For our meeting today we are celebrating Girl Scouts Birthday. Girl Scouts was officially established March 12^th, 1912 by Juliette G.

To celebrate we will be encouraging the girls to do a Random Act of Kindness every day this week to spread the joy!

         

Date for Cookies Arrival has CHANGED!!!

Due to high cookie sales the baker is having trouble meeting demand and our pick up date has been pushed back to March 27^th-April 2^nd.  We know that this is right at the start of Spring Break. Please make arrangements with us if you are not going to be in town during these days. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Will keep you updated on this date as it gets closer. We get short notice on when the truck will actually deliver our service unit cookies. Delivery will be @ the same location as last year.

@ 1255 Fawn Circle in Green River @ The Lee’s Home. It is very important that you are flexible and pick up your cookies the day they arrive  You will be counting and signing a receipt for the cookies you pick up to make sure everything is accurate. You will also sign a receipt when money is turned in for the same reasons.  We will keep you updated as cookies arrive that week via Text.

Our Booth Sales dates are now April 3^rd- 26^th

The Frozen Frenzy sale will remain open until March 26^th. We will pull these cookies sold and add them to your initial order. You should have received an email about Frozen Frenzy with an attachment to print the form. We have some printed if needed.

Frozen Frenzy

Are you shocked the pre-sale is over already? 

Wish you had the chance to reach out to those you may have missed? Didn’t quite make your goal? Great news! Join the Frozen Frenzy and have the ability to reach your goals and make sure you haven’t forgotten anyone.

February 27th through March 16th, when a girl sells 36+ boxes of cookies, she will receive a GSMW Frozen Patch and will be entered to win one of 10 Frozen Elsa Build-a-Bears.

 

Want to up the odds of winning a Frozen Bear?  For each additional 12 boxes sold, the girl will receive an additional chance to win a Frozen Bear.

We certainly hope the cold doesn't bother you during the remainder of the cookie program, but we hope you get excited about being in the Frozen Frenzy!

A cookie form was sent with this email. I can't seem to attach it at the moment. I printed off extra forms please contact me if you need them.  -Megan

DELAY IN COOKIE DELIVERY INFORMATION!

Information sent from Council:

Little Brownie Bakers notified our council there would be a delay in the delivery of Girl Scout Cookies. Delivery of Girl Scout Cookies will now take place March 27-April 2.

Although it is disappointing that we have to experience a delay, this extra week gives girls a fantastic opportunity to strive toward their goals by continuing to take orders.

Once cookies arrive in Montana & Wyoming, we will have plenty of cookies to support the girls in exceeding their goals.

As a result of the delayed delivery, the sale has been extended by one week.
    -Booth sales will be April 3rd-April 26th.
    -Frozen Frenzy will remain open for participation until March 26th.

FYI-Girls are interested in visiting one of our local Dams to have a tour and learn about Hydro-Energy. We will be doing this event in the spring. This event will go towards one of our Journey badges.  

Our meetings from here on out will be focusing on the girls making plans to finish their Journey badges. They will be choosing an activity to accomplish together that will help our community with the knowledge they have learned about energy this year.  It should be a great time, but may add to our schedule depending on what the girls choose.
