Fly Up Meeting Minutes - 3/15/11

Fly Up Planning Meeting - 3/15/11


What is Fly Up? Flying up is graduation from one level to the next. Every troop that is moving from one level to the next can fly up and will receive her wings.

Troops can also earn their bridging patch - updated requirements are out at girlscoutseasternmass.org

It will be held at NR HS Auditorium on 5/22 6-8p.m. Because dates are tight, there will be no rehearsal; however, the Senior troop that is flying up will help coordinate the troops in lining up to minimize confusion.

This year's theme is "Candyland".

Ceremony will follow this format:
o Flag ceremony (5 min)
o Presentation of banners (5 min) explain banners
o Welcome (5 min) done by Amy
o Juliette Low World Friendship Fund Collection (5 min).  This is a donation made to support troops around the world, suggested donation by each troop is 50 cents to 1 dollar per girl
o Crossing the bridge (30 min)
o Entertainment - Slide show (5-10 min)
o Leader Awards (5-10 min) done by Amy
o Closing Ceremony (5 min)
o Refreshments (25 min)

Each troop takes a job - and the girls should be involved in doing the work of the job.  Jobs were assigned as follows:
  • Site Reservations/73904/Alycia McGoldrick
  • Invitation Flyer/71868/Kate Mahoney

Remember: Troops doing set up must arrive 30 minutes early (Stage décor, bridge décor, refreshments, seating assignments)

All girls should arrive 10 minutes early

Rosters were checked.
Each troop pays for wings, pin, bridges from their account (or have parents pay). We suggest that these items are NOT handed out at Fly Up.

No need to fill out an activity form – I will take care of that.

Each troop brings 3-4 dozen desserts.
