BAKE SALE & New Upcoming Events

Thank you to all who donated baked goods, and helped to run our bake sale, this past Sunday. We sold all that we brought, and earned $65. The girls now have $92.12 in their checking account. This should be enough to get us through our meetings and pay for a few small outings. Thank you also to all of you who helped serve drinks at the breakfast.

The Walking Track and Park Committee was able to meet their matching grant goal! This is the committee that gives us money for our flowers we plant at the park. We have also been given a second flower bed! I am so proud of all of you for taking care of our flowers this summer. Every time I see them blooming so pretty, I know you all have been doing your part!

The Legion will be having a meeting sometimes this week. They will be discussing putting us on the Pancake Breakfast schedule for January. They are hosting a banquet for the National Legion Post Master, on Monday, November 7 from 5-8:30. The Frontier Girls were asked to serve drinks at this event. This is an honor, and I hope that all of you can come and help out. The hours will count towards your Servants Heart Award. They were also excited to learn that we are forming a Flag Corp. They are willing to help us, and to allow us to help them at flag events in the community.

Flag Corp practice will begin Tuesday, Nov. 8. And will continue to be the first Tuesday of the month, after school until 4pm. Please note this is a change from the newsletter that was sent home last week.

We have also planned a Campfire Jamboree for Saturday, November 12, from 4-8pm at the Mozingo Lake tent camping sites. A couple of local Boy Scouts will be leading the girls in earning the Fire Safety badge, and we will also earn the Outdoor Cooking badge, and learn some great Frontier Girl Songs!

I have also been discussing the t-shirts and uniforms with several moms. It has been proposed that we have professional screened t-shirts made from my template, and then order the vests in January after the pancake breakfast. I have price checked from a place in Bethany, that will charge $9 per shirt including the price of the shirt. I will also check with The Student Body in Maryville. So if you have not ordered your uniforms, you may hold off until further notice.
