Camp brochure out for Bear Creek and more, Lots of news! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, my Girl Scout friends.

Tomorrow some of us will get to watch the Macy's Parade and see the GS Float.

Our Interim CEO is posting about it here, on her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SylviaEliaAcevedo/.  

You can tell she is excited. I would be, too! She is riding in the float. Be watching, she says - - she will pick either BLUE or GREEN Girl Scout tennis shoes to wear.

Here is a neat meme from Girl Scouts of Nassau County for Thanksgiving.

Here is a copy:

Via Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama and GSUSA:

"Small changes and gestures add up, bridging divides and strengthening communities."
1. Practice empathy and promote inclusion
2. Be a friend to those who need one.
3. Volunteer
4. Don't get discouraged.

Heads up, Kentuckiana Credits expire tomorrow.

You probably already knew this, but:

 

From another volunteer: "Kentuckiana credits all expire tomorrow, 11/15.

They must be submitted through the shop by 11/15 or postmarked if they are being mailed,

NO EXCEPTIONS!

Only the Louisville shop is open on 11/15.

Please note that the Kentuckiana Credits Swap Form states in item 4 that the Deadline is December 1st,

this does not apply, per note 2 where it states: that it must be turned in prior to the 'Kentuckiana Credit Expiration'."

 

Later!

 

And...

 

Vote! Also, if you are in the Warren County Service Unit, also go to the SU Meeting!

 
It's Election Day!

Also, the Warren County Service Unit for SU 722 is tonight!
This is now for Warren and Edmonson Counties.

"...November 8th, Tuesday, at the Kirby Branch Library at 6 p.m.
