Posting for July 20 2015. GSK Annual Meeting and location set, more.









NEWS - NEWS - NEWS!

Things are gearing up for the new Girl Scout year for Warren County, Area 17 and Beyond!

Event Happenings
We will have better Event news here in Warren County and Area 17 this year (2015-16), the new Recruitment Committee has met and will be going to local high schools and the date and location has been chosen for the Annual Meeting. Desserts First (A BIG Louisville fundraiser) has a date too, and prices. Back to School is coming SOON! Locally, August 11th, I think.

Event News: We will have better control over events and news about them this year, with a new checks system for these. This is a good thing! I will scan and put a Proofreading "sticker" on here to help people know what to look for.

Recruitment is starting soon at local High Schools
The Recruitment Committee has started up with new people! Our new Chair for Warren County is Alicia B. Thanks for stepping up to do this, Alicia! :-) Also, the Vice Chair for Recruitment this year is Jonetta B. They would love to have helpers!

New Vice-Chairs for local Warren County Service Unit!
We have new Co-Vice-Chairs for many committees. We will post about that later. Hopefully Betsy S. and Amanda D. will be helping our Chair, Sue L. with flyers and more.

Warren County SU Kickoff (for Chairs and Vice Chairs) is soon, at the end of this month. We will have more attendees this year, with Vice Chairs of Committees also invited now.

Our Unofficial Calendar for Area 17 and Beyond (only a partial listing) has been updated.

So much news - - sharing! Plus a campfire picture from my favorite clip art site.

Here are just a few fun things that have been going on this week.

#1: A friend and I are talking about helping get a new older girl (Juniors and up) Arts and Adventure troop started. I am excited about it! Look for a new Facebook page about this idea soon. I will list the link here.

#2. How cool was the recent Girl Scout sleepover at the White House? It was great!

#3. AND I'm finally posting here after a vacation in Wisconsin. No, that as not this week, but it was LAST week. It WAS really fun. That is where I grew up. It's a great time to visit that state right now. I hope to post photos of the trip soon. (Another thing for my to-do list...)

Here is a neat campfire picture via the neat Clker site, my go-to site for cool clip art in the public domain.



Later!

Betsy
