How to

connected.
WC SU MTG:
The Warren County Service Unit met this week. We got MANY flyers, announcements, and lots of news.
I did not stay for the MagNut training, though I wanted to.
What I did after the meeting: The next day after the meeting, I scanned and then put many of the flyers I got at the meeting all online in the KYANA and Warren Co. Facebook pages, then put some of the other news on as postings. (see below for links to these...)
What people saw on the Facebook pages then is LOTS of news scrolling down the page. Sorry, but this is the only way to post things, short of having a newsletter (which I'm thinking about doing later on.) Scroll down until the events are out of date. Then you will see most of them.
HOW TO ORGANIZE THE POSTINGS
To organize, you may want to put the DATES on a separate page for yourselves, OR go to the MYGS-EVENTS listing at the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana website for some of them. Not all are on there yet. Some are local events, accessed by flyers. This will hopefully change later on, when all are on the Official website in plenty of time.
MY UNOFFICIAL GIRL SCOUT CALENDAR
You can also read the UNofficial Events List/Calendar at my Private Blog. It is a page there. I have a lot of things listed there, but not all of them. PM me on Facebook or email me at lizann447@yahoo.com to be added there so you can see it. Then look for your invitation and link. If you don't get it the same day or the next day, or are unable to get to this blog page, let me know. I update the UNofficial Events List/Calendar often.
HOW TO ADD PEOPLE TO THE UNOFFICIAL FB PAGES:
Here are the Facebook Pages - - so you can share them.
The Warren County SU and Beyond: An Unofficial Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/KYANA.Cluster2.and.Beyond/
The KYANA GS Member-Volunteer Facebook page - unofficial: https://www.facebook.com/groups/KYANA.GS/
You can also add readers there by "inviting" them at the top right. "Add" if you KNOW they would like to be there, "Invite" them if you are not sure.
If somebody does not have Girl Scout pictures on their FB page, or I don't know them, I will need to ask them to share a little about themselves, and why they want to join the page. I may even send messages to FB friends to help OK them if there is time. This is to cut down on spammers.
ARE YOU ALREADY ON THE MYGS PAGES?
This can also be known as the MYGS Pages, the Volunteer Toolkit, the Opportunity Catalog (for K-5 troops), Your Web Signin, your Official Signin at the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana website, or The Events Pages. This Leader and Volunteer info. section is here: https://gsmembers.force.com/members/login.
The GIRL SCOUT SONGFEST IN FRANKLIN, KY
This is THIS upcoming Saturday.
A message from Amber Huggins. amber_huggins@uhc.com
"Simpson County Girl Scouts is hosting their 2nd Annual Songfest! The event will be from 6p-8p, on Saturday, September 17th, at the home of GSK staff member Beth Carroll- 2010 Springfield Rd., Franklin, KY.
September 17th is citizenship day and the start of Constitution Week. Our theme is Patriotism and Tradition. Patriotic and traditional GS songs will be sung around the camp fire. There will also be a flag retirement ceremony, and a representative from the local Daughters of the American Revolution chapter will be in attendance to discuss the importance of voting in America, where that right comes from, and why as women we all need to vote. (This can be tied to the government and community badge components).
If you or your troop want to come, please contact Amber Huggins. amber_huggins@uhc.com. This is a FREE event! We look forward to singing with our sisters!"
