May 2nd

We have our next meeting on May 2nd. Only 2 more meetings! Yikes! The last one on the 16, we will have a carnival party. Should be fun! Couple things: 1. Still working on the refund for cancelled camp 2. Last call for RSVPs for yoga day on May 5th. I am ordering the patches! 3. If anyone wants to donate to the Just for me bags, please get it to me by May 2nd. I planned on dropping it all this week, but had two sick kids, so no driving downtown for me. :) 4. If anyone would like to donate candy (bulk) or cookies/biscottis for teacher appreciate week, Tisha and I are collecting the items to set up a candy bar on May 7th and delivering coffee on May 8th in the morning. Let me know if you want to bring anything or come help! :) Thank you all for everything you do!!!

Centennial Tree Planting

Today was the tree planting! We had a good time saying a few words for our tree, sang a song and planted the tree.
Thank you to Gwenz for the great snack and beautiful cake!
Also, thank you so much to those that gave items for the Just for Me Bags. Tisha and I are still collecting this week or if you would rather stop by Elevate Sat. at 12pm, please RSVP so they have food for you. I will not be there since I have an appt. at that time, but they would be happy to have anyone that RSVP's stop by!
You are all the best!

Go troop 1460!

Tree Planting

We will be planting our tree this Wed. at 3:30pm. Please have the girls wear their vest this day so I can get a group photo :)

Thank you!

Snow Day!

So camp day was snowed out after all! My friend that still planned on braving the snow on Sat. for camp called that morning to say that the camp was officially cancelled due to bad road conditions heading to the camp site! I am glad we cancelled earlier in the week and made alternative plans!
Camp day turned to a snow day! It was really fun to play in the snow for a few minutes and then run back into the clubhouse for snacks and crafts...haha.
Thank you to everyone who made the trek up and anyone who could not make it this time...summer will be here soon and we need another day, but this time with the pool involved. There is a patch for that, right? :)
We have the best troop ever!

PSA is uploaded!

Here is the link to vote for our Troop PSA!
I tried for hours to figure out how to convert our slide show to a file that the girl scout site would take, but could not figure it out. I had to upload the slide show file by file and it only took 12 slides. If your girl's slide got booted, I am so sorry!! If anyone has hurt feelings, we can take it down. After I saved the slide show, it took me straight to vote now and I could not edit it after that. :( Anyway, if we win, they re-do the whole thing with just our ideas from the slide show.
Go vote and share so others can vote too! :)

Camp is Cancelled!

Sad to say camp is cancelled. I will get you details if we can move it to May.

Reminders

Please RSVP for yoga day so we know how many to plan for and how many patches to buy.
Please make sure you are registered if you are attending camp with your girl.
(You can give me the rest of the money owed this week or at camp) Just write a check to Troop 1460 so I can keep track of it. Handing me a stack of cash is not a great idea...haha.
Last, we are collecting items for AZCA on April 18th at our tree planting ceremony. If you cannot get me your items by then, you can join us on April 20th at Elevate where Thrivent Financial is gathering items for the Just for me Bags too. :) We have a 1/2 day at school, so we will be stopping by there.
They expressed that they would love to see Girl Scouts there. It's at 1pm. They will provide food to eat. You can bring items from the list I emailed to put in the bags or just come and help fill. They will have items there to put in the bags. If your girls go, have them wear their uniforms and let me know you will be going so I can tell them how many to plan for. Let me know if you need suggestions of what to bring.
Camp list:
Wear comfy clothes and shoes, bring water bottle and sack lunch, wear sunscreen, bring a jacket since it may be chilly, and be ready to have fun!
Thank you!!
Shannon

PSA

View the slide show here :)

Busy day!

Today we talked about First Aid and the girls earned a patch. It goes on the back of the vest. They got their dance photos finally and a dance patch (goes on the back). They got another patch for Cookie Booths...you guessed it, goes on the back of the vest...haha.
They will still earn a yoga patch if they go to the May field trip, the last of the 4 triangle patches, and a manners patch. (Maybe a camp patch too if I find a cute one!)
The last thing we did was create the PSA....they did such a great job! I will post it later after it is edited. We will need lots of votes...they want to win!

Thank you to everyone for your patience with camp. I am excited for this fun day! Can't wait to see you all there!
