KINIYA is coming up, we are donating to Heifer International (picking animals in an upcoming meeting) we will be talking about "charity chore" tickets tonight: each girl will have 5 charity chore tickets to be redeemed at home, by doing household chores and earning a dollar per chore. this will earn each girl 5 dollars to donate to the heifer international organization. each chore will also earn a bead under "family and community", you can look in your bead book for ideas for chores or make custom chores that suit your family needs. this means 5 yellow beads earned! we will also be continuing our work on the duck patrol (there will be several weekends in the next two months to sign up for a "patrol" time) to be announced soon.
