parent meeting

thank you thank you to everyone who came last night, great turn out!!!

we went over the calendar (which was handed out at last meeting and mirrors the blog post april-june)

starting in May, we will start our meetings at 5pm and see how it works out. please let me know if you need me to pick up your child if you have a conflict with time, i would be more than happy to pick up and drop off kids (i can easily take 3 each monday)

this saturday is the camp clean up, not many (if any) people can go, please try if you can, even for an hour. i am doing my best to get there myself. (i believe it is 830 to 1230 with a free lunch after)

for the mother daughter tea meeting (first meeting in may) please bring a cardboard photo box and camp fire pictures to decorate the box. mothers and daughters will work together on this project. if you dont have many pictures, please go to either of my blogs and drag/drop directly from the blog and/or go to my flickr account and look at the camp fire bluebirds folder. you can "steal" pictures by dragging and dropping them on to your desktop, then use iphoto (or similar photo program) to print them out. let me know if you need help with this, i can send pictures to a few of you but dont have time to do everyone. there should be quite a lot to choose from.

spring camp out: kim and i will be sleeping over with one large tent (i have two small tents as well that can hold 2 to 3 girls each) so we can have a pretty large crowd staying over. we didnt figure out dinner yet, but kim and i will work on that. you can come for dinner only (2 dollars and stay for the ceremony) or sleep over (5 dollars) you pay on your way in. set up starts at 4pm, chris will be there early to set up tents and dinner should be around 6pm. pancake breakfast is in the morning, please come and eat your 40 dollars worth of pancakes!!!

grand council fire: formal event, uniforms (white only under vests, turtlenecks and polo shirt), sit upons and flashlights. we will be doing the lighting and extinguishing of the fire, very exciting! we need to arrive at 6pm, ceremony starts at 7pm (not sure why we need to be there an hour early, i will look in to this) grandparents are welcome to this event. parents may want to bring a blanket to sit on and/or small chairs. there may be seating on the lower levels??? this is our first time to this event.

garage sale may 2nd. (i forgot to mention this last night) please bring items directly to the garage sale on the morning of may 2nd at the church (palo verde and willow, white gondola and teddy bear sign) if you can't make it that morning but have some items, you can drop them off with me at my house prior to saturday. the money we earn from this will be put into our kitty for day camp food. this is a GREAT way for our girls to earn some money and i would love to have a few girls help out that day. the sale starts at 730 am and the girls can work a one hour shift or stay as long as they would like. linda and i will be there, i have a conflict until 930am so any parent volunteer who can come at 730 to help linda would be greatly appreciated.


there may be some changes to the calendar, so please check back often. tentatively the May 11th meeting will be a baseball meeting held at wardlow park, anne marie will be running this meeting (we will earn red beads!!) should be very fun!

pancake breakfast ticket money will be due at spring camp out, everyone owes 40 dollars (10 dollar credit from candy sales)

Camp Shiwaka money and forms are due to me by Spring Camp out at the LATEST, please try to have it to me by May 11th, you can always put it in my mailbox. We will get an early bird store credit for our group if we have them all in before May 16th. that would be nice to have!! thanks to everyone who has already turned it in to me.

Jean Potter has invited us to a Beach Bonfire Extravaganza.... sometime late may or june. i will get the details asap and post here. It will be a fun end of year party for all of us and it will be nice to let loose at the beach with the potter group. woo hoo summer!
