Church. From this audit we need to implement a plan on
how we can help improve the buildings energy footprint as our Innovate Goal.
This is our last big hurdle to finish our Get Moving Journey! Also, We will be stuffing our animal shelter
adoption bags at the May 5th meeting and then meet at the Shelter to
donate them later in that week.
As our troop meetings come to a close for
the year we need to start thinking about next year. Our girls have done a great
job with cookies and if they are planning to be in Girl Scouts again for the
2015-2016 Girl Scout Year. We are happy to re-register these hard working
girls. Early registration is just
starting and we would love to get these girls registered again for next
year. Please let Jill or Megan know if
you are NOT planning to be apart of Girl Scouts next year.
You all rocked it at our cookie booth on
Saturday! Thanks for all you do to grow in new directions. We want you all to have
turns advertising, using your customer service skills and learning those money
skills. You all did a wonderful job. We sold over 370 boxes of cookies in front
of the Harley store. We will be dividing those cookie rewards between all the
girls that were able to participate.
Thanks for all
your help with Cookie Deliveries!
Remember to wear your vest/sash when delivering cookies!
You must be representing Girl
Scouts appropriately.
If
you have not turned in your cookie money you will need to do so by
April
27th to Jill or Megan.

Upcoming Service Projects:
It’s
Not too late to still help the Animal Shelter!
Bring
what you can to our next meeting!
The best way
we can help the Animal Shelter is by putting together adoptions kits for newly
adopted animals. Things we are in need
of for the kits are: Collars, Treats, Small or large food/water bowls, small
bags of food, toys, pet shampoo, brushes. Really, anything you can think of to
add to a kit for dogs & cats to help them transition to their new families.
We are asking
for a bit of help from the girls with this. Have them involved in shopping for
a few items or trying to get items donated. They are to be involved as little
or as much as they want. All items we are missing we will go shopping for as
leaders and then have the girls assemble and take the kits to the animal
shelter. Every item counts… so please make this a teachable experience within
your/their means and abilities. Please
bring what you can to our next meeting. We will keep you posted on what day we
will actually be able to deliver these kits to the Animal Shelter at the first
Part of May.
