Pearls of Wisdom 
Quick Tips on Celebrating World Thinking Day
Try these when planning your activities:
- Try foods from around the world.
- Learn a traditional song or greeting from another country.
- Host a multi-cultural potluck: each girl is assigned a county and they make a dish from that country.
- Find a GS troop in another country and become pen pals.
*From Wichita Area Volunteers: Sandy Means, Heather Manganiello, and Melissa Losey
In 1914, Juliette Gordon Low sold her pearls to fund the cost of expanding the Girl Scout movement across the United States. It is a symbol of personal sacrifice and sharing. Do you have your own pearls of wisdom to share? Send them to Holly Slawkowski

Cookie Order Tips for Cookie Managers
Initial Orders Due In SNAP by Midnight!
Troop Cookie Managers need to enter their troop's initial cookie order on SNAP by Tuesday, February 7 at midnight. For instructions on how to enter the orders, please refer to the SNAP Guide.
After entering and double-checking the orders, click "commit" on the order screen. Once you have clicked "commit" you will not be able to make changes, so be sure to only click "save" until you are certain that you have entered all the orders correctly. If you mistakenly click "commit" and need to make a change, please contact the Product Sales staff to assist you.
If you receive a late order from a Girl Scout after February 7, please notify the Product Sales staff. Arrangements will need to be made to pick up late orders at a Cookie Cupboard Location.
