Happy New Year and MLK Service Project Reminder

Hey Troop!

Happy 2013! It is going to be a great year!

In addition to cookie sales starting in January we will be doing our 2nd troop service project. (The first was the books and cards for the Methodist Children's Home). I am really proud of the helpful spirit of our little Dasies.

MLK Service Project Sandwich Making

Date: Monday, January 21, 2013
Time: 9:00 – 10:30am
Location: St. Thomas More – Mulhern Hall
Address:   636 W. Ponce De Leon Ave. , Decatur

The girls will make sandwiches, assemble lunches and decorate lunch bags in mixed-age groupings at tables.  If we are able to finish early, there is space in the hall for troops to gather and/or a playground by the building.

Enter the STM parking lot off Trinity Street.  Facing the main entrance to the school building, the door to Mulhern Hall is to the left (it is the building on the left closest to Trinity Street ).  The parking lot and circular drive are convenient for drop-offs.

We will be bringing the following items. Fixings for 30 sandwiches - There is a link to a sign up sheet HERE so we make sure everything is covered.

- Whole wheat or healthy bread (avg. 20 slices per loaf, so approx. 3-4 loaves)
- Sliced sandwich meat and sliced cheese (no ham, please) for 30 sandwiches. Please don't bring tuna or chicken salad, as it's too messy and we won't have knives!
- 30 pieces of whole fruit (apples, bananas, oranges)
- If any troops that would like to contribute individually bagged cookies or brownies, that would be very helpful.  We will use them in our lunches and also for general MLK volunteer snacks.
- Also - If you have any stickers, stamps, markers or other fun items we could use to decorate bags please sign up to bring those as well.



I am coordinating the event so Anna will be in charge of the troop and will need a few parents to help her so please let her know if you will be staying for the event.

Thanks! Chrissy Weeks
