Welcome Back!
We're looking forward to an exciting year of Girl Scouts.
Thank you to each
and every volunteer, whether this is your first year or your 31st
year of Girl Scouting. 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.

Horseback Riding
