28 november November 20 and 27 MeetingsMy apologies for not posting last week's meeting notes.
Meeting - November 20: All members present. Political discussion continued, at times heatedly. A fierce debate was staged between our two "parties", the WOW (Women of the World) and the PORNGE (Pink and Orange ... ???). The WOW being the more conservative and the PORNGE being the more liberal. Both sides argued current issues based on their own personal belief systems and values. Both sides argued their points very well. In the end, the PORNGE party won the election, but I feel that if we had more voters, the outcome may have been different. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Also discussed was the upcoming Giving Tree project. We have secured 6 tags from the Giving Tree in a wide range of ages. Princess happens to work for a large retail department store and has offered to spend her lag time on a Saturday in December to do the shopping. I believe that Boomba and BooBoo Kitty will be joining her.
Cookie orders were briefly mentioned, with an emphasis on permission slips, timing, and rules.
Meeting - November 27: All members present. Cookie orders are due. As usual, all were not handed in. I am still in need of paperwork from Princess and Boomba. This delays my own work when I have done everything in my power to make sure that the timetable is clear and workable. Time management is a life skill. Make notes, use post-its, remind each other, whatever you have to do to get things done on time, do them. Bosses will be much harsher about this than I am, and you will get no second chances to get it right.
Discussion then turned to the Giving Tree project. We have agreed on and listed types of items to look for and a budget. Troop funds were advanced to Princess to get the shopping done. The finance report was updated to reflect the expenditure.
The meeting ended with discussion of a Christmas party on Dec. 18th. We each chose a dish to bring and the group settled on an art project that will result in a Christmas tree decoration for the table. Supplies were listed and divvied up to be brought in for the project.
Until Next Week,
Mrs. B 14 november November 13 MeetingOur meeting commenced with all members present and Mrs. M (assistant leader) missing. Pugnatious left early to keep an appointment with her chosen college for next year.
For the first time since we started meeting where we are now, the girls changed their seats. Progress? We'll see.
Princess led the group in political discussion as per the agenda agreed upon earlier in the year. We explored process, parties, policy, and campaigning tactics. Qualities of the "perfect" leader were discussed. A comparison between variables, like whether it would be better to have a benevolent dictator or a not-so-great president, were also mulled over. Afterward, we made campaign posters that included the leadership qualities, made a statement, and utilized ethical tactics to persuade voters. The posters are hanging on the wall until month's end.
Next week's agenda will feature debating.
Cookie paperwork was picked up last night and distributed (hopefully) today. Cookie sales officially began last week Friday, so we will begin selling immediately. Permission slips MUST be handed in by next Monday. Good Luck.
Until Next Week,
Mrs. B 01 november October 30 MeetingThere was virtually no meeting tonight as only Pugnatious and Bug (and Lil Sis) were in attendance. Rumor is that next week's meeting coincides with a dance, so we'll probably have the same outcome. Meeting for November 6th has been cancelled due to lack of interest. We adjourned after 30 minutes of Candyland.
Until ???
