Each and everyone of you is making a difference in a girl's life. We appreciate your attending the meetings, participating in service unit events, and helping plan and leading events for all Bloomington girl scouts.

All meetings are currently scheduled for 7 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church on the second Monday of the month.

Notes of Interest

Another Way to Support Girl Scouts... Go Shopping!
   That's right, go head and buy something -- a new CD, the latest bestseller, essentials like toothpaste or vitamins, even a computer. But first join www.iGive.com. Every time you shop at one of the over 500 name-brand stores in the Mall at iGive.com (like Amazon, JC Penney, Land's End and many more), the Girl Scout Council will receive a donation of up to 26% of each purchase you make, at no cost to you.
    Remember, donating to Girl Scouts won't cost you a thing through this method. But we'll miss out on extra money to help Girls Grow Strong if you don't join. So visit iGive.com now. Membership is free and your privacy is guaranteed.

Earn Money for Council Every Time You Surf the Internet
   Instead of using Google for your internet searches, use GoodSearch.com. Be sure to enter Girls Scouts - Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys in the "who do you goodsearch for" box. Each time you use this for an internet search, money is donated. Spread the word!

Horseback Riding
Council-approved stables include Bunker Park Stables in Coon Rapids -- 763-757-9445. Remember to contact the council in advance and reserve the headgear required per SafetyWise. The council is always looking for stables to add to their list! To make a recommendation or reserve your horseback riding equipment, contact Emily Burck at 763-535-4602 or emily.burck@girlscoutsrv.org.

 


VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Many hands make light work! Our goal this year is to recruit one adult from each troop to fulfill a task in the Nine Mile Service Unit. Most jobs require 2-3 hours of service at a particular point in the year.

Please work as a troop to help us meet this goal!
