It's April Fool's Day, and GSUSA is entering into the fun.
Here is their posting on the official blog: Meow Scout Bianca: A Pawsitive Force in Scouting.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Love that. Here is one of the photos too:
Aw! Bianca is collecting cat food for Pet Shelter friends. Looks like she also is keeping the table clean and free of snacks.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Don't forget about the UNofficial Calendar here at the blog. Not everything is on there, but some things are. It could be helpful if you are planning an event. Let me know if I need to add more things here, especially in Area 17 or Open Events.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you are at an UNofficial Facebook page, you can now access flyers or jpgs of recent news, such as Early Bird Rewards (with new cards explained) and also the new Kentuckiana Credits info.
Your SU Mgr. may already have shared these with you also, via email or a link to your new SU page on another site.
IF you are on FB, some useful links are here:
Area 17's Unofficial FB page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/294305000987780/
SU 722 (Warren and Edmonson) https://www.facebook.com/groups/KYANA.Cluster2.and.Beyond/
and
KYANA All-Around Unofficial FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/KYANA.GS/
Some other Areas and SU's have their own pages. Try Searching if you are on FB for those, or ask your Service Unit Manager about that. Not all SU's have pages yet.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A MUST-DO!
Don't forget to get registered at the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana MYGS/Volunteer Toolkit pages.
Here is that link: https://gsmembers.force.com/members/login. You need to be registered here to get important GSK reminders, emails, and news - - to get on the mailing list.
Plus, there is a LOT of info. here about troops, official events, and more. You can even populate your meetings, and there are some FUN games there too.
