IMPORTANT INFO for 1st Meeting

We are so excited about our first meeting on Monday, September 12!

Here are some details that will help you to know what is happening. ****Please be aware that you may sign your girls in as early as 4:25 and pick up at 5:55.****


NEW REGISTRATIONS:
  • Enter the building at the main entrance under the awning.  Turn right and head down the hallway.  Through the first set of double doors -in the stairwell area- there will be a registration table set up. At this table, you will find Kiersten Jung, Amy Haney, and Debbie Poff.  They will be ready to take your paperwork and monies due (in check form, no cash please). This is where ALL families who need to register MUST stop.

PRE-REGISTERED:
  • Enter the building at the main entrance under the awning.  Turn right and head down the hallway.  Through the second set of double doors ON THE LEFT (the ones on the right enter into Fellowship Hall) there will be a sign in table set up. Each unit will be clearly marked. Karen Speed and Connie Carr will be at this table to assist parents in signing in their children. There will also be one leader from each unit at this table who will escort your children to our meeting room. The other leader(s) will be waiting in the main meeting room to welcome your children.

OPENING MEETING:
  • The Troop meetings will be held in the Higher Ground (HG) room this year. It is located thru the double doors that are to the left of Fellowship Hall double doors.
  • When we have the call to order song, all the leaders at the sign in table will bring any remaining girls down to the HG room and the doors will be closed. The reality is that I expect to start with the song and flag ceremony at 4:35, since drop off is 4:25-4:30.
  • Any girls arriving late will stay at the sign in table and escort them to their rooms when the units are dismissed.

CLOSING MEETING:
  • At 5:55, all units are expected to be in HG for closing flags and dismissal.
  • Parents will be directed to HG, our main meeting room, where they will sign their girls out. We are asking that once girls are signed out, that they are taken out of the room as quickly as possible. Please have conversations with other parents outside the meeting room. Clearly, if you need to talk to a leader, this is a fine time to do it. We are just asking that it not be long and protracted conversations.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
  • If you need to talk with Cynthia or Karen, we are available to parents once the girls are in their units, from 4:40-5:50. We are happy to address any questions at this time.
  • We would like to hold a brief parent meeting at the second meeting in September (9/26). Many of our parents were not able to make it to the Ice Cream Social in August and may still have questions. During this meeting, we will go over the troop calendar and some other important points. Since we do not have parents available for announcements, we need this time for some important information that parents need.

Thank you all for sharing your girls with us! The leadership team is so excited for all that is planned this AHG year. We hope to make it a smooth, wonderful, and fun-filled year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at dctann5@gmail.com

Blessings,
