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:
Via a volunteer today about Magnut Sales:
"Online sales go until 11/21. Regular nut/candy orders have to submitted by 10/25.
You can check you troop roster on the NutE site and Karen Smallwood can fix it if your roster is wrong."


The Area 17 Meeting went well. If you could not make it, photos and some of the news are both posted at the Warren County (and Beyond) UNofficial FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/KYANA.Cluster2.and.Beyond/. I can OK you here too.

Did you miss the Legacy Reunion this Sunday? 
Here is more about it from another Member's posting.

"Those of you who wish you could have been at our Legacy Reunion can now 'visit' the official program via this YouTube video. If you watch it all (it's an hour long), you will see some familiar speakers (MarySue Ryan and Jeane Hanley) and some other familiar faces along the way (including Mary Noel Stenberg and Marty Woelfel). https://youtu.be/WB0B8UYPndk. And, if you wish, go over to the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Legacy Reunion FB page for photos." <It is here: https://www.facebook.com/GSKLegacyReunion/>
I also have some photos at the UNofficial Camp Shantituck page here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/…. I can OK you there if you are not already a member.

Here is a copy of the video here too:

Here is a copy of the Program: (and see above, there is a videotape and other photos on FB and on the Event site on FB too.)
