Next Meeting Monday, February 4
(This is a repeat from the January 14 newsletter but a few new ones added to bullet #2)

This will be a meeting to discuss many things and possibly have time for an activity.

Ø      For those doing (or thinking of doing) a presentation for “Let’s Go Expo” on March 2 should bring there display or be able to tell us what they plan. For those that are still in the planning stage they can use the troop to get ideas or help. (The article on Let’s Go Expo is repeated below.)

Ø      Go over many activities available for the spring so the troop can register for activities that will appeal to the majority of the troop members. Some that are available, but we are not limited to:

o       Caving (Digging Thru the Past IP)

o       Golf Lessons

o       Core Camp at Coles Trip (some activities are boating or a nature photography workshop)

o       Kayaking 

o       Adopt a Refuge in conjunction with the Fairfax Audubon Society and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (dates in March, April or May)

o       Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus at the Patriot Center April 12 or 19

Let’s Go Expo

Vienna Presbyterian Church, Saturday, March 2, 1 - 4pm.  No cost. Have fun, give service, and earn the Travel IP.  Vendors will be on hand to display/explain the latest in suitcase and backpack travel. Corporate sponsors will display navigation and safety wares. "Exercises" will be structured around packing efficiently and appropriately (I smell a "survivor" game here!) Troop/Girl/Adult leader displays and talks are planned for the World Centers (Cabana-Katherine), Savannah (Corianne?), WDW, NYC, cruise, etc. And much more. Let's Go Expo service.  If you make one of the 20 minute presentations, it will count as service.  Needs to be in "Show and Tell" format. No problem having repeat presentations. 

Cookies 2002

You can continue to take orders but they will probably be delivered after the initial order.

Cookie Booths

Mrs. Tatge has again agreed to be the coordinator. She will be signing up for booths within our service unit on February 19 but she did get one for Sunday, March 3 from 4 – 6 at the Sports Authority (near Costco). Look at your calendars and see if this works for you.

Teen Labor Day – March 23

Amy, Alex, Corianne, and Mallary expressed interest. At the February meeting we will see if there is still interest as we need to register immediately. Look at your calendars and the October TTG.

Thinking Day

SU 56-1 is having their Thinking Day February 22 from 6 – 9:30 pm. Senior Troop 40 is hosting the event so there is no need for assistance at the event. The event will feature Thinking Day Bingo and troops will be bringing international basket which will be used as prizes. We will discuss this at our February 3 meeting.
