Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is looking forward to Sweet and Sassy!
Today we will go over the upcoming schedule plus the details
on the Globetrotter event and the Father Daughter Dance.
Attached is the upcoming winter schedule and today's
handouts.
The father daughter dance is on Friday, February 28th.
Details in the invitation attached. Cost is $65 Per Couple
(girl scout and dad/uncle/friend) plus $20 for each
additional girl attending (sisters). In addition, each girl
attending is asked to donate one $5-$10 value item to be
used as part of the event's tricky tray. The father
daughter dance theme is "Red Carpet" and there will be a
photo booth, DJ, and a small tricky tray that night. Sounds
like a really fun event!
The father daughter dance is being run by an older troop but
our troop is organizing the tricky tray portion only. We
are asking for all parent's help (not just our troop) to ask
local businesses and friends for donations. Nail salons,
hair salons, restaurants, sports teams, bagel stores, coffee
shops, accessory stores, etc. Most local businesses are
extremely generous with donations to non-profit
organizations. A letter is attached that you can use to ask
a local business for support. They can give you the
donation directly or have it mailed to my house. We will
collect all of the donations (from the troop leaders and the
local businesses) and create the baskets that will be used
during the tricky tray.
So - here are the key dates and what the next steps are:
1. RSVP for Father Daughter dance is February 1st. Money
and $5-10 donation item (from your girl) is due to Lisajoy
by February 1st. You can drop in my mailbox or call me
before you come.
2. Use the attached letter to ask for donations from local
businesses or friends. No donation is too small! We'd like
to ask that each family try to secure two donations from
local businesses or friends. These donations can be dropped
off to Lisajoy any time before February 24th.
3. Once we have all of the donations, we need a handful
volunteers to get together to create and wrap the baskets
for the tricky tray. This will be done the week of February
24th one or two nights after work. If you can volunteer to
help create the baskets, please let me know. I'll have wine
:)
4. We need 3-4 moms to attend the father daughter dance and
run the tricky tray event. This will include setting up the
tables, organizing the baskets, collecting the money, and
picking the winners. If you can volunteer to help the night
of the father daughter dance, please let me know.
Thank you and if you have any questions, please let us know.
Best,
Andrea, Dawn, Erica & Lisajoy
