Parents Meeting Recap

Daisy Troop 2229's Parent Meeting was held on Tuesday, September 13. I am including a simple bulleted list of what we talked about and things that need to be done before the next meeting.

 I will keep a blog of all the emails I send. On the blog, you can Link to any of the references that I make by clicking on the underlined word. You can check/bookmark the blog here

• Snack Sign-up went around, if you did not get a chance to sign up for snack, I still have a few open days and I will have the sign up at the first meeting. Simple snacks like Teddy Grahams,Goldfish, Cheez-Its work best. They do not have to be individually wrapped. I will email a reminder the Friday before the meeting. You can either put the snack in their backpack or drop it off at my house.
• Any adult that stays in the cafeteria during meetings, drives for fields trips, or participates in an way with the troop, MUST be a Registered Adult Member. Adult member pay an annual registration fee of $12 to Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri and must submit to a one time background investigation. Please let me know if you need a copy of the paperwork for becoming a registered adult.
• Troop Dues is the money collected for use within the troop. It covers pins, badges, crafts supplies, etc. We are collecting $18 for troop dues this year.
• Girl Scout Registration Fee is the annual fee that we pay to Girl Scouts. 
• Financial Assistance is available. There is a "financial assistance" section on the bottom of the registration forms. Just complete the statement of need when completing those forms.
• The girls will be dismissed from school to Girl Scouts on meeting days per the form you have completed. If I am missing your form or you were not at the parent meeting, I will email a copy to you. Please get it back to me as soon as possible so I can turn them into the teachers.  I will check the girls in. If your daughter is sick, please send me an email or leave me a message. I am a little neurotic about things like that and will call you if I do not have your daughter and haven't been notified.
• Please come inside to sign the girls out at 5:00 p.m.
• Uniforms can be purchased at Checkered Flag (new location near Ronnie's Plaza), Ben Franklin the Girl Scout Shop, or online.

I think that is everything. If you have any questions at all, never hesitate to contact me!
