[quote=Anonymous]13:03 again. i could go on all day here. lol! I just wanted to share with you one of my best ideas as a leader. each month I designated a girl to be our "caring and sharing coordinator". She would come up with a service project and coordinate it with the girls. I just asked that they choose something that will not require money from their parents and they needed to let me know how much meeting time they would need, or if they needed it to be one of our monthly field trips. some examples - one girl printed out 10 no texting while driving pledges for each girl. The girls were to have all 10 signed by teens and adults and then returned them at the next meeting. Another girl had us help at a bingo night benefiting an animal shelter. We also made cards for the children's hospital, and rounded up all our extra pencils for The Pencil Project. this concept went over very well. It gave each girl/family an opportunity to share and work for a cause that's near and dear to their heart. the first yer, I did not ask them to come up with ideas that did not required their parents' money. They did stuff like care packages for soldiers, adopt a family at Christmas, food drive. All wonderful causes, but you can imagine that it got to be too much for some parents. [/quote]
