Updates for the group are as follows:
I NEED YOUR PICTURES:
If you have taken pictures at events, I need them, still looking for more
to Dixon, there's the 2nd tour at Great Harvest, Albuquerque Journal, and
since so many of you were taking them at Starfire, I need some of those. Send
them to me please, I'm working on the pages for this year's book. I think
there's also the last RGNC that I couldn't make. If anyone took pictures please
send those as well.
News
Girl Scout Troop
The new In Him Homeschoolers Girl Scout troop is forming and email registrations
with interest are now being accepted. Please email me at fullhousewithsix@aol.com
if you are interested. We need child's name and grade to be able to place
them.
Details are: Girls from 5 years of age up can join, we have leaders for Daisy's
(K) Brownies (1, 2, 3) and Juniors (4,5,6). We can not at this time take Cadettes
which is the upper grades. We will meet twice a month at Mountain Christian
Church located on N14, on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, STARTING
August 12th. We will meet from 1:00 to 3:00, possibly 3:30. We will have one
community project every other month for girl scouts and this project will
tie in with the homeschool groups TAG activity. Also, lots of the homeschool
activities will tie in with GS and participation badges will be awarded for
those that participate in those events. To join, in August you will need to
fill out a registration and pay $30.00 for the yearly $50.00 fee. Of that
$10.00 will count towards your daughter's registration, and they must be registered
to attend events/troop meetings. If you as a mother would like to attend events
outside of the troop meetings on Tuesdays, then you too will need to register
and pay the $10.00 fee. Then in January the remaining $20.00 of the dues will
be due. This will run this way every August.
We will have some rules in place and will use the 1, 2, 3 system for those
that can't follow the rules. The rules are basic in that they must be respectful
to the leaders and listen to them, follow directions at all times. First offense,
we will notify you, second they will be asked to go home and third they will
not be allowed to attend. Now, we do not contemplate any problems but need
to state this "in case".
No siblings will be allowed to attend the troop meeting's. Mom's there is
a play area outside where you can let them play, but watching siblings is
up to the parents, unless you are teaching a meeting, (and we do ask that
from time to time you take a turn with a meeting), siblings need to be outside
and not interfering with the meeting.
Each GS will be assigned snack days and each GS will need to take their turn
at providing those to all. More info will be given out on this after the first
meeting.
Vests will need to be purchased at the Girl Scout office, located at 4000
Jefferson Plaza NE. Our troop number is 181, as you will need to purchase
patches with the troop number on them. When you sign up I can send you a list
of what you need to get, and have by August 12th.
I think that is it for now on GS, if you have questions, email me.
3.) Park Days are here, I don't want to be the only one there, so if you are
planning on attending, email me by the night before. Otherwise if I don't
hear from anyone, I won't be going myself either. This is something I am hoping
to try out and will experiment with in hopes of getting the kids in the group
together to get to know each other better since we aren't meeting with the
classes as we did last year. Park days are set up as May 23rd, June 6th and
20th, July 11th and 25th (since the 4th of July holiday falls on a Friday
this year). and August 8th. Watch the events below to find out the different
locations that we will be meeting at.

to make this a great yearbook for the kids to cherish for years to come.
