Solidiers Care Package Bronze Award Updates
November 14, 2008 GS MEETING: Here's an update on the soldier care project group:
The girls will need to report on all the items and their status at our next meeting on Jan 9, 2009. Taylor and Holly spent 1/2 hour planning at our meeting on 11/14/08. Please be sure to keep track of all time spent on this project! I am proud of each and every one of you, as you develop your leadership skills and take action to help some of the soldiers serving our country. You are becoming model citizens yourselves!
Ms. Gin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fliers - Holly made fliers and distributed 75 in her neighborhood. She picked up the items and has them at her house. (Holly - how much time did all of that work take? - please keep track). Holly will email her flier to Jenn and Taylor. Jenn and Taylor need to create their own unique flier, using the list of needed items from Holly's flier. Jenn and Taylor need to pick one group of people to solicit donations from (could be neighbors, church friends, parents' co-workers, etc). They need to hand out fliers and collect items, hopefully before our next meeting (Jan 9 2009).
Badge - Taylor and Holly completed requirement #4 of "Model Citizen" at our meeting. The only remaining requirement for this badge, that we haven't worked on during a meeting, is to visit a website to meet requirement #5. Holly has found such a website. The girls will meet at Taylor's to play the game on the website, in which they create an imaginary government. (Ms Gin is sending a copy of Model Citizen to Taylor on 11/25/08 so she can complete items on her own). Jenn needs to complete one more requirement of Model Citizen on her own. We will not work on this badge anymore during meetings.
Booths - Jen asked at Kroger and they said no for now. Holly asked at Ingles and they said YES. Holly will set up 2 dates at Ingles for Taylor, Jenn and Holly to work at, along with their parent(s) and Ms. Gin if needed. I don't believe Taylor asked anyplace if we could set up a booth. We can do these booths anytime between now and March. We will spend time at January meeting planning exactly how the booths will be set up.
Action points:
TAYLOR
Invite Jenn and Holly to come to your house to play the game on the website that Holly found (Badge requirement #5).

Be sure you have completed 4 requirements from Model Citizen on your own. You have done #4 with Holly, and #5 you will do with Jenn and Holly.

Solidier Care Package Service Project Updates
Soldier Care Packages Project Actions
The girls doing the Soldier Care Packages project narrowed down some of their options on the camping trip. This resulted in the following actions:
1. BOOTHS - The girls want to find out if they can set up booths at stores, to hand out lists of items that the soldiers have requested. They would have a box to collect the donated items. They also want to invite people to write poems to encourage the soldiers and thank them for thier service. Ms Gin shared with them that Publix doesn't allow any solicitation in front of their store. They need to find out if this is possible from the store managers.
Action point by next meeting which is Nov 14:
Holly - contact INGLES
Jen - contact KROGER at Russell Ridge (or other if it is more convenient)
Taylor - can contact another store that her family shops at, or may have another idea about this.
2. FLIERS - A flier needs to be created that lists items that the troops need. Holly and Jen worked on that list of items (based on the list that Taylor had written at the last GS meeting). They decided to leave "tampons" off the list because it may be uncomfortable for a Dad raising boys alone. They will ask for monetary donations to help cover postage costs, and purchase any feminine supplies along with other supplies from any money received. Ms. Gin will proof read the fliers that each girl creates, before they are distributed. On the flier, they will specify how they will collect the items. It could be something like "we'll come around in the neighborhood on Saturday December 6" or "Please drop off items at my Dad's office by Fri Dec 5". ALL the girls will be seeking donations from their neighborhoods, church groups, parents' workplaces, and other groups such as band and chorus if their teachers allow it.
Action point by next meeting which is Nov 14:
Holly - email list of items that Jen and she compiled, to both Jen and Taylor. Create a flier with that list that you will distribute to your own group of contacts.
Jen - Create a flier with that list that you will distribute to your own group of contacts.
Taylor - Create a flier with that list that you will distribute to your own group of contacts.
3. BADGE - The Junior Girl Scout Badge that Jen and Holly decided to work on, which is related to this service project, is "Model Citizen" which is on p. 20 of the Junior Badge Book. They completed items 1 & 3 during our camping weekend. Items 8 & 9 they have already done. They ran the flag ceremony at our rededication ceremony to reinforce #8. They decided to do items 4 & 5 to complete this badge. All 3 girls will work on requirement #4 at our next GS meeting.
Action point by next meeting which is Nov 14:
Holly - look for a website that meets requirement #5 and share that info with the other girls & Ms. Gin. Visit that website and create a government.
Jen - look for a website that meets requirement #5 and share that info with the other girls & Ms. Gin. Visit that website and create a government.
Taylor - If Taylor wants to do this same badge, look for a website that meets requirement #5 and share that info with the other girls & Ms. Gin. Visit that website and create a government. Taylor may choose another badge if she prefers. OR She may do items 1 & 3 on her own, and look over 8 & 9 to make sure she has completed them.
The girls will need to report on all the items and their status at our next meeting on November 14. The girls will communicate through email about things they've found.Jen and Holly spent one hour planning this with Ms Gin on 10/4/08. Taylor, Jen and Holly all spent 1/2 hour brainstorming about this project on 9/12/08. Please be sure to keep track of all time spent on this project!
