Happy 2007 to Each of You!
I hope your holidays were happy and that the New Year will bring you wonderful things.

Thank you all for the wonderful gift certificate to Hillsdale Shopping Center that you gave me for Christmas. I had a great time shopping!

What Lies Ahead
This year will be a special one for our patrol as we will be flying up to Juniors in early June. We have lots of work to do between now and then and plenty of fun activities planned as well. Please review calendar items for important dates.

Cookies, Cookies, Cookies….
Keep up the great job selling Girl Scout Cookies! All forms need to be turned in to Katie's Mom by February 2nd.

We will have sign ups for booth sales at the Feb. 2nd potluck

Each girl will pick up that she sold on Saturday March 3rd in the afternoon. Please plan to be available between 1:30 and 3:30 to get your cookies!

Spring Camporee
Spring Camporee is a Mom and Me event. If you would like to sign up, bring your completed forms with attached check for deposit to the February 2nd potluck. We will send all the forms from our troop in at the same time so we will get placed in the same area. This is a great event and will be fun for scouts and moms alike. Be sure to sign up as a Junior scout because you will be Juniors by then!

You will be asked for your preference for activities. If you’d like to sign up so you go with other members of our patrol, you can sign up for Amazing Race on Saturday morning, zip line on Saturday afternoon and then make your own choice for the Sunday morning activity.

Bridging to Juniors
All of the girls in our patrol may fly up to Juniors. However, those wishing to earn the “Bridge to Juniors” will need to meet specific requirements. Please read the back of your Brownie handbook for more information We will work on these activities in March and April as a group and will meet with the Junior patrol to learn more about what is in store for us next year.
