Hi everyone,
As a follow-up to our meeting last week, we wanted to
provide some details and next steps for our "Dessert with
Divas" event.
The "Dessert with Divas" event is a community service
project being organized by our grade 3-5 girls to earn their
Bronze Award. They will be collecting donations for the
Newark Beth Israel NICU patients. Even though the event is
being organized by our grade 3-5 girls the ENTIRE troop is
participating in the event :)
INVITES
Attached is the invitation and printed copies of the
invitation were sent home on Sunday. All girls in the troop
are encouraged to invite special women to the event -
grandmothers, aunts, cousins, neighbors, teachers, etc. We
are planning for approx 80 people. If you have any
questions about the invitations please let us know.
RSVPS
All RSVPS should go through Dawn. Her contact info is on the
invite. If someone RSVPs to you directly, please just send
their info to Dawn. We want to ensure we have a headcount
of who is attending so we have enough food and supplies.
Thank you!
NICU DONATIONS
The event will be collecting donations for the Newark Beth
Israel NICU patients. A sample list of donation suggestions
is included in the invite. The girls in our troop should
also make a donation. A representative from the NICU will
be at the event to accept the donations that day.
ENTERTAINMENT
After a short presentation about the project and the NICU,
all of the girls are the entertainment for the event :)
They are putting together a "Diva Talent Expo" to showcase
all of their great talents. Each girl in the troop is
encouraged to participate and be in no more than 2 acts for
the expo. For the grade 3-5 girls we started talking about
their "talents" at the meeting. So far they have identified
gymnastics, singing, jump rope, circus tricks, and poetry
reading. For the grade K-2 girls we thought it would be
best to work with you parents on their "talents" and what
they would be comfortable performing. Please start to think
about this and let me know if you have ideas. Be creative!
We will finalize the acts for the expo at our May meeting,
so if you will not be attending please connect with me
before then. Thanks! In addition, Ashley Vitale will help
us coordinate a finale and bows for the expo. This will be
done at the May meeting. I will video the finale and bows
so any girl that is not at the meeting in May can review at
home and learn it. We will also practice it before the
event on June 8th.
FOOD and DRINKS
All girls in the troop are being asked to bring food and
drink items for the event. For families with more than one
girl scout, please sign up for one item per girl. To view
our sign up page, go to:

The event is still nearly two months away, but hopefully
this information will get you started. Thank you and if you
have any questions, please let us know.
Best,
Andrea, Dawn, Erica & Lisajoy
