Fall Product - Final Count

From Denise Kung- “We had 13 troops participating and total sales just over $16,000. Incredible job by everyone! We had 11 troops sell over $750, which I believe means we earned a service unit bonus of $220. We did better in total sales and in troops breaking the $750 mark over last year.”

Frozen 2- Event Full

Daisies, Brownies and their families are invited to a private showing of Frozen 2 at Woburn Showcase Cinemas on Wednesday, November 27^th at 1pm. There are 40 seats available and the cost is $11 a ticket. Please venmo @Rebecca-Lowe-32, or drop off cash/check to 16 Pleasant Street. Registration will only be considered complete after both signupgenius registration and payment is received. ***This event filled in less than 24 hours so I’ve reached out to the theater to see if we have any options. If this event is a success I would love it to be annual with the possibility of moving it to a theater that is farther afield, but that can accommodate a larger group. Also, a separate film event for older girls is in the works.
