Families, place your contribution to Girl Scouts Buckeye Trail Council in an envelope, marked with your Brownie’s full name and troop number and turn it into Amy by November 5.
There will be one lucky winner from all the Little Miami Girl Scouts who participate. All girls who return an envelope will have an equal chance in the drawing, regardless of the size of their donation.

Our first overnight is Thursday, November 15 (Teacher In-Service Day)
We’re staying at Camp WhipPoorWill in the Troop House at Mary Rollins Lodge. I will be assigning a food item to each girl at our upcoming meetings. Chaperones are Amy Toney, Renae Daku, Michelle Schooley, and Linda Whitley.

The next day, we'll take supplies to the Midwestern Children's Home in Pleasant Plain. Go to website: www.mid-western.org It's a Christian Home supported by members of the churches of Christ, industry, and friends, for the purpose of providing material needs, and spiritual guidance to children in need. Foster care and adoption programs serve children ages 0-18. The group home program serves children ages 6-18. The adoption program serves children of all ages, but primarily younger children. This program also serves unwed mothers considering an adoption plan.

Please have your daughter bring one or more of the following to our overnight for the children's home: toilet paper, paper towels, hand soaps, 60 watt light bulbs, grass and leaf rakes, snack foods, bottled juices, gift certificates from Kroger, Biggs, Meijer, or Walmart for Milk. The average Mid-Western household goes through approximately 50 Gallons of milk per month.

Thanks to Renae Daku and Deborah Osborne for stepping up to be back up co-leaders. Renae and Deborah are pursuing the formal training required to be official co-leaders and they will be backing me up with the responsibility of leading field trips and overnights. We will be rotating parent helpers at all field trips and overnights so that everyone will have the opportunity to participate.
