Prescott!

Yay....Prescott! I am excited for Sat. (Can you tell?)
Here is the menu for Bill's Pizza
Reminder: Please bring a snack to share for 37-40 people and leave a comment on the evite with what you are bringing so I can fill in the blanks on anything we will need. (Please no shellfish or peanuts) I will bring water, tea, otter pops and juice boxes.
Tenative plan:12:00pm-Pizza at the clubhouse (see directions to get there below)
1:00pm-Crafts (Heart boxes and letters to the Daisy troop)
2:00pm-Scavenger hunt at the park and playtime
3:00pm- Snacks/Let girls hang out back at the clubhouse
4:00pm-Fun day is done, but feel free to still hang around. :)
It looks like the weather will be about 75 degrees....perfect, but probably not warm enough to swim unless you like very cold water. I would bring a hoodie just in case too.

Directions: Merge onto I-17 N. -Merge onto AZ-69 N via EXIT 262 toward PRESCOTT Next, take the GURLEY ST ramp toward BUSINESS DISTRICT ,Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto E GURLEY ST/AZ-89. Continue to follow E GURLEY ST (turns into THUMB BUTTE RD), Turn LEFT onto PLAZA DR. Parking in the complex is very little, so turn left into parking lot just past bowling alley. I think it is a group home. Walk to up to the first street at Creekside circle and go left and you will see the club house on left side of the road. There will be balloons outside of the clubhouse. If you get lost call my cell....602-751-6812 or David's cell 602-751-6815.


Also, I have the registration packets and will bring them on Sat. to sign your girl up for next year. It is $133.00 or so for the whole year. I will bring a detailed sheet with prices for you to see, but if you need to wait until July 1st to pay, that is fine too. :)
See you then!

June 4th

June 4th will be the family Prescott Day from 12pm-4pm.
Please RSVP to your evite, so we have enough supplies for everyone!
It will be a fun day! Bring a snack to share and your swimsuit, towel and maybe a hoody! :)

Thank you!!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Daisy party and a big thank you for all of the food and goodies that were brought! There was a great buffet of food! :)
I love my gift cards and daisy plant too...so sweet ladies! I hope I can keep it alive! If it doesn't make it, please forgive me...I am not good with live plants...lol. ;)
This has been the best year and I am really looking forward to next year!
Go troop 1460!

Details on Dues and payment....

Since we have money in our account this year (hurray!) we will not need payment for dues and uniforms until July 1st 2011. It would be great if the whole payment could be made with one check, but if not, please let me know.
Here is the break down....

The total for the uniform is $46.50
$15 was for the bridging kit, brownie pin, new tab and book for next year.
See the photo for more details on what I will order for the uniform...the items will be $31.50 from the photo minus the sash. (It is too small to hold all of the patches)
Dues will still be $3 per meeting, so about $54 for the year if we have 18 meetings.
There will be an optional donation of $20 per girl to help cover the room fee. It is $20 per meeting for us to use the school. If everyone gave $20 for the year, it would cover the cost of the room and leave the dues to be used for projects.
$46.50-Uniform, kit and book
$54-Dues
$20-Room fee
Girl Scout council fees-$12 (Goes to main office)
Total for next year- $132.50 ($7.36 per meeting on average)
*Note: The total may change slightly if we meet more than 18 times. I will know after we get confirmation from the office of when we can use the school.
If you cannot pay part or any of the fees, let me know and we will work it out.
The new registration forms will be ready at the end of May or early June.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you!

Tea Party

You are invited to our last meeting on May 18th at 3pm in room 201.
It is our last meeting and the girls have a performance for you!
Go troop 1460!!

Official Brownies!

The Bridging Ceremony went so well! The girls are amazing and I loved all of the things they liked about Daisies and what they are looking forward as Brownies.
I have to say this year has been so amazing! I will admit, I had reservations about being a GS leader. I have never been a girl scout, so thinking about the big responsibility of knowing the promise and law and then teaching the girls about being a scout seemed a bit scary. I am so glad I took the chance to try it out because I would have missed seeing these girls make amazing growth, I got the best notes and cards from them, hugs, good times, smiles, and memories I will never forget! As a mom, I am so happy Jadyn has been able to form friendships with these girls. They are smart, sweet and are great friends to have.
I am looking forward to another 2 years with the troop as Brownies and I want to thank you for trusting me to be the leader...such an honor!
A huge thank you to Tisha for being such a great co-leader. Without her stepping up, we could have never had so many girls in the troop! Also, thank you to her mom, Miss Donna who has been our sewing, crafting, helper, & grandma to the troop!
The three moms that made all the meetings...Chandra, Colleen and Alyssa...much needed hands to help our big troop! Chandra was also our baker and Alyssa of course was the cookie mom! Such a huge help!!! THANK YOU to everyone who helped this year, sent snack and were patient as we got this Daisy thing figured out. It has been a great journey and I love our Girl Scout family!

Family Fun Day in the Pines

Check your email for the Evite for a family day in Prescott!
June 4th at 12:00pm at 212B Creekside Circle Prescott, AZ 86303
Should be so fun! There is a community pool, so bring swim suits, towels and sunscreen if you want to swim! The weather is usually 20 degrees cooler there, so depending on the day, you may want to bring a hoodie too.
Also, if you plan on having lunch with us, please bring cash for Bill's Pizza. :)
Hope to see you then!

Uniform

Next year, the girls can wear a sash or vest. Click on the words "sash or vest" to see examples of each. The other items are needed for either one, so we will let you know which one the troop is going with. The troop needs to all have the same uniform so we look like we all belong together :)
The vest is $31.50 with everything and the sash is $21.00 with everything.

Bridging ceremony

The ceremony will be at the Skunk Creek flats May 14th from 6pm-7pm. Please RSVP to the evite sent out. We will meet at the bridge for the ceremony and then the tables under the ramada will be saved for the 50+ people going.
We will provide water and treats. You have the option of buying food and drinks after the ceremony. There is live music at 8pm. I am so excited for the girls!
Hope to see you there!

Bridging....

1st step to bridging from Daisies to Brownies is done! Today we met with the Brownie troop out in Anthem....the girls did so AMAZING! It was a long time to sit and listen to a leader read and talk and they did sooo well! It was great information and I am even more excited for next year! (Yes,I am staying on as leader for those who thought I would run away screaming after this year...ahem, Walt! J/K..haha!)

This truly has been an amazing experience! For never being in Girl Scouts myself, I think we have covered the bases with Daisies, the girls were all so sweet, I had some great helpers and a fabulous co-leader...it could not have been a better year!

Even the other troop leader commented on how great our girls were and I agree x10!

Thank you for a great adventure and trusting me to help grow your Daisies in their Girl Scout Journey!

Brownies...here we come!
PS...we had a great pizza lunch and then some Yogurtberry to celebrate Temi's b-day!
Want to know what those boxes are they made? They are to write down random acts of kindness in your house or things that show good manners. You take a slip of paper, write the good thing down, then place in the box. At the end of the week, you can read the good deeds as a family....fun, right? ;)
Go troop 1460!

Brownie Meeting!

Do not forget the Brownie meeting tomorrow at 1:30pm at the Anthem Outlets...suite 435. If your Daisy is riding with us, we will meet them at the flag pole at 11:35am.
They need the covered box, supply bag, vest and about $5 for snack/lunch.
See you then!

Thank you!

You are invited!

You should have gotten an invitation today to the Garden Tea Party on May 18th.
It will be at 3pm in room 201, please RSVP to Shannon or Tisha so we have enough food and drinks.
The girls had lots of ideas for what they wanted to eat, so this should be fun!
We have a fun performance for you as well, so it will be a great celebration of our last meeting as Daisies! This year has gone so fast!
Hope to see you there!

Patch Placement

In case you need to see where the patches go, click here
The circle patches go on the back of the vest.
Thank you!
PS ...Do not forget the boxes for Friday! ;)

Friday, May 6th

Ok, I finally have details to share about this coming Friday, May 6th!
The girls will need....
1. A shoe box with a slit cut in the lid so they can put slips of paper in it. Also, it needs to be covered in plain paper so they can decorate it ;)
2. Bring their bag of supplies
3. Their vest
4. Money (about $5 for lunch) if they are not riding with you to the event.
We were meeting at 1pm, but it has been changed to 1:30, so the other troop can do birthday snacks for 1/2 hour.
If we are driving your girl, we will still get them as planned at the flag pole at 11:35pm. We will head to Anthem Outlet's food court to have lunch/snack at noon.
After the girls eat, we will play in the kid play area until about 1:15 or so.
At that time, we will head to Suite 435 by Bath and Body Works.
*Parents bringing your kiddos...you can meet us at 1:15pm at the play area or at suite 435 by 1:30pm. You are also welcome to join us earlier when we eat at the food court.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
The girls will be meeting with a Brownie troop and discussing manners, creating a craft and playing games. Should be fun!
Please make sure you have your permission slip turned into Tisha before Friday!
Thank you!
See the girls this Wed., May 4th!

As You Wish

The girls did a great job painting pottery! Thank you to all of the parents that brought their Daisy...I know how busy this time of year is. ;)
It was a great way to celebrate the super job they all did with cookie sales!
Go troop 1460!
