They are distributing the bags to Katrina survivors, many of whom are carrying all their worldly goods in a paper sack. Another project that we’re interested in helping with is the "Badge in a Bag" for children in shelters that is sponsored by the Audubon Council in Baton Rouge.

World Thinking Day celebrates the birthdays of Girl Guides/Girl Scouts founder Robert, Lord Baden-Powell (1857-1941) and World Chief Guide, Olave, Lady Baden-Powell (1889-1977). In the United States, Girl Scouting grew out of the friendship between Juliette Gordon Low and Lord Baden-Powell and his sister, Agnes, who began Girl Guiding. World Thinking Day celebrates that friendship and the sisterhood of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the globe. The day is also a time to donate funds to the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund |
| March 4, or April 15 | Possible Field Trip! |
These are Saturdays when we might be able to visit Nease’s Needlework in Decatur for our Technology and Career Exploration components of the Textile Arts IPP. We are beginning to see the end of this one! Susan Nease can meet with us either of the two, and she would like to know when we want to come. Pat needs to hear from you if you would like to go on Cookie Pick-Up Day (March 4) from 2-4 in the afternoon or wait until April 15 to make this trip. Please call Pat ASAP to express your preference. |
|
March 4-5 |
Cookies Arrive |
March 4 – Cookie delivery day. Mrs. Unger is the Service Unit Cookie Chair, and she needs warehouse help! Dads are particularly welcome for the lifting parts of this job. On Sunday March 5th, each family needs to come by the Lott's house and pick up your cookies to deliver. Remember that Mrs. Lott will need one check per family by our March 17th meeting. The Council will not take checks your customers write. It is probably best if we don’t choose this date for our needlework shop visit unless we have to. |
| March 11 | Cookie Booth | Location: Embry Hills Kroger, 1-5 PM. Mark your calendars! Everyone needs to help out! We need all girls to attend plus 2 adults. We can probably work in shifts.You’ll be glad to hear that we did sell a lot of cookies, and with the ones Mrs. Lott ordered for the cookie booth, we made our cash bonus! Hooray for all your hard work! Thanks to our college girls who helped us get over the amount where we get a larger percentage per box. Now let’s get those cookies sold at the cookie booth. |
|
March 12 - March 18 |
Girl Scout Week |
Girl Scout Birthday, March 12, commemorates the day in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization's first 18 girl members in Savannah, Georgia. Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March, starting with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday, and it always includes the Girl Scout Birthday, March 12. Girl Scout Sunday and Girl Scout Sabbath give girls an opportunity to attend their place of worship and be recognized as a Girl Scout. If a place of worship is the group sponsor, girls may perform a service, such as greeting, ushering, or doing a flag ceremony. These days can also be a time when girls explore other faiths. |
|
March 17, |

We will be working on the Photography IPP. Two women photographers will be there to show us different kinds of cameras. Bring a family check to pay for your cookie order, if you haven't turned it in already. Laura, Karen, Brittany & Maria attended. |

Field Trip! Visit Nease’s Needlework in Decatur. Susan Nease will help us finish up our Textile Arts IPP. Please let Mrs. Gargiullo know if you will arrive at the shop under your own power or if you need a ride. Expect a severe case of the "I wants" when you see all the beautiful yarns and projects in the store. Decide ahead of time if you want to bring money or not. |

|
Wednesday, |
Court of Awards and Final Meeting of the Year - 'Pick Your Own Theme' covered dish supper at the Callaways’. We’re taking our chances by not planning anything, and we’ll eat whatever we choose to bring. Pat will be sure to have plenty of iced tea, water, and diet ginger ale. Awards and recognitions will be given out, so if you need to finish something, try to be finished, and tell Pat so she can make sure she’s bought your pin or patch. All our college girls who get home in time are heartily invited to join us. | |
