Greetings Gemini Leaders! With April almost in the rear view window (how has that happened!) and the end of the school year (!) coming up on us fast, here’s some quick but important updates and reminders for you!
Leader Appreciation Dinner / May Leader Meeting
As is our tradition, our May Leader Meeting is also our Leader Appreciation Dinner! Come gather together (in person!) to enjoy some food, fun, and celebrate each other’s accomplishments and hard work this year.
The dinner will be held on Monday, May 13 at 6:30pm at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Pierce.
If you can join us please RSVP by checking the pinned post at the top of the Facebook group, or email [email protected] to confirm.
It’s always good to see everyone in person, and engage in some face-to-face interaction (remember that?)
(And sometimes we have really good nosh too!)
Cookie Rewards
If you have not yet picked up your cookie rewards please text or call Laurie Bannister-Williams at (203)577-7977 to arrange a time for pickup.
Girl Scout Grand Prix
The Girl Scout Grand Prix v3.0 has been re-rescheduled for Sunday, May 19 at 2:00pm at the Disabled American Veteran’s hall in Port St Lucie. Neither rain, nor snow, nor extended cookie seasons will keep this race from going this May. If your troop would like to get in on the action, we still have some car kits available and there’s still time to make some cars. Interested? Send Joe an email at [email protected]
Ingathering Report
We had a small-but-mighty Ingathering this month. The girls enjoyed their time at Camp Welaka, had some fun exploring different countries and their Olympic events, and might have even had a sneak peek at the newly restored Catwalk through the mangroves. (And I understand from my troop that while the Australian TimTams were tasty, the Marmite was….. less popular. But we can’t knock a new experience!)
At any rate, we so rarely get the chance to gather together and share experiences across troops like this, so thank you to everyone who came out and camped together. And a special thank-you to Karyl and the Ingathering planning team for putting it all together for us! And if you missed out, we’ll be doing it again!
And lastly…
Keep an eye out for some surveys. This is the time of year that we like to take stock as service unit, check in with everyone, and talk about how we can help support you better in the next year. They’ll come in an email like this one. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
