| Attendance |  Please remember to call (949-492-7320) and let us know that your child is going to be absent. If they are out for more than one day, you only need to call the first day to let us know. We really do appreciate your help making sure that all children are accounted for and to know if there is an illness we need to be aware of. |
| Yellow Folders ... |  In order to ensure that every child receives important information that is sent home in their yellow envelope, THEY NEED to have an envelope!!

5,000 boxes of cookies!!! | |
 Our OLF Brownie Troop has a chance of a radio station buying 5,000 boxes of cookies from us. It all depends on the amount of votes our troop receives. This opportunity was only open to Los Angeles County Girl Scouts until last week.
104.3 MYfm opened up the contest to OC Girl Scouts last week. If our troop receives the most public votes, we could get an additional $3,500 for our troop. With the over 2,000 boxes we've already sold with a profit to our troop of $1,400, an additional $3,500 to our troop would be a huge BONUS. MYfm is going to buy $5,000 worth of Girl Scout Cookies from our troop if we win the contest.
THE DETAILS: It's all via Facebook (I know you all are Facebookers) It's simple: Send out an e-mail to everyone in your address book with the link below. ONLINE VOTING: Beginning Tuesday, March 8, 2010 at 6:00 a.m. PST, the public will be allowed to vote online from all the eligible entries by logging on to http://www.facebook.com/1043MYfmLA. Deadline to vote is 10:00 a.m. PST on March 17, 2011. Once they get to the link, click on Enter Sweepstakes. Enter required info and scroll down to select Troop 1106. Ask them to VOTE FOR TROOP 1106 ONCE A DAY beginning today, March 8th through March 17th. I think we can do this! Thanks, Caylin Wade
