Fall Products Sale starts this FRIDAY, Sept 21st

Through the Fall Product Program girls practice entrepreneurship through the sale of nuts, candies, chocolates, magazines (digital, print, and renewals), organic vegetable kits, gift cards, donation opportunities, and new this season: Tervis tumblers and specialty candles! Girls also develop key life skills including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

By participating in this program, girls are able to earn funds and plan the adventures of their dreams early in the membership year!

Troops earn 15% of every dollar of product sold.

To get started, troops need to:

1. Designate a Troop Fall Product Program Coordinator (TFPPC) for your troop, and have her complete the Troop Fall Product Program Coordinator agreement
2. Submit a Troop Bank Account Form
3. Email our Service Unit Fall Product Program Mentor (SUFPPM), Denise Kung, at denise_kung@hotmail and send her your troop # and coordinator contact info.
4. If you have not yet picked up fall sale materials for your troop, contact Denise to pick those up. This includes paper order forms for in-person selling, magazine order forms, and a list of key dates and deadlines to be aware of.

Please contact Denise with any questions about the sale. 
 

Spooky Trails Along Dark Trails

Leaders,
This fun event is back! The last time it was run, the girls had a great time!
 
Your troop is invited to create a spooky story, read one from a book, or play one from a disc. Girls are encouraged to make their characters come to life and dress the part.
Each troop is asked to select an area within the Historic District (outdoors) to tell their story. It’s ok if multiple troops select the same location.
Possible locations:
   The steps of the library
   In front of the Damon Tavern
   Near the Barn next to the Putnum House
   The Putnam House and its grounds
   The building on the common
   The gazebo on the common
   On the steps of the Congregational Church
In the event of rain, all stories will be told in the Library Activity Room. This is a troop event and leaders/registered adults are expected to stay with their girls.

Please complete the attached flyer here and return at the October
Leader Meeting. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or email me. Information is on the flyer.

Hope to see all of you there!
