And... We're Clear!

Girl Scouts Troop 1124 has sold it's last box of cookies. Sales officially ended on Sunday, and our troop raised $1210.55 for our girls (that is our profit, mind you, not the total amount sold). This has been AWESOME!
The girls hoped to earn enough money to go to Great America as a troop, so I'm sure we have that to look forward to. This money will cover materials for projects as the girls earn more badges and other expenses throughout the year. This is the only major fundraiser for the troops, so this is their "spending money" until next cookie season.

We have a number of upcoming events. The girls have a Father-Daughter dance this Friday. There are plans to participate in the Powder Puff Derby, which I'm excited about! They will learn CPR and First Aid. They are going to spend an afternoon in a mechanic's shop and learn how to change oil, check all fluid levels, change a tire, check air pressure, and whatever else comes up. They will spend time cooking and caring for pets and children. They will be making Easter baskets for The Sacramento Children's Hospital, as well. Of course, these are only the events I know about so far!

So, thank you for your support during the cookie drive and check in often to see what Annie is up to with her troop! This has been a very rewarding experience for all of us!
