Elaine Cresson, assistant treasurer.
Oct. 22nd and Oct 29th, the troop
chose to paint faces on real pump
kins to use on their porches for
Halloween and to make place cards
for the Girl Scout Association meet
ing. They printed the Brownie
Promise on these cards. Nov 9Th at
the birthday party the Brownies
received their two year pins and
welcomed Sharon Warren into their
troop and Marjorie Wheatley as
Their Girl Scout assistant leader.
Mrs. wilkins and the committees
have planned an exciting month for
December relating to Christmas
gifts.
On November 9Th, Adults of Mil
ford interested in Girl Scouting
met together at the New Century
Club and voted to become known
as the Neighborhood Association
and thus an organized and recog-
nized group of the national plan
of Girl Scouting. Following the
opening service, eighteen adult
Girl Scouts were invested with
their pins by Mrs. Charles Lund-
stedt and Mrs. Eurie Savage.
A nomination was made, seconded
and favored unanimously that Mrs.
Charles Lundstedt become the
NeighborhOOd Chairman of the or
ganization. To work with Mrs.
Lundstedt and complete the Board
of the NeighbOrhood Association,
the following appointments were
made and accepted: Troop Organ
izer, Mrs. Frank Lynch; Troop
Consultants, Mrs. Parker Hitch,
Mrs. Finley Jones and Mrs. Roy La
fOntaine. This group of officers will
unite all Girl Scout troops in Mil
ford and they are the contact be-
tween the troops, the District
Chairman and the Council Board.
Mrs. Charles Appel accepted the
position of chairman for the local
cookie sale which is to be held
during a week in February. This
event is the one big council fund
raising activity the girls partici-
pate in during the year A share
profits of their sales is allowed to
be kept in their troop treasury.
Therefore, generous support is al
ways asked for from the friends of
Girl Scouting.
The Annual Christmas parties for
the Brownies and Girl Scouts will
again be held on separate days.
Mrs. Claude Lynch and Mrs. Roy
Lafontaine will be chairmen of
the Brownie Group, and Mrs. Cor
don Kicker, Mrs. John Howell and
Mrs. Bernard Frankel will be chair
nen of the Girl Scout group. All
leaders, their assistants and COM
mittee members of the troops will
work with these chairmen.
1t was the unanimous decision of |
all present to have family night |
during the spring to replace the
MOther-Daughter evening.
The need to keep the public a.
ware of activities of all local troops |
is a normal one and the Milford |
Chronicle has accepted the idea that |
there will be a weekly Girl Scout
News column. If every troop would
make a weekly contribution to-
wards this column, Girl Scouting
could create a weekly curiosity
towards their activities. 1t is there
fore, suggested that the scribe of
every troop write up report on its
weekly meeting, sign it and send
it to Mrs Roy LafOntaine, who will
arrange it into one column.
During the evening, certificates
for these who participated in the
Basic Leaders Training course were
presented by Miss IliOne Schadt
through Mrs. Charles Ilundstedt
At the close of the meeting, Mrs.
Frank Lynch gave an Informative
report on the community service
practiced by Troop No. 33. They
have made friends with a shut-in
patient and it is their pleasure to
visit her and run any errand neces-
Sary.
