MEETING AT KELLI'S: JANUARY 29, 2011

Instead of having our meeting at the gym, we thought it would be a nice change of scenery to have it at Kelli's house. The girls enjoyed an afternoon full of fun! When they arrived, they all played Just Dance2 on Wii. It was very cute to see all the girls dancing in unison to the music. After working up an appetite, they had pizza, popcorn, cookies, and brownies for lunch. We then took a ride on the golf cart down to the barn to visit the horses. We ended the afternoon, by watching Marmaduke. It was a very fun-filled day!

MEETING JANUARY 18, 2011

At this week's meeting, the girls earned their Penny Power Try-It. We acted out an activity in which the girls went door to door to sale cookies. With their profit, they then visited Kelli's Store. They used their money to buy things and learned about counting money and making change. They also got to test a money marker pen on fake money and real money to learn the difference. This will definitely help them when it comes time for our cookie booth. In our group discussion we talked about how we earn money at home by doing chores. The girls were given information regarding a savings account, should the parents wish to set one up for them. For our craft, we made Valentine cards. These cards will be given to Hearts for Kids to be distributed to children in area hospitals.

We ended the meeting with a game of octopus tag. The girls sure had a great time doing that.

MEETING JANUARY 8, 2011

It was all about cookies at this week's meeting as the girls earned their Cookies Count Try-It. We discussed the upcoming cookie sale, demonstrated how to sale the cookies, made our cookie booth poster and Cookies for Soldiers box and talked about what we would like to do with our cookie profit. Traci Ward spoke to the girls about the possibility of adopting a dog for the soldiers overseas. The girls really liked that idea.

Thank you Wendi and Katie for bringing snacks.

MEETING DECEMBER 18, 2011

Since we missed the last meeting, we had an extra long meeting to get caught up. At today's meeting the girls earned the Art To Wear Try-It. They made holiday wreath pins and bottle cap necklaces. The necklaces were make with bottlecaps, a washer, and a magnet. They turned out really cute. We also got to make Christmas ornaments. At the end of our meeting we played a game of Chinese Christmas.
