Cookie Sale Wrap-up
Congratulations on a successful Girl Scout Cookie Sale!
 Here are a few tips to help you wrap-up and prepare for your Troop audit with your Service Unit Cookie Manager.
1) Send a reminder to any parents that still owe cookie sale money.
2) Additional Cookie Shares: Please enter additional cookie shares sold by girls as Reorders in SNAP.
3) Cookie Transfers: Remember to make "troop to girl" transfers in SNAP for the extra cookies from your initial order and cookies you picked up at a cookie cupboard.
4) Cookie Sale Finances: Please enter the payments the girls are giving you into SNAP as "new girl transactions."
5) Booth Sales: Complete the Booth Sales Report Form and turn it in at your audit or mail/fax/email to the Girl Scout Office.
6) Set up a time to audit: all audits need to be completed by March 18 with your Service Unit Manager or by March 22 with the Council Office. Please read page 10 in the Cookie Sale Troop Manager Guide to review the audit instructions.
7) Recognition Orders: Troops must enter and commit a recognition order in SNAP between March 13 and 22.

Spotlight on -
Bill Gonio, Youth Development Manager
Get to know your council support
 *A new feature to your Connect eNews. Once a month there will be an inside glance at someone around the council, helping you put some faces and stories with names!
Bill Gonio is the Youth Development Manager for Camp Starwoods near Clearwater.
The greatest thing about my job is... germinating & nurturing a sense of confidence and leadership in the girls that visit camp.
I believe Girl Scouts is a great organization because... we're inclusive and offer enough Pathway opportunities so that there's an activity for every personality.
When I'm not at camp, you can find me... with my daughter at a book store, coffee shop, or movie theater.
