Hi Riverbend area Volunteers

We are looking for a troop or troops to make the favors for the Lincoln Center’s Luncheon in April.

See info below. If you are interested, please contact me ASAP
Thanks
Rachel

We will be having our luncheon on Wednesday, April 21 at Lincoln Center. Might the Girl Scouts consider making the corsages for us? Last year we needed 50.

Spaghetti Dinner

riverbendgs@yahoo.com — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:31:00 GMT

Hi Leaders!

Here is the spaghetti dinner info. again. We have heard what you all would like to see in the future w/the support of the RB Area (patches, events, buses, etc) to be available at little or no cost & so Melinda, along with the Service Team, came up with the idea to do a spaghetti dinner in hopes to raise the much needed money our area needs in order to provide discounted/free opportunities for troops in our area.

Do what you can. If you and/or your families are maxed out on fundraisers, don't do it. Just remember though.......what we put into our Riverbend Area Girl Scouts is what we get out of it. Please contact Melinda (on attachment) and buy some tickets!! We all want to make our area STRONG!!! Come on, we can do it!!

Thank you,

Jenelle

The RB Area is planning a spaghetti dinner and in order to make this a success, we need to sell these all you can eat spaghetti dinners on a pre-pay ticket basis. The reason we need to do it this way, is to (a) ensure we have enough food to go around; (b) RB Area won't be responsible to "pick up" the balance & actually lose $; (c) those who have tickets are guaranteed seating, since the tickets will not be available at the door.

Our goal is to sell 350 tickets by Mar 12th. Tickets are $6 per person.

You may contact Melinda Miller @ melindamiller7@aol.com to purchase tickets. They will also be available during our cookie delivery – date & time TBA. They MUST be paid in full before we can give you the tickets.

We will also be doing the silent basket raffle again this year, attached is a list of basket ideas for your troop to sign up to donate a basket to have displayed at the spaghetti dinner, to be bid on. The proceeds will go to the RB Area. If there is a troop # next to a basket, it has already been spoken for. If you can’t put a basket together we are also hoping leaders or troops can donate some desserts for the event. Please email Melinda if you are able to bring a dessert or basket.

Thank U Berry Munch Cookies/Ocean Spray Cranberry Stickers!

riverbendgs@yahoo.com — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:22:00 GMT

As you know, this year the Cookie Sale Program featured a new cookie, Thank U Berry Munch (TUBM) with real Ocean Spray cranberries and white fudge chips. To garner some more promotion and excitement for the cookie, GSNWGL entered into a partnership with Ocean Spray. Part of this partnership included our Council placing individual Ocean Spray stickers on each package of TUBM. The plan logistically is to have the girls place the stickers on the packages they sold before they pass them out to their customers. See the attached picture to show you where the stickers are to be placed.

You will receive a designated amount of stickers for your troop from the volunteer at the cookie truck. There are 50 stickers to a roll.

Attached is an image showing where the stickers are to be placed on the box.

We appreciate your assistance in making this portion of our partnership with Ocean Spray a reality.

Cookie Delivery

riverbendgs@yahoo.com — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:18:00 GMT

Cookie delivery is this Fri Mar 12^th from 3:00-6:00pm. Below you will find the schedule of pick up times, the trucks will be marked #1 & 2 to match the schedule below. Please bring enough people w/you to help you load & have a vehicle big enough to hold your cookies. I will have all the paperwork w/me at delivery.

Delivery location is Carpets Plus, 1230 Post Rd, Plover (across from the old Econo foods & next to Cliff's bait shop). You need to use the south entrance (you can access this entrance from both north & south of Post Rd) there is a blue sign that says where to enter. If you enter in the north entrance you will be asked to turn around & enter the south entrance. This is for the safety of all involved.

Spaghetti dinner tickets will be available to purchase at the delivery. Watch for Cadette scouts selling them.

Please be patient if we are not to your exact 5 minute mark, this is the first year we are trying a trailer delivery & I may be short handed on help. If you need to get a hold of me during the delivery time, please call my cell 347-3007. Thanks Shawn

Jenelle Hi All: Please read the below paragraphs regarding a cookie announcement from GSUSA and Little Brownie Baker: GSUSA has received some complaints involving Little Brownie Baker’s (LBB) Lemon Chalet Crème cookies. The complaints center on the taste and/or smell of the cookies. After doing some fact-finding, GSUSA and LBB learned that the Lemon Chalet Crème cookies of 15 batches were safe to eat, but do not pass Little Brownie’s quality test. Thirty-one councils nationwide were affected. Fortunately, our Council has not and will not receive any of the affected Lemon Chalet Crème cookies. No other cookie varieties in LBB’s product line were affected by this quality withdrawal. While our Council was not impacted, we wanted to share information about the situation in case you receive a customer inquiry. If anyone contacts you with questions or concerns, please direct them to the Product Program Department. Jacie Meier "It's A Girl!" baskets riverbendgs@yahoo.com — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:55:00 GMT Thank you to everyone who contributed to the “It’s A Girl!” service project; you have been very generous. If there’s anyone out there who would still like to make a donation, you have until Sunday, March 7, to get it to me. Please call 341-3589 or email mjwood@charter.net. Julie Wood spaghetti dinner riverbendgs@yahoo.com — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:55:00 GMT Hi Leaders! I just wanted to pass on a little bit of info. to you all regarding the spaghetti dinner...it is NOT all you can eat. I just found this out. Thanks for your understanding and I STILL hope to see most of you there!! Jenelle World Thinking Day donations riverbendgs@yahoo.com — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:53:00 GMT Thank you to the leaders & troops that participated in the World Thinking Day food drive. Twelve troops participated & collected 10 bags of non-perishable food items towards Operation Bootstrap. Patches will be ordered & brought to the next leader mtg. Spaghetti Dinner riverbendgs@yahoo.com — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:28:00 GMT Hi Leaders! At our recent leader mtg we had a concern about fundraising & how things are back to back. This was good that this was brought up. Yes, this is something that is being done during cookie season, but only a very small portion of the cookie sale benefits our RB Area. We could focus on the beginning of the school year, but then you will have all of the fundraising that goes on within our schools, churches & even GS with their nut & magazine sale. We then lead into holidays in which everyone is busy. We could look at this as more of a family event, we can still make this a success, how often can you get an all you can eat spaghetti dinner for $6/person? And hang out w/other girl scouts & their families, all the while, supporting your RB Area. We currently have 411 girls registered, even if only ? of those girls only sell one ticket to either a mom/dad or sibling, we are looking at 410 tickets. We have heard what you all would like to see in the future w/the support of the RB Area (patches, events, buses, etc) to be available at little or no cost & so Melinda, along with the Service Team, came up with the idea to do a spaghetti dinner in hopes to raise the much needed money our area needs in order to provide discounted/free opportunities for troops in our area.

New cookie dates riverbendgs@yahoo.com — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:27:00 GMT Ok leaders - thanks for being patient, here is the new delivery times. * New delivery date for cookies is Fri Mar 12^th from 3-6pm. Please go into ebudde & set your time for delivery. Please have this done by Mon Mar 1^st, after that, you will get a time assigned to you. Location to pick up cookies is Carpets Plus, 1230 Post Rd, Plover. Once everyone has entered their time into ebudde, I will be sending an email out w/all the times listed as a reminder & map as to where to drive in & out of to make this delivery the most efficient. * I need help - I will take as much help as I can get during the 3-6pm time. You would be at one of the doors located off of the semi & all you need to do is verify count. There should be no lifting involved. You do not have to stay the entire 3 hours; I will take whatever time you can stay for. (I will even take husbands, but I'm not keeping them - one is enough J) If you are interested in helping me, please contact me via email & let me know & plan your delivery time in ebudde accordingly. Below is the new schedule for when things are due. I will be discussing cookie cupboard & making your troop payment for the initial cookie sale in a future email. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks Shawn
