the_rckThe Girl Scout meeting started at 1:00. There were ten girls there. We talked about cookie sales. None of us were entirely clear about what the next step is. Supposedly the girls can keep taking orders, but we have no information as to how those will be filled or what we're supposed to do with them. The girls did agree that they would like to do a cookie booth. They had a few ideas as to where we might do one. It's not clear, though, how much initiative we have to show to get things going. The Council might set up the location and just assign us a day, or we might have to do all of that ourselves. We don't know.
We spent a while talking about things the girls would like to do. Some, like a trip to Hong Kong, are probably beyond what we can realistically do. A trip to Chicago, though, might be possible, and we can certainly afford a weekend camping trip, especially if the girls are willing to sleep on the ground in tents.
After all of the business, we let the girls out on the playground to run around. One of the leaders had half a dozen sleds and a pair of snowshoes. The girls took turns with all of that. I was outside for a little while but ended up going inside to direct parents to the playground when they came to pick up their daughters.
The community center where we meet has big bookshelves along one wall. Most of the books are aimed at elementary school kids. There's no sign or anything to explain what the books are for. The shelf might be an exchange. It might be a lending library. It might be something else entirely. I'm wondering because I saw a couple of books that interested me, books that the library doesn't have. I did, while I waited, read one very short book, Ursula LeGuin's Catwings.
