Cadette Troop 25787

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is having a Happy New Year! I just wanted to send a reminder that we will NOT be meeting this Wednesday but will be meeting next Wednesday 1/15/20 for our regularly scheduled meeting.  Hope to see you all there.

Digital Cookie

Cookie sales have officially started.  Hopefully by now everyone is on their way to making their sales goals.  We are asking that every girl attempt to sell a minimum of 30 boxes. The proceeds of these sales will help to fund our year end service project and a troop event to yet be determined.

By now everyone should have received an email to register for the Digital Cookie platform.  This is a great tool to help expand your sales reach.  People can purchase and pay for cookies on line then have the option to have the cookies shipped directly to them (for a fee) or sent to you for later distribution.  If you missed the email and would like to register for the online sales please click the link below to access the Digital Cookie log-in page.

Digital Cookie Registration

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that there is NO meeting tomorrow.  Due to the holidays we will not meet again till Wed, January 15th.

Thank you to all that attended the Investiture celebration.  Along with the badges earned you should have also received your Cookie Sales order forms.  Please review the important information below and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  As mentioned at Investiture, you are welcome to sell now to friends and family but we ask that you do not post anything regarding sales on social media or your workplaces until the official start of the sales period on January 1st.

Hi Everyone.

I just wanted to send a quick reminder for everyone that we will be meeting this Wednesday for our All Troop Investiture Celebration.  The celebration will start promptly at 6:00 in the Voss Center so please be on time.  There will be a light sweets potluck directly following.  Below is a link to the invitation and desert sign up sheet.  Due to numerous allergies we are asking that you please not bring anything that may contain tree nuts or peanuts and that all food be labeled accordingly.  Hope to see you all on Wednesday.

Investiture Invitation

HI Everyone,

Sorry again about the meeting mix up last week.  Things tend to get a little hectic around the holidays,  We are scheduled to meet tomorrow at 6:00.  We will be painting wooden Christmas Nutcrackers that the girls will get to take home after.

As a reminder we will all be meeting next Wednesday December 11th at 6:00 in the lower Voss Center, as well, for our Investiture celebration.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to remind you that we are scheduled to meet this Wednesday for our Cadette meeting.  I did want to confirm that you will be there.  I know that with the holiday the next day some of you may be traveling and not be able to attend.  Please confirm either way whether your child will be at this week’s meeting.

Investiture

Please note that the date for Investiture has been set.  We will be meeting on Wednesday, December 11th at 6:00 PM in the Voss Center.  Typically there is a little pot luck reception afterwords.  Once I know what we will be asked to bring I will let you know.

Safe travels for all those going to see family and a Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know that this week’s meeting will be canceled due to a last minute trip that I will be taking. I hope to see you all at the next meeting. Have a great week!

Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to remind everyone that we are meeting this Wednesday at 6:00 to continue work on our engineering journey.  The girls will continue constructing life vests for their soup can corgies.  This journey is a particularly fun one as there is a lot of hands on construction and critical thinking.

At the beginning of our last meeting I played a small part of a really great Ted Talk that encourages girls in Engineering and I wanted to share the video in its entirety for everyone as its really inspiring.  Please share with your girls if possible.

White Pines

A packing list was sent out a few days ago for those going to White Pines.  If you need a copy of the packing list let me know and I will be happy to forward it to you.  Its going to be a fun weekend.

Halloween Party

We will be having an all troop Halloween party on Wednesday Oct. 23rd.  Girls may wear their costumes if they like.  Typically if the older girls do attend they are asked to help run the activities.  Please let me know if your girls plan to attend so we can plan accordingly.

Fall Product

If anyone is actively selling fall product please remember that sales end Oct 20th.  Please let me know by then if anything needs to be keyed in and we can make arrangements regarding payments due.

Attendance

I realize that from time to time girls may need to miss a planned meeting.  Whether its due to illness or a scheduling conflict I completely understand.  The only thing I ask is that if you do know that your child will need to miss a meeting please let me know in advance so I can plan activities and purchase supplies accordingly.

See you all this Wednesday.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share our year end video which we weren’t able to play last night due to technical difficulties.  You may have to open the actual blog page to access the video.  I’m not sure if the video itself will be accessible from this email.  You can just click on the URL link at the bottom of this page to access the blog page.  It was a great year and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

Thank you to all that were able to attend our year end celebration.  I will be reaching out individually to all those that weren’t able to attend and make arrangements to drop off your cookie rewards and badges earned.

I also wanted to extend a personal thank you for the cards of appreciation.  They really warmed my heart and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to lead such a great group of girls.

Registration for next year:

Early registration is currently going on now through June 26th.  All those that renew by June 26th will receive an early registration patch.

Have a wonderful summer and be safe everyone!
