District Meeting Recap

November 2007

 

The general portion of the November District meeting proved to be very short as many of us were returning from the Junior & Up Camporee

 

n      I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the individuals who volunteered to be on the committee, put this event together, and then worked their "you-know-whats" off during the weekend..  They are:  Chris, Julie, Cindy, Sharon, Lynette, Debbie, Erin, Laney, Terence, Darlene.  It takes quite a bit of planning and effort to put together a weekend event for over 200 girls and adults.  These individuals deserve a round of applause.  (Many of them also serve on our District Team).  I would also like to give a big thank you to those individuals who facilitated activities for our girls:  Wendy, Diane, Diane, Mary Louise, Ronnie, Brian, Sandy, Kathleen, Kelley, Cathy (and her college buddies). There were also many individuals who took a turn working in the kitchen or walking girls to their rotation sites, etc.  We appreciate ALL who helped during this event.  If I left anyone out of my list of thank you's, it was not intentional.  Everyone's help was much appreciated!!

n      Again, I'd like to say Welcome! to our new leaders.  What a great turnout we've been having from our new leader group.  They all seem excited and ready to "go" with their troops.  It may seem a bit overwhelming at first (paperwork, new faces, lots to learn) but the leader job is extremely rewarding.  District meetings may also seem a bit confusing and perhaps rushed.  Lots of questions, uncertainy, etc.  Bear with us.   Sometimes those of us who have been around for a while (never say "old") forget what it's like to be a "newbie."  We truly do want all of you to be successful. 

n      Deadline for poinsettia orders & $$ was yesterday.  Hope everyone got theirs to Chris.  Poinsettia pickup is Monday, November 26th at Weddington UM old fellowship Hall.  Chris will no doubt send out a reminder for "times" to pick up as we get closer to that date.

n      Cookies for Santa registration closed yesterday.  We are at capacity for this event which is coming up this Saturday, November 17th from 10 AM to 12 noon

n      Our December District meeting will include our Daisy Dollar Auction.  There are no roundtables scheduled for our December District meeting (12/9/07).  We'll have our general meeting, followed by the auction.  Bring your Daisy Dollars and bid for terrific gifts (for yourself or someone you love).   Even if you don't have a lot of Daisy Dollars yet, we will give you opportunities to earn more at our general meeting before the auction.  Come join us.  It's LOTS of fun!!

 

I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
