Craft Night - next meeting

Because the next meeting will fall on November 4 and some girls may miss the meeting due to voting and staying on top of the election news coverage we are going to make tomorrow nights meeting, craft night (and we will work on our first badge project at our next meeting)! The girls are going to make cards for the troops as well as an excellent program called Make a Child Smile which is an organization where you send cards to kids with terminal or life threatening illnesses. This is something so small that we can do to lift a child up during an especially hard time, or put a smile on a soldiers face. I am so excited about both of these projects and hope you will spread the excitement to your girl as we let them know how blessed we are to live in a free country; where we are able to walk the streets without fear, speak our minds and go on with daily life. Also, I want the girls to learn how truly blessed they are to be able to go to school everyday without the complications of life threatening diseases keeping them inside and away from friends. Making cards for both of these groups will let the girls know that this is a small thing we can do to make someone else's day brighter. Because we cared!

We will also vote on numerous activities that our troop can participate in. I would love for the girls to be able to make the decision without input from us, the adults and hope that you will encourage the projects that the girls vote for (even if they may be time consuming for you as the parents.) :) Thank you so much again for signing up your girls for this wonderful endeavor and trusting Susan and I to be the leaders that encourage, embrace and strengthen your girls to be and do their very best for themself and others. I really do feel blessed to have had the opportunity to take on a role like this and be able to positively influence our young girls. Thanks again and we will see you tomorrow evening at 6pm at the girl scout house! Bring those creative juices with you. We will not be serving dinner tomorrow night, so please remember to have your child eat before they come. Thanks again! Also, remember to bring your girl scout promise craft that you started at home.
