Transferring badges, patches, & pins

Some of you have asked about transferring pins, patches, etc.  Here is the answer from Kathi at AHG:

Actually, activity patches and AHG badges and pins earned during one Level (Tenderheart, Explorer, etc.) are to remain on the uniform garment of the Level in which it was received/earned.  There are two main reasons for this:
1) A girl's Tenderheart vest, Explorer vest, Pioneer sash, etc. will always be an incredible memento of all that she accomplished and experienced during her years in each of those Levels.  "Oh!  I remember that campout!  Aw....the Sock hop Father/Daughter Dance....", and so forth.  Each uniform garment is a living snapshot of the fun that took place during those years.
2) When a girl 'levels up' with her friends, each one starts anew with a clean, empty vest or sash.  No one is ahead of anyone else.  The possibilities are limitless for each girl.

I hope this helps.  :)

Placemats & Drinks for Luncheon

In the past we have had the girls create/decorate "placemats" for the tables during the luncheon (thank you, Maria, for reminding us!).  Since we will not have any meetings before the lunch, would you please have your daughters make some at home and bring them to us?

They can be made simply using copy paper or construction paper.  Any design that represents AHG or springtime, etc is appropriate.

We will be at CBC setting up for the luncheon on Saturday, April 6 from 6:00-7:00pm.  We would appreciate it if you could drop off your placemats and drinks that night so we will be ready for lunch service to begin promptly on Sunday.

Remember:

Honeybees & Pioneers:  Lemonade

Tenderhearts:  Tea (1 gallon per girl please)

Explorers:  2 Liter sodas (1 per girl please)

Thank you for your help in this matter!

Slideshow

We are in need of someone to produce our end of the year picture slideshow.  If you are interested please let me know and we will start getting photos to you.

Thanks!

Important Reminders

If your daughter is doing their level award interview tomorrow night, please just be sure she has her vest - she can put it on over her tshirt.

3.  VERY IMPORTANT:  WE NEED ALL UNSOLD TICKETS AND MONEY FOR THE LUNCHEON!  Please turn all of that in tomorrow night.  Danielle and I will be inside collecting all of this.  We need to get an accurate plate count to Mr. Tim Carter asap.  So tomorrow night is the only/last night to turn in money and/or unsold tickets!

A Few Reminders

1.  If you would like to sell lunch tickets between services at CBC this Sunday or next Sunday, please let me know.

2.  Remember we have switched the 19th and the 26th....so girls will NOT meet this coming Tuesday but will on the 26th.

3.  Please let me know if you are able to help with Board of Review interviews for girls eligible for their level awards.  We need volunteers to help us with this.

4.  If you have not paid your Program Support Fee ($20), please do so asap.

5.  Do not forget our last Chick-fil-a Spirit Night on the 25th.  Tell your friends and family to come out and support AHG.  We do not profit from Spirit Night unless customers tell their cashier they are with AHG.  If your daughter needs to work a shift or two, please have her there on time and in uniform.  She will also need to sign in so we have a record of her working.

Board of Review Interviews

Girls that are eligible for their Level Awards (Tenderheart - Sacagawea, Explorer - Lewis & Clark, Pioneer - Harriet Tubman) are required to have a Board of Review interview.  This interview is a time for the girl member to share her experiences with a panel of adults.  It ensures that the girl member has met all the requirements for her level award, gives the AHG Troop Leadership Team an understanding of the girls' perspective on their AHG experience, and is used to encourage the girl member to progress further in AHG.

We are scheduling interviews for Sunday, March 24, starting at 4:30pm, finishing up no later than 7:00 (will depend on the exact number of girls eligible and available that day).  Interviews are scheduled every 15 minutes.

We would love to have some parents sit in and serve on the panel of interviewers.  If you are interested and available on the 24th for the entire time or just a portion, please let me know.

Thank you!

PS - if your daughter is eligible for her level award, I will be sending out a schedule so you can sign up for her interview time once I confirm all of the girls that are eligible.

Regular meeting - Tuesday, March 12

Just a reminder we have a regular meeting on Tuesday, March 12.
