bead fair on tuesday november 11th from 930am to 1230am, the flyer says to bring a sack lunch, this is optional. i personally wont be able to stay to eat so make sure a parent is available to stay with anyone wanting to eat at the council.

i am working on an event to meet with an artist at a gallery in los angeles, this might come up quickly, i will keep everyone posted. i can take four maybe five girls with me if it is hard for parents to get there. more info to come. maybe one or two parents will be willing to carpool and we can get more girls there.

bring your 5 dollars and charity chore lists (please look up chores in your bead book, i sent home a flyer with chore ideas) to the november 17th meeting. we will be picking our heifer animals and doing a christmas bead ornament craft with cleaver.

kiniya is thursday november 20th, the flyer says it starts at 6pm, i will find out if this is correct asap, please stay tuned for more on this. i was told it was at 7pm and wrote this on a memo so please be aware the time may change.

november 24th meeting is at christine whipp's house

belmont shore parade is saturday december 6th this year.

i have tried to keep everyone up to date, this has been a busy fall. make sure the girls have filled out the first few pages of their workbooks, we are up to page 8 and 9 now. if you havent been to a meeting, go over the first few pages and make sure everyone understands we are working on the "trail seeker" patch which consists of several projects we need to complete during the year. the patch can only be earned if all parts are completed. the service project is either the heifer international donation or the duck patrol. each girl needs to do at least one of these to earn the service project section of the trail seeker award.

this sunday is the duck patrol and the donation is due by november 17th, make sure you do at least one of these options. if you attended day camp, you have earned the environment portion. day camp and/or spring camp out is the outdoor camping portion. we have already done a lot to earn this award, please read more about it in your workbooks. also, please make sure everyone has the bead book, you can get it at camp fire council



thanks!
