Holiday Party

On December 11th our troop had a Holiday Party at
Bertucci's. The girls got to make their own pizzas and got
a tour of the restaurant. What a great way to wrap up Girl
Scouts for Christmas! See everyone in January!

Holiday Cards for the Troops

At our 12/4 meeting the girls made Holiday Cards for our troops overseas.

Hi everyone. Attached are a few pictures from the 11/20 meeting. I also wanted to send two reminders about our next upcoming dates.

On Friday, December 3rd our troop will be participating in the tree lighting at the Evergreen Senior Center. Our girls will help hand out cookies to the attendees and also lead some Christmas carols. Please have your girl dress warm and wear a red/white Santa hat. If anything changes, I will let you know but girls should arrive 5:30 PM and the event starts at 6:00 PM.

Meeting location - First Presbyterian Church of Iselin

Hi everyone. I just went to preview our meeting space in
the First Presbyterian Church of Iselin. It is fantastic!
Special thanks to Glory Thomas (Bea's mother) and family for
arranging the use of the facility for us. I know you will
all love it!

I do want to clarify the location for you. Use the address
below to locate the general area but the entrance and
parking lot are actually on Middlesex Avenue. The First
Presbyterian Church is a smaller church in the back of the
large parking lot on Middlesex Avenue. Once you enter the
parking lot, look right on the right side to the brick
house/building. That is the building we will use. The
fence in front of the brick house says "Church School" on
blue signs. Park in the lot and enter right in the middle
under the roof. It is a fantastic space!

Please remember to send your girl with a water bottle,
snack, and napkin. We want to keep the space super clean :)

Thanks again and see most of you on Saturday.

Colonia Firehouse Field Trip

On November 16th our troop was lucky enough to take a field
trip to the Colonia Firehouse. The girls learned about the
engines, watched a fire safety video, and saw (up close) the
uniform/equipment the firemen wear. A few lucky moms
(including me!) got to go up 100 feet in the air in the
basket. So fun!

Lowe's Field Trip

The girls had a fantastic time. They had hand-on
demonstrations of how to cut carpet, kitchen/tile design,
and I think the big hit was them mixing paint. It was
really great.

More info on up coming meetings soon. I need to work out a
few details with the calendar through January.

Field Trip to Petco

Thank you to Petco on Rt 1 in Edison. Our girls had a
fantastic field trip!

Nature Walk and Scavenger Hunt

Thanks to Keri and Andrea for a great Nature Walk and
scavenger hunt today. Sounds fantastic!

Just a reminder that our first special activity is coming up
on Tuesday, November 2nd from 2:45 - 4:00 PM. We will be
going to PETCO on Route 1 where the girls will learn about
fish, reptiles, birds, and small animals. There is no cost
for this activity.

I realize this is during the day and many parents work, but
the girls have off from school for Teacher's convention (or
whatever it is called this year!).

I need to give PETCO a headcount, so if you will be
attending please reply back to me and let me know. Each
girl can bring a sibling or friend. Once I have a
headcount, I'll confirm our reservation with PETCO.

Thanks and see everyone on Tuesday, November 2nd.

Welcome back!

Welcome back to Girl Scouts! During our first meeting, we
introduced the new girls and did lots of fun activities as a
group. We taught the new girls the Girl Scout promise and
did a craft to help us always remember the promise. The
girls also got to decorate our new troop t-shirts that we
will wear at our meetings and activities until January! Fun
times.
