Tuesday GLAM Night

I just called CiCi's to check prices and alert them that a group would be coming. They are offering us special prices:

Anyone over 10 --> $5 (regularly $5.49)
Anyone under 10 --> $2.99 (which is the regular price but.....)

Free drinks for everyone!

Hope this helps you guys plan for costs.....

Also - the Troop is covering the cost of the Piedmont Environmental Center, so there is no cost to girls.

Chick-fil-a Spirit Night

Our first Chick-fil-a Spirit Night fundraiser is scheduled for Monday, October 29 at the N. Main location.

We will be covering the hours from 5-8pm.

We will have 3 Chick-fil-a nights this year - October, January, and March. There are 2 shifts available each night (5-6:30 and 6:30-8:00). We are requiring each girl to cover 2 shifts this year (out of 6 total choices). In accordance with the fundraiser buyout plan, if you choose not to participate in this fundraiser, the buyout is $15.

We really need at least 6 girls per time slot.

As an added incentive, if your daughter(s) cover more than the 2 required shifts, we will allow her to earn service hours for the time above and beyond the requirement, at 1/2 time. So if she covers 1 extra shift of an hour and a half, she would earn 45 minutes service time.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

So - at this point, we need to go ahead and line up our "workers" for the 29th. Please let me know if your daughter is available and which shift she would like to work (5-6:30 or 6:30-8:00).

Thanks!

GLAM Night - October 16

Hi AHG Famlies!

We are very excited to announce that our next GLAM night, October 16th, will be held at the Piedmont Environmental Center. Please make a special note of the time of this event which is from 4:00 - 6:00. Girls should be brought directly to the PEC; we will not meet at Community Bible Church. During this troop-wide event, we will be earning portions of our Nature and Wildlife badge. Because our group is large, we will split into two groups. From 4:00 - 5:00 the Pathfinders and Tenderhearts will have their classroom portion and then from 5:00 - 6:00 will complete a short hike around PEC. The Explorers and Pioneers will first start with their hike from 4:00 - 5:00 and finish with the classroom portion from 5:00 - 6:00. Please make sure your girl wears appropriate shoes and brings a coat if needed.

After our time at the Piedmont Environmental Center, those that want will head over to the CiCis at the Palladium to have dinner and more fellowship. Families are welcome! Our meeting will officially end at 6 at PEC, so we ask that all parents pick-up their children at that time and then make their way to CiCi's if they wish.

As a reminder, GLAM stands for Girls Living AHG's Mission. GLAM nights enable us to experience troop-wide activities which cultivates unity among the girls. We might participate in service projects, take field trips, or hear a special speaker for example which will coordinate with the badges the girls are working on. At our first GLAM night, we were able to have 30 minute instruction at the beginning of the event which earned many of the requirements associated with the skating pin. Your girl will need to go skating (any event, any time) four more times during the year and read a biography about a skater, and they will have earned this sports pin.

Please let us know if you have any conflicts with the hours of the event.
