Summer Girltopia Journey Weekend

NRGS Seniors and Ambassadors! (9th-12th graders)--
Winchester's Service Unit is thinking about offering a Girltopia Journey weekend and is looking for a weekend that would work for most girls who may be interested.  This event would be open to any current 9th-12th grader needing to complete one or two Journeys before working on their Gold Award Project.  This is not a North Reading Girl Scout event.  The cost of the event is $30 and would cover lodging, food and supplies.  The majority of the Journey would be hopefully completed that weekend, except for the take action journey project.
If interested, please discuss with your Leader or complete the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/83R97PH   
Any questions, please contact Elli Goeke at troop77026@gmail.com.

Lion King Tickets!!!! Sponsored by the Concord/Carlisle Service Unit



The Lion King is coming to the Boston Opera House from Sept 9, 2014 thru Oct 12, 2014, and the Concord/Carlisle Service Unit has arranged for group discounted tickets for Girl Scouts and their families and friends.
These are the 2 different ways to get tickets, so read carefully.
Tickets for the Sunday Oct 5, 2014 Matinee at 1pm   -   PAYMENT DUE THURSDAY, JUNE 26 - BY 3PM -
Although all matinee performances are sold out to the general public, I am holding a block of seats for this matinee performance only.  The seats are Mezz Right Center and Left Center, rows L, M, N.  If you go to the Ticketmaster site they will NOT appear as available (because I have them reserved), but you can see where they are.  The cost is $100 per ticket.  If you were to buy them online on your own, they would cost $138 per ticket, if they were available, which they are not.  To get some of these seats, you need to send a check for $100 per seat to me at my home address or send me a Paypal payment.  If you are interested in tickets for this show, e-mail me IMMEDIATELY at swalkerma@hotmail.com  and I will send you my address or Paypal info.   Note: Although I have 75 seats reserved, Concord and Carlisle Girl Scout families will have 1st priority if I get too many requests.  UPDATE _ STILL HAVE 40 MATINEE SEATS AVAILABLE!
The cutoff for my receiving your payment for this matinee performance only is 3 PM ON JUNE 26, SO DON’T DELAY.   THERE WILL NOT BE ANY EXCEPTIONS OR EXTENSIONS.   Any unsold held seats will be released after this date.
Tickets for non-matinee performances – ANY show you want   –   Available until Aug 31 -
I do not have any seats reserved for this method – you purchase your seats from whatever is available. This means the longer you wait, the less selection you have.  The prices are different for different performances, with not all seat locations offered at the discount.  Prices start at $63 for some of the shows.   To purchase tickets at our group rate, you use a special version of the Ticketmaster system and will need a Broadway in Boston login.  If you created one for purchasing tickets for Wicked last year, you can use it again.   There is an 8 seat limit per account, so if you need more than 8 tickets, contact me (or create another account).
Step 1:  go to this page and select a show date.  You must go to this specific page, NOT the regular
Step 2:   Enter the Special Offer Code         CONCORDGS
Step 3:  Log into your Broadway in Boston account.  If you created one for purchasing tickets for Wicked last year, you can use it again.  You can also create a new account.  You must have an account to get these tickets.  To create an account you only need to provide a name and e-mail.  
Step 4:  Select your number of tickets and price point.  The system will then offer you specific seats, which you can accept or select different ones.  If you pick "Best Available" you will get the more expensive seats.   I suggest you open up a separate Ticketmaster window and pretend you want to buy tickets.  If you do this you can mouse over seats and see where they are and what they normally sell for.   The full price Ticketmaster site is:   http://www.ticketmaster.com/venueartist/8835/820969?brand=baa      
Step 5:  Once you have the seats you want, press “Continue” and you will be prompted for your credit card information.  You must pay for the tickets at this time.  You will get electronic tickets that you must print out yourself.  These are your only tickets to the show.
General info:
-  Use the interactive Opera House seating chart to see the view from different locations:  http://www.bostonoperahouse.com/SeatingChart.htm 
-  To see what full price tickets are, go online and check for specific seats.      http://www.ticketmaster.com/venueartist/8835/820969?brand=baa
- e-mail me with questions:  swalkerma@hotmail.com
- This is NOT an official Girl Scout event.  Adults are responsible for their own children and transportation. 
- And no, there are NOT any patches this time.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!


Service Project - Watering the Town Hall Gardens  WE NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE!!!!
We need volunteers to help keep the gardens watered all summer long!  Ruth Kennedy sent every Leader an email for you to sign up for a week through Volunteer Spot!  Please consider taking a week this summer to help water the plants as these vegetables will be harvested and given to the Food Pantry families in need all summer long.  You will need to carry about 10 one gallon jugs full of water to the site as there is no water source at Town Hall and we are not allowed to use the water in the Town Hall for watering these plants.  Please, Please, Please Leaders...we only have one week assigned thus far!!!  It's a long, hot summer...we are particularly looking for help from August 13-26th when Ruth will not be able to be there for back up!  Weeks begin on a Sunday.  It would be a shame if the plants failed as this was a wonderful Gold Award Project initiated by a fellow Girl Scout two summers ago.  Please contact Ruth Kennedy at ruthekennedy@gmail.com with any questions!
