School Starts This Week!

I don't know about you, but I can hardly believe that school will be starting in just three days!  I hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day weekend as we close out the summer.

I thought I'd send out a few reminders and events to add to your calendar before the onslaught of back-to-school forms and flyers begins:

- This Tuesday, September 4th is the Party in the Park at La Grande Park from 3pm-5pm.  For those who are planning to attend, you should have already purchased your wristband.  They will NOT be sold at the event!

- I'll be hosting an Ice Cream Social on Thursday, September 13th from 6:30-7:30pm at my home.  This will be a relaxing hour to reunite our troop and share about all that we did during the summer and what we'd like to accomplish for the 2012-2013 school year.

- Bridging Ceremony / Parent Meeting is planned for Saturday, September 22nd at 10:30-11:30am.  Please have your girls bring their Daisy tunics to this event.  We will be using the money raised from our cookie sales to purchase the Brownie sashes for all the girls, so there is NO NEED to purchase it yourself prior to the ceremony.

- Troop meetings will take place once a month on THURSDAYS (pending School One's approval for room availability) after school.  I know this is different from the Wednesdays we used to meet.  I hope this isn't a huge inconvenience for any of the girls and doesn't conflict with any other commitments.  Our first troop meeting is planned for Thursday, October 11th at 3:20-5:00pm.

- In addition to our monthly troop meetings, we will be participating in various events/trips/activities throughout the year.  Our first activity will be visiting the Scotch Plains TD Bank on Thursday, October 25th after school.  We will need some chaperones and drivers for this event, so if you can help out please let us know!

**For those who are interested, a copy of our financial report for the previous year will be available at the Bridging Ceremony / Parent Meeting.

If you would like to be removed from these updates, please e-mail me and I will remove your address from the distribution list.
