Cookie Links

The two new buttons on the right side of this page will take you directly to two helpful cookie sites. ABC Cookies is the company that bakes all of our tasty Girl Scout cookies. Check out the site -- girls will find TONS of activities, coloring pages, selling tips and more!

The "Whoo Loves Girl Scout Cookies" button will take you to our council cookie site. Lots of great info there, as well.

Cookie Pick-Up Times

Ready to pick up your first batch of cookies? Head to Becky's house on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon or on Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. to retrieve your initial order!

Meeting reminder

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday for an exciting cookie-themed Girl Scout meeting!!! Here's what you need to bring:

• Permission form and money for Father-Daughter Dance, if you plan to attend.
• Optional -- a pair of gently used jeans. This is our "Girl Scouts Give Back" project for the month of January. Used jeans (children and adult sizes are welcome) are being collected for  for homeless teenagers throughout the United States.

Don't forget -- parents are encouraged to stay for the last half hour of our meeting while we talk about cookie sales.

Yes, it's that time of year again! Girl Scout Cookie sales officially kick off at 12:01 a.m., January 14!

Please stay tuned over the next couple of weeks as information about this year's cookies sale is distributed.

An informational meeting for parents/families that have never participated in GS cookie sales (or anyone who wants a refresher) will be held during the last half hour of our meeting on Jan. 17.

We look forward to a great year!

Father-Daughter Dance

This year's Father-Daughter Dance will be from 7 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 5 at Memorial Coliseum.

Girls are invited to attend this special event, hosted by Service Unit 616, with their father or another adult male. In the past, many grandfathers, uncles and special family friends have attended this event.

Cost is $6.50 per person ($13 per father daughter pair or $19.50 per father with two Girl Scout daughters). The price includes refreshments, a father-daughter picture to be taken at the dance and a patch for each Girl Scout. Please make checks payable to Troop 20048.

Most girls wear nice dresses and dads (or other male escorts) typically wear suits/sport coats or other nice attire. Corsages and boutonnières are customary. Indulge Gift & Floral Shop, 7120 Homestead Road, is offering both for $11.50. Call 435-1943 to place your order before Jan. 25.

Permission forms and money should be turned in at our Jan. 17 meeting.
