Nice meeting last night! A couple of notes:
(On-going) Girl Led Efforts
I’ll be working on setting up a joint signer with the checking account so we can rotate girls through an official treasurer position. Slate this to start after this year end financial report is filed, term will be one year and Kirsten will be the first to fill the position.
I’m setting up this blog to ease with communications. Girls will need to be responsible going forward for updating and maintaining it.
(7/18-7/22) Chicago trip notes:
– We’ll be staying at the Hampton Inn Majestic on West Monroe, Lesli will handle reservations
– Itinerary for the day events has been set (separate trip page to be created)
– Girls each have an assignment to determine transportation for a destination
- Karen Airport -> Hotel
- Kirby Hotel -> Aquarium, Field Museum, Planetarium (all are in the same area)
- Kirsten Hotel -> Museum of Science and Industry
- Katelynne Hotel -> Grandparents house
– Girls should start researching restaurants, breakfast is covered at the hotel
– A few evening events were discussed, girls should research theater offerings for discussion
- Dish from another country – Katelynne
- Dish from another US region – Karen
- Dish from another time period – Kirsten
- Dish that makes a statement – Kirby

CTA directions from O'Hare International Airport
Leave O'Hare International Airport on the Blue Line "El Train." The train only goes one direction from O'Hare International Airport toward downtown Chicago.
Exit at the Monroe stop and walk up the stairs. The Hampton Inn Majestic is located east of the train stop at 22 West Monroe above the Bank of America Theatre.
Laura,
Could I get a new permission form that states $850 instead of $750 for the cost of the trip? I can pick it up when we drop off or pick up Karen at the cooking badge / dinner on the 26th.
Is this trip in the 2012/2013 “Program Year”, it’s typed that way on the permission form?
Thanks,
Kim
Hi Kim,
Whoops! sorry about that. The cost to the girls is $0, troop is covering an alotment of $850 per girl – sorry for not getting that correct. The girls have an open question about spending money, I have some inquiries to make before a recommendation can be made on that.
I apologize for the program year confusion. Part of the expenses will be on the 2011-2012 financial report and the remainder will be on the 2012-2013 report but given that girls registration runs until the fall, I believe you are correct the that the official year date is 2011-2012.
Thanks for catching these errors! Please let me know if you see anything else you would like corrected.
I’ll be sending you a new pdf shortly that you (and everyone else can print out and sign).
Laura
