January meeting agenda

Did you miss January's meeting? Here is the agenda. Please contact us if you have any questions.

cookie time!

Initial Cookie Order Due - January 23rd <-- YESTERDAY!

Cookie Deivery Day - February 10th

The booth scheduler is up and running. I am still waiting to hear from a few stores with permission to sell. If there is a location that your troop would like to sell at but it is not on the list go to: Booth Sites, from the pull down menu choose "My Sales", then look the left and choose "add a location". I will then recieve an email to approve your choice.

Pickup cookies scheduler is now also up and running. You must make an appointment to pick up your cookies. No drop ins (we may not be there). To choose your time: go to the Delivery Tab, click on the time you would like, then click the submit button at the top.

Please direct all cookie questions to Loretta and all booth questions to Sandi

regional delegate election

Please be sure to VOTE! (click the graphic above)

Who can vote? Registered girls 14 and up. And adults of course. Sandi and Heather MacDougall from Ukiah are both running. They would greatly appreciate your vote.

The election ends at midnight on January 25.  As you’ll recall, we will have a random drawing to determine which of the people elected to two year terms will serve a full (two year) term,  and which will serve just one year in order to establish the staggered terms.   I hope to be able to notify everyone of the election results and length of terms on January 28th. 

100th Anniversary patch

Has your troop done any of the above this year? If so, you will want to present them with these one of a kind patches! I have created a PDF so you can track their progress. At the bottom of the flyer is the link to order them.

Order your patches here LINK (scroll down on the link page)
Patches are available in all GSNorCal stores ($1.50 each).
Rockers are only available online ($.99 each)

flash mob event

Monday, March 12th @ 7:12pm (military time 19:12)

What is a Flash Mob?

A Flash Mob is a large group of people who gather at a public location to perform a pre-defined action, typically a brief dance, and disperse rapidly after the event has concluded. (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/flash-mob-participate-examples/ )

Our Flash Mob event will take approx 15 minutes. That's it! Our current plan is to have it take place in Alex Thomas Plaza.

It was decided at the January 2nd Volenteer Meeting that the flash mob "dance/song" will be daught at the Cookie Rally (Jan 20th) and again at Thinking Day (Feb 25th). We will also have an outdoor practice at Todd Grove Park (by the stage) on Saturday March 10th at 1pm. If it rains that day we will meet at the GS office on Leslie at 1pm.

This event is for girls of all levels.

Thinking day 2012

As you know this year is our 100th Anniversary so we decided to do something different for Thinking Day.  Instead of thinking about Girl Guides in other Countries we have decided to remember Girl Scouts in the USA over the past 100 Years!

Each troop will be choosing their own decade to represent.  Please check our website to see which decades have been chosen so far.  Once your troop decides please let us know.

Each troop will have a table to display memorabilia, a display board, SWAPS & a food item.  All from their chosen era  We are also requesting that you share a song, game or skit with the entire group that will represent your era.

I created a planning worksheet for my troop and thought I would share it with you - PDF

Information flyer PDF (you will need this to register your troop)

Thinking Day Registration Deadline - February 17th

Thinking Day - February 25th

If your troop is interested in earning the official Thinking Day Patch
