From:

Fanwood- Scotch Plains Community of Girl Scouts
Here's news from
the Council,
http://westfieldnj.com/girlscouts/newsfromgswrc090308.htm
In local news, our FSP service team will be meeting Sept. 11 at
7:30 at Fanwood Presbyterian Church. Anyone is welcome who is
interested in helping with GS in the community. Right now we are
most in need of a troop organizer at
Coles School, someone to manage the Family Support
Partnership program (formerly known as Family Giving, which will
occur in the fall) and a chairperson for
the 2nd-3rd grade Father-Daughter Dance.
Recruitment Night, for any new Girl Scouts, but primarily
kindergarten & 1st graders, will be Sept. 16 at 7:00 p.m. at
Terrill Middle School cafeteria.
The first Leaders Meeting, known as “Meet Your Consultant
Night,” will be Thursday, October 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Fanwood
Presbyterian.
See you then!

We’re NUTS for Girl Scouting!
Annual Nuts / Candies / Magazine Subscriptions Sale
Training for your troop’s nut sale manager will be
Monday, September 15, 2008, in the Fanwood Room
@ the Fanwood Memorial Library, corner of North Ave. and
Tillotson Rd.
The troop nut sale manager may choose one of the two sessions:
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm or 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm.
Please contact Liz Hensley,
FSP Service Unit Nut Sale Manager, @ 908.490.0921 or liz036@yahoo.com
with the name, phone number, and email address of your troop’s
nut sale manager.
This year’s nuts sale has lots of changes - higher troop profit
(profit is now $1.00 per nut item!), troop orders must be
entered online, magazine subscriptions can be ordered online,
customers must pay when placing nuts order, Daisies can
participate, …
Therefore, a nut sale manager from each participating troop
must attend a Monday, September 15 training session.
The dates for the 2008 Girl Scout nut sale campaign are:
Monday, Sept 15 - Troop Nut Sale Manager training
Saturday, Sept 20 - Friday, Oct 17 - Orders Taken
Tuesday, Oct 21 - Troop nut sale orders and troop checks due
Thursday, Nov 20 - Nut Sale Order Pick up @ Evangel Church

Open Service Team Positions
While you’re relaxing this summer, think about who can help fill
some spaces on our Service Team. All of these jobs can be filled by
someone who is not a troop leader (in fact, it’s better if we can
find non-leaders for these.) We need:
-
Organizer for Coles
School - This job happens mostly in the fall & spring. Attend
FSP Recruitment Night in the fall, work with new K-1st grade
parents to form new troops, help them get paperwork done. In the
spring, get registration forms out to troops & back to the
registrar (Debra Slaugh). In between fall & spring, find troops
for any new girls who come along. If you can think of anyone who
might fit this description at Coles, please contact
me or
Debra Slaugh.
-
Chairperson(s) for
the 2nd & 3rd grade Father-Daughter Dance - There are
extensive files on what has been done in the past; this can just
involve asking all the same suppliers to “do it again.” This job
could be shared by 2 people. Contact
me with any possible
names!

Coordinator for the Family Support Partnership program (formerly
known as Annual Giving & Gifts for Girls)

Girl Scout Promise
On my
honor, I will try:
To
serve God* and my country,
To help
people at all times,
And to
live by the Girl Scout Law.
* The word "God" can be interpreted in
a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When
reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is okay to replace the word
"God" with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate.

Girl Scout Law
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and
caring,
courageous and
strong, and
responsible for what
I say and do,
and to
respect myself and
others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a
better place, and
be a sister to every
Girl Scout.
