Meeting Happenings- AN ICELANDIC SISTER TROOP!!! by Selina

January 10, 2014
Hallo Hallo!!
Havo segrou gott?
This is Selina, and here's an update!

So Friday's meeting plans were thrown off a bit because of the photos (see Lizzy's post below), but in the end I think we still made good use of time!

Food
Of course we wouldn't skip dinner!!
Scrumcilicious baked potatoes and chili with sides of salad and some good old southern cornbread, all completely homemade by Mrs. Susan herself! We were famished by the time we got to eat (which was 7), so the stuff disappeared pretty quickly. For dessert we had vanilla ice cream with peach and pumpkin custard! Mhmhmmhmm!!

Meeting

Cookie sales: Yes, it is that time of year again. Girl Scout cookie sale - a big fundraiser nationally for the Girl Scouts.  Well, we discussed a bit about cookie booths, which we will be setting up at the local Krogers around here soon. We are officially beginning sales, so if you like cookies and would like to support Girl Scouts in general please do buy a box! If you don't really care for the cookies all that much or would like to support our troop and help us on our goal to get to Europe, please give a donation!

The Surprise!: Boy! Two meetings with big surprises in a row! Well, if I could have a fictitious drum-roll:

(Dramatic pause)

 WE HAVE AN ICELANDIC SISTER TROOP !!

This is so exciting!!! There is a troop in Reykjavik, Iceland that is willing to email back and forth with us, answering questions and giving advice what to do there and helping us understand lots of about Icelandic life!  The troop has 16-year-old girls and a boy, and they also work on a search and rescue team!  We can't wait to start emailing them and getting to know them better!  And then we will get to spend time with them while we are in Iceland!!!

We now have contacts from Iceland, England, and Port Angeles,Washington (This was from our last trip. To view our adventures there, please click on the "Seattle Blog" tab on the upper bar).

We ran out of time after we freaked out over the news! We will have an update on sponsorships and England and Iceland Team on the next post, as well as some new Icelandic words! (Hopefully we can get some tips on our pronunciation from the Icelandic Troop while we are there)!!

That's all for this week!

New posts are coming up soon!

Takk fyrir en Bless Bless!!!!
