Hey everyone,
I'm setting up an activity for the girls to complete the pottery badge. It will involve having a professional potter come in and teach the girls. They will get to make a piece of pottery, glaze it, and then have it fired. She suggested that they could make traditional bowls, to correspond with their study of indigenous people at schooo. I think this experience is worthwhile, and will be popular.
My only hesitation is that the class costs $20/session/girl. We will pay for one session out of our dues money. But, I'd thought having two sessions would be beneficial, since our girls sometimes have a hard time completing something that complex in one session.
I wonder if anyone has comments on the following -
Should we a) do one session, for $20/girl, or b) do two sessions for $40/girl. At the two session rate we'd be spending all of our dues money, so we'd probably want to ask for additional funds. There may be an option c) do one session but expand our ending time for that meeting to 6pm.
Any commentary, suggestions, etc, are welcome.

Weekly meeting snacks
Hey guys,
Our new arrangement with snacks is working out awesomely. It is really nice for Martha and I to know that they girls will have a snack, plus, the snack-bringer has generally been excited to be in charge of snacks and the girls have really liked the options.
Now that I have most of our forms in, I can re-affirm that we don't have any major allergies in our group, but we do have a number of vegetarians.

Bug Badge
Our first troop outing was a success. The Bug Badge activity at the zoo was well organized, and most of our girls could attend. The activities were fairly basic, but did cover things in a more organized fashion than we had when we explored bugs last spring.
The day was incredible, though, and having the girls all digging around in the mud and wandering around the zoo was worth every penny.
*Girls who attended will receive their badge from the troop, at some point when we get to the store to pick them up. Girls who were unable to attend can complete the badge on their own, if they wish. This one is pretty doable with some time outside and some reference books.
