Countdown to the End of the Year
We’re checking things off our list one by one. On Friday Callie, Laura, and Maria took our bears, bunnies, and other critters over to Fire Station 19. The firefighters were good sports about having several pictures taken, now we need a volunteer to put the pictures from the camping trip on a CD together with the ones in Laura’s camera from yesterday, and send it all to Teri Otto at the Council. She will love having word of our project, and the Council needs documented projects like these for national publicity. Who knows, we may see ourselves in the Leader magazine!
Saturday the Laws and Pat attended the Gold Award Ceremony, and we’re happy to report that it went a little faster this year – all done under two hours. Everything was very nice as always, and the parking is much easier at Southern Polytechnic than downtown.
Sunday was bridging day. Karen was welcomed as an Adult Girl Scout, and it was especially nice to have Rossie and Anne among the welcomers. Callie, Crystal, and Laura received their Ten-Year Pins, and all four photographed the ceremony and took plenty of candid shots at the reception as our service project for the Photography IPP. Karen has volunteered to put those shots on a CD and send them on to our Service Unit Director. Special thanks to Mrs. Lott for not forgetting we were supposed to bring a cheese tray.
Next Things Coming Up

Saturday May 6 |
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, May 31 |
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. |

Note to College Students
We would love to know what you are doing this summer and when you’ll be home. Send us an Email either from our website or to
pat_callaway@bellsouth.net. We know that Anne is home and working this summer, but Diana won’t be home until after July 4 because of a Stanford Band trip to Spain and North Africa! More news as we get it!Let’s Plan a Gold Award Paperwork Day
Of the girls who are working on the Gold Award, Maria is the next in line because she will be a senior next year, so we really need for Maria to pick a day that fits Maria and Pat’s schedules. When we get a date, if Callie, Crystal, and Laura can also come and work on their paperwork, it will be a good thing. The more you can do before your senior year, the easier it is to finish. Believe it or not, some girls finish in their Junior years! Also, if you’re going to apply for the Gold Award scholarships, you need to be done by February 1 of your senior year so that you can get yet more paperwork turned in by the February due date.
