Events: Pack Troop to Troop Cookies, Finalize Photography Badge, and Bridging
Meeting time: 3:00pm - 5:00pm for all groups/ages
Please wear your VEST/SASH since we will have a bridging ceremony.
Girls should bring their "yearbook spread/page layout" design, 2 handwritten cards (for soldiers), and a snack to share with everyone (girl made). This is part of the photography patch we've been working on. For those who missed the meeting on May 6 we had a visitor from Timberview HS come over and explain how a yearbook is produced. Each girl was to create a yearbook spread/page layout using the photos they took weeks before (when our professional photographer came and gave the girls tips). If the girls do not have those photos, they can take new ones and use those.
