happy new year!

no meeting until january 12th, we will be talking about upcoming candy sales.

i need a volunteer parent to pick up the candy from the council during the three day pick up at camp fire wed jan 7th-friday jan 9th (appointment is needed). this year we dont have kathleen so i will need more help getting through the candy sales. picking up the candy will be a pretty big job (physically hauling it to your house) and then being available to pass it out to everyone. once the candy is passed out though, thats it for that job. we will talk in more detail about candy sales at monday jan 12th meeting.

wednesday january 14th is the candy sale kick off potluck dinner at 6pm (for all the groups in our area). it will be at our church (i will quickly post any changes for this event if they come up). we need to sign up for items to bring, please mark the date on your calendar and check the blog for more details as i get them. there will be lots of info for kids and parents at this get together, it is also a fun event for the girls.

candy sales begin friday jan 16th and runs through feb 16th, i will get the final turn in money date when i learn it.

no meetings on mondays jan 19, 26, feb 2, 9, 16. we will resume meetings on feb 23rd. candy sales will be ongoing during jan and feb, with sign ups at the jan 12th meeting (if they are available) and through emails. without kathleen this year, i will be depending on parents to be organized and follow through with store sales. i will be working with christine on how we will work out the details. candy sales works best if you attend the store events so please sign up for these.

thanks!


we have snow at the cabin, is anyone interested in a weekend getaway? i have a neighbor who wants to teach the girls to make candles and we could do some sledding. let me know if anyone is interested and we can try to plan a weekend. all the weekends in jan are available.
