Joanne Gibson, our new
Service Unit Cookie Mentor for NR, will hopefully have troop cookie
materials for troops to pick up at the November meeting as well as samples of
cookies including the new S’mores cookie!! This season marks the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts selling
cookies to fund their activities and
adventures.
The cookie season
starts on December 9th and Jo will be putting together information for booth
sales at Wal-Mart and Stop and Shop and she sent an email already to
your designated Cookie Troop Managers about this.
SNAP will be open on November 8th for lottery entries to win a
COBS (Council Organized Booth Sale) at MBTA stations. Your
Cookie Manager MUST pay attention to the instructions on the GSEM site and meet
the December 2nd deadline in order to be considered for an MBTA COBS, including
requiring two adult troop members who need to submit paperwork for COBS.
Troops can enter up to 100 entries to try and win a COB. Please remind
your Cookie Manager to go on the GSEM cookie site and click on the
For Cookie Sellers page and learn about how to get
started so your troop is ready to go when the season starts!
Jo’s contact information is joanneg@gmail.com.
