QSP magazine orders due!
It's that time of year again. QSP magazine orders are due to Bev Buckley by Oct 27 at the latest. In the giant white envelope that was handed out back in September, you need to return to Bev all the magazine order forms, the "Troop Report" form (with a summary of all the orders, prizes, money due), and one check from your troop for the total order (minus 20%) made out to "Waltham Service Unit." This year, we are able to input our troop's information directly into a database, which you can access here: http://gsorders.ashdonfarms.com/ Once you get there, you will need to log in. Please contact either Mary Ellen Smith (mersmith62@hotmail.com) or Kase Wilson at the Council office (617-482-1078 x. 206) for more information on logging in and to make sure your troop is listed in the Waltham SU database. Sunday, June 3 New GSC for 2007-2008 Holly Santangelo, our Girl Scout Coordinator (GSC) for the past 5 years (and for the past two years co-GSC with Peg Juppe), announced at our Leaders Dinner last week that we will have a new GSC for next year -- Elizabeth Bowling from Troop 1815. Thanks, Elizabeth, for volunteering! And thank you, Holly, for all your years of hard work helping to run our Service Unit! Thursday, June 7 News from Year End Leaders' Dinner We had a great time at our year end Leaders Dinner at the Piccadilly Pub on Thursday, May 31. Here are the highlights: *Holly Santangelo announced that Elizabeth Bowling will be our new GSC and Peg Juppe will work with her this year as co-GSC. *We gave Holly a gift certificate to Russo's for being our GSC for the past 5 years. *Bev Buckley will continue as our QSP chairwoman next year. Bev will also be our co-treasurer next year, along with Peg Juppe. *Mary Ellen Smith will continue as the Service Unit's secretary. *Andrea Baron is looking to train a new Town Cookie Chairperson for next year. *Andrea Baron received a 10-yr pin (for 10 years of being in Girl Scouts as both a girl and a leader). Andrea also received a green leaf for completing 10 hrs of training this year. (The leaves go on your Owl pin. You get a green leaf for every 10 hrs of training. Once you complete 50 hrs, you turn in your green leaves for a silver leaf.) *Tammy Graham received her Owl pin for completing Orientation, Basic Leadership, and Brownie Leader training.

Monday, July 2 Brownies Bear Gifts at Children's Hospital in Waltham Troop 1850 recently donated bears that they made at Build-a-Bear to the radiology department at Children's Hospital in Waltham. What a wonderful service project and a great use of some of the troop's cookie money! Hospital emergency departments are also a great place to donate bears.

Just show up! The local veterans from Waltham will be there with plenty of flags. It usually takes about an hour to get all the flags out.
