Food Drive Update

On Sunday, July 10th, we delivered all of our Food Drive donations to the BCHG Doylestown Food Pantry. Our goal was to collect 100 pounds of food in celebration of the 100 years of Girl Scouting. I am very excited to say that we not only reached our goal but we exceeded it! In the end, we collected 296 pounds of food!

There were several families at the Food Pantry while we were dropping off our donations. I can't even begin to tell you how thankful they all were. Thank you for all of your help with this drive.

Other Reminders:

 

Don't forget Spring Registration is now open. If you want to register now for the next Girl Scouting year, I will need your registration forms and payment by Saturday, June 9th. (This is not mandatory, your Daisy can wait until September to register. By registering in the Spring, she would be eligible to receive a special patch at the start of the new school year.) So, please bring them to either the movies or the bridging ceremony.

 

If you ordered the Lip Sync DVD, please bring your payment either on Friday or Saturday, so that I can give you the DVD.

 

Also, please don't forget about the FOOD DRIVE! We will have a box in the school lobby until Thursday. Please have your Daisy at least bring one item to the school so that the box starts to get some items. It might just inspire others to bring in some donations too!

 

You can bring the rest of your donations to my home. We are trying to collect at least 100 pounds of food! So, we really need everyone to participate. If your Daisy is just taking all her donations to the school, please let me know so that I don't expect you to bring more to our home.

 

If you have any questions about either event or any of the reminders, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Girl Scout Tree Initiative

We are participating in GSEP's GIRL SCOUTS FOREVER GREEN initiative of planting 10,000 trees statewide.   We will be planting the saplings (either Eastern White Pine or Eastern Hemlock) in honor of Girls Scouts 100th Anniversary and will also help contribute towards the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's goal of planting 1,000,000 trees by 2020!

Our troop has been allocated 3 trees to plant. So, now we have to decide on a place to plant them.

WHERE to plant a tree:

1. Where you have permission to plant

2. Where it’s easy to tend (Water? Access?)

3. As a public amenity, wildlife enhancement, riparian buffer

4. Choose the right tree for the right place (Under wires? Wet area? Salt exposure? Will it obstruct sight line for vehicles or pedestrians?)

If you have any suggestions for a good place, please let me know as soon as possible.
