Treasurers Report
Cookie Time! Reminder.....the girls are not to go door to door!!! There have been several reports of this. It is a base rule and also for the safety of the girls. Cookie ordering time is over January 20th. Troops need to have their order to Erica by the 23rd, no later than 5pm.
Training....Do you or an adult in your troop need CPR/First Aid training? If so, contact Kathy. Another class will be set up if there is enough response.
Thinking Day Now is the time to start your Thinking Day Presentation if you haven't already. This year it will be at the YC on Feb 24th 4-6. Passports for the girls to visit each country will be provided. Each troop will need a stamp or sticker that represents your country to validate the passports when your country is visited. You are asked to provide a small food sample from your country for each girl. Swaps are optional this year, but FUN! Again, 5 cents per girl for each table they visit will be collected for the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund. Each troop should have some kind of container to collect the money in. Each troop will need to bring their own table for their presentations. If your troop does not have a country yet, contact Ronda. Here is a list of the countries that were drawn:
