Donate Food to Families in Need for Thanksgiving!
The Las Vegas Rotary Club has been a significant contributor to Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada through the years. They have financially supported numerous projects at Camp Foxtail, purchased the flagpoles and flags in front of the service center, and provided the equipment we use to produce the information disks for troops. Now it's our turn to support them. Each year the club conducts a friendly competition with the Kiwanis Club to see which organization can bring in the most non-perishable items and donate them to families in need. We are inviting troops to help with this effort.
If you would like to participate, please bring in your non-perishable food items to our Thanksgiving meeting November 23rd. You will receive one Give Thanks Patch per girl for donating at least 2 items.
We will meet form 5:30 to 6:45pm Tuesday November 23rd.
I will turn in our donations to the Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada Council Shop the following day November 24th to donate our food & recieve the girls patches!

Sorry! Nothing like late notice..but we are making posters tomorrow for the veterans day parade at our meeting. If you have an active military family member or a veteran your child wishes to honor feel free to send them with a “copy” of a picture or two for them to add to their poster. The posters are 14x22 and each girl will be making one to carry in the parade, so anything that will fit on that size is great! The pictures will not be returned, copies only! I will also be handing out their Girl Scout Member pins tomorrow to each girl. Please send them with their tunic so we can add the pins to them :)
If you received a notice in the mail regarding registration for 2011..unfortunately we have to register again. I was told by the Spring Valley Unit that they would register us late in 2010 to carry us into all of 2011. Today after meeting with Marabel at the Council office I found out differently. Some of you that joined later in the year are fine. But the majority of us need to re-register for 2011. I will get the paperwork all together here and have it ready for each parent to sign tomorrow. The council is requiring the $12 registration fee again when I send the forms in. Another huge miscommunication from the council to me and I apologize for the inconvenience to us! I will try to help and keep it simple and have most the work done when you come to the meeting tomorrow. Please bring a Check made out to Girl Scouts of America for $12.00.
Also Keep in mind during our Thanksgiving Party meeting November 23rd the girls will be having a light Thanksgiving Feast and they need to bring at least 2 canned or boxed items for the food drive the girls will be having to help support the hungry during the thanksgiving holiday. The girls will be working toward a Food Drive Patch in the following months and possibly will visit a soup kitchen the first of next year. It is still all in the works :)
All Thanksgiving food items the girls will eat at the party will be fruit, cheeses, and turkey…No cookies or possible nut items will be served. Please let me know if your child has any food allergies!
Thank you for all you support!! Joani Williams

Back Yard Camp Evening - Cancelled- Friday 10/22/10
I am Canceling the back yard camping evening :( Searching weather.com, they claim it to be cloudy this evening around 7 when we need to see the moon. Half of our meeting is using a telescope and learning moon phases. We will reschedule the back yard evening for another date. I will keep you posted on the new date as we figure it out. Bummer I have seen no sun all day, on the one day I need it to be cloud free in Vegas! Smiles, Joani

Due to conflicting time schedules and parent suggestions I am recreating the calendar for girl scouts the rest of the year. With Cheerleading, Science, Tutoring, homework etc. all being directly after school I need to change the meeting times. I feel this will work well for the girls to be able to get activities, homework and dinner in before the fun activities we have in the evening! Per suggestions the best time would be to keep the meetings on Tuesdays and have them from 5:30 to 6:30pm or 6 to 7pm. We currently lose nearly 30 minutes every meeting waiting on kids to arrive from school at 3:30, so we are not loosing actual meeting time setting it for 1 hour long. I will wait for all feedback before creating the new calendar. This will also cut out snack time as well seeing as the kids will not have the after school munchies. Please let me know if this will work for you!! Thank you!
As for next week just a slight change in plans. The Halloween Party will be Tuesday October 19th as planned but from 5-7pm. I hope this gives some time for homework and costume dress up. We will have a light dinner, cupcake walk, Halloween games, and so much more! A donation to the girl scout fund would be greatly appreciated to cover the fun events, food, and prizes for the upcoming holiday season. It is not required! We will be having a Thanksgiving party and Christmas party for the girls as well this year. They will be receiving new badges as they celebrate the wonderful holidays this season. I have so many fun things planned during the wonderful holiday events for the girls!
We will keep the Camp out separate and at the same time and place Friday, October 22nd from 6:30-8:30pm! I feel we need to keep the events separate..when I began to consider combining the events, there is just no way to have it all in one night. It is a special treat to have the camp out, tents, astronomy lesson, telescope, story time, etc. I look forward to the fun evening with the girls! Remember to where casual clothing in layers and bring a sleeping bag or blanket for the evening outside.
I look forward to January when our cookie sales start. The girls will attend a cookie carnival for pre-sales information on the cookies in January. All the cookie sale proceeds will benefit our troop and be directly used for all their fun events! I apologize I may be asking for more parent help during this holiday season due to no funding in our girl scout troop fund yet. Thanks for All your Support!
Any thoughts on any matters listed are greatly appreciated!! Smiles, Joani

October Daisy Girl Scout Events !!!
Oct. 5th - meeting from 3:30 to 5. We will be working on a service project making Thank You notes for the Shark Reef Staff and the Mountains Edge Fire Station. The girls will also be helping plan our upcoming Halloween Party and Camp Out Adventure.
Tuesday Oct. 19th is the Daisy Halloween Party!!
Plan on a longer meeting this day full of Halloween Fun and Games!! Send your child in a Halloween Costume for the Party! We will plan on meeting from 5-7pm this day!
Lets take a look at the moon during our camp out training meeting...
Friday Oct. 22nd is our Camp Out Training and Fun! A few changes are being made due to parent feedback on the event. It will no longer be an over night event...we will try this at a later date when the kids are better associated with everyone and a bit older to not have fearful kids scared at night. I am pretty sure my daughter will be begging for shelter indoors after the bed time story in the tent also :) We will meet at my house from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Please send your child in comfortable clothing and shoes, also bring thier sleeping bags for story time in the tents in the back yard. We will be spending the entire evening with Camping activities, including a campfire, smore's, counting stars, and looking at the moon in a telescope. We will end the evening with bed time stories and hand shadow shows in their tents :) Please be here to pick up your child at 9pm for a good night sleep in their own comfy beds. I feel this is a great start to prepare them for camping in the future!
