Welcome Parents

Welcome to Brownie Troop 169!

We decided, ok so I decided, to add Daisies and Cadettes to our little troop. Todd Handschuh and I will still be your Brownie leaders. Tricia Shelton will be our new Daisy leader, she can be reached at 404-702-8698. Daisies will meet along with our Brownies. Cadettes will be meeting after school at SRMS, day to be announced. Cathy and Brook Hartman will be our Cadette leaders. They can be reached at 678-423-0009.

 

z  Our Community clean up project was a success. We gathered over a dozen bags of trash. More still needs to be done. We may organize another after the holidays.

Thanks to the Kiser and Wallace families

 

 

z The Yard Sale was so much fun! We raised 110.00 for our trip to the Stone Mountain Christmas Festival! Thanks to the Handschuh, Wallace and Youngblood families

 

 

z We had five girls participate in the Fall Product Sale. The total profit from the sale is 53.50. The girls voted to use this money to help fund our Stone Mountain Christmas Festival!

 

 

z Our Blood Drive is scheduled for next Monday November 19th from 3-8 at Nick's Pizza here in Grantville. Who will win the 25.00 gift certificate for bringing in the most donors??

 

 

z PLEASE keep December 8th open in your calendars! Our troop will be participating in the Grantville Calico Christmas Parade! I am asking for 100% participation in this activity! I realize some of our girls will be participating with the SRMS chours (my older daughter included) but that is why we need the rest of you so much.

 

 

z Please remember that dues for Brownies is due at the end of each month. That ten dollars helps us pay for the snacks, art supplies, badges and patches.

 The Cadettes are to bring in three dollars to each meeting for their dues.

 Dues are NOT required to participate.

  

z This is not an official troop activity but I thought I would pass it along to those who are interested...... Santa makes his official arrival in downtown Newnan Friday, Nov. 23, the day after Thanksgiving. Main Street Newnan received permission from Newnan City Council to close a portion of North Court Square at 3 p.m. prior to Santa’s arrival at 6 p.m. The event runs 6 to 8 p.m. Parents are invited to bring their kids out for an evening of fun with St. Nick. Santa will arrive on a fire truck and will begin the festivities by lighting the downtown Christmas tree. All children are encouraged to bring their Christmas wish lists.

 

 The December calendar will include:

The World Famous Calico Christmas Parade

(and Festival)

 

The Grantville Elementary Thank You Tea for Staff

(for Daisies and Brownies)

 

The GS Troop 169 Christmas Party and Making and Baking Christmas Cookies and Candy will be held together due to time issues.

 

Christmas Caroling

 

Stone Mountain Christmas Festival

 

And for our December Service Project

We will 'Adopt' a child for Christmas though ACE.

 
 
**From Last Month's Newsletter
I hate to have to tell everyone this but Girl Scout Day at Stone Mountain has been canceled. Stone Mountain will no longer be having the 'Snow Mountain' event. For more information go to the web site below.

This is not to say the Stone Mountain Christmas has been cancelled!

The girls voted to spend their Fall product sale funds to help pay for their Stone Mountain trip. The girls will vote again and I will let everyone know what the date will be after the girls decide.

 

 

Our November Service Project will be a Blood Drive. The blood drive will be held on November 19th from 3 PM -8 PM. The Sasso's have offered the use of Nick's Pizzeria. To make an appointment contact Heidi Wallace at 770-253-0549, or email her at miramah@att.net . Their will be a prize for the Girl Scout who brings in the most donors. I am thinking of a free field trip of their choice or maybe a 25.00 gift certificate to the Scout's favorite store. So parents, help your girls make a list of friends and family members they can call ask to donate! I will be handing out information from the red cross at our next scout meeting. Please email or call me if your family has any religious objections to blood donation and you would like for your child to participate in another service project.
