Warren County Meeting this Tuesday for NEW leaders and co-leaders in Girl Scouts - a note from Tracey

Dear all,

Sorry if some of you got a BGAMUG Computer Club invitation. Sorry about that! I deleted it. I really don't know how I glitched that one up, but must have. It's another group I help with.

Here is some important Girl Scout News for the Warren County Service Unit leaders and co-leaders:

For new leaders and co-leaders in Warren County, our Service Unit Manager Tracey has another meeting that is MUCH more important.

If you are on her email list, you will have probably gotten it yesterday, with an update today.

Tracey's email is:  sum.warren.ky@gmail.com.

Hello,

If you are a NEW leader or co-leader then you will need to have the in-person training "Network Like a Girl Scout." 

If you have already taken this training, that is great!

 
If not, I have scheduled one for Tuesday 10/25/16 at 5:30pm at the Kirby branch of the library.

<5:30 - 6:30>

Please be sure to let me know if you do plan to attend this training so that I can be sure to have enough supplies.

Remember - you should not have any troop meetings before having this training.

If I do not hear from anyone, then I will not be there.  I need to know if anyone does plan to attend.

Thank you,

Tracey

A short posting FYI - - Cleanup Day at Camp Pennyroyal cancelled, per Lisa Leonard.

News from Lisa Leonard:

Tent take down day at Camp Pennyroyal has been cancelled for tomorrow. A day and a half of rain, light rain last night, plus fog/frost advisory tomorrow morning means tents are too wet to take down. We are still planning on trying next Saturday though! Let me know if you can make it!

Lisa's email is lleonard@gskentuckiana.org

RSVP please.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

I have just now changed the posting on the UNofficial Calendar too. I will post the event for next week later.

B 

Area 17 Meeting went well, I found my photos from the Pennyroyal Training Extravaganza, more. Edited with latest Magnut info.

This butterfly reminds me of one I saw at Camp Shantituck at the Fall Training Extravaganza this past Sept. 9-11. Here is that butterfly:

I thought I'd lost these photos, but found them yesterday looking for OTHER photos. They were on another computer.

If you have not seen these, they are at the UNofficial Camp Shantituck site on Facebook today. Here is that link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/616374948450586/.

If you are in that area, or you can travel there, Lisa Leonard is reminding people: Don't forget that this Saturday is Take Down the Tents day at Camp Pennyroyal! <October 22nd> We start at 9 and work at least till 12:30-1, when we'll stop for turkey chili and cornbread muffins for lunch. After lunch we'll evaluate and see how much more we can do; extra hands and muscles are welcome! Respond to tell me if you can help. <You can message her on FB, or can email her at lleonard@gskentuckiana.org>.

UPDATING:
