REVIEW

--Halloween Park and Rec Rag-Shag Event – Girls and leaders from grades 6, 7, and 9 helped Sunday at the event.

REPORTS

--SU Tools Team (Ruth, Amanda, Barbara, Mara, Amanda, Emily) -- hasn’t been able to meet. We’ll try again.

--Camping Committee. There is some interest in Spring Camping. It would be good if the committee can report its ideas at the January meeting.

--Court of Awards (Laura, Jean) – 6/3/17? (Hopkins Grad wknd) We’ll be looking for other members & specific input in January. We shared some early ideas of dates and places to consider: -- Hopkins Gym? H.Elem.Sch?, Look park? 6/10 at Hopkins? Friday night? 6:30?

--Calendar (notes for Ruth). The google calendar works well for some folks, and others aren’t interested in the google calendar. For the “paper-calendar people” a monthly “pdf” printout of the calendar was requested. Can ruth do that for us? (and note – evidently the colors come out differently on each person’s computer – so Ruth shouldn’t worry about that.)

PLANNING

--First Aid & CPR – Pliska – 11/6 and 11/16 – agreed that the SU will pay for the older girls who attend.

--Caroling 11/18 at M.Club all set. Golden Court caroling will be sometime the week before Christmas (12/16-24), depending on the weather.

--Derby – Boy Scouts have said Girls will have separate event. Still looking for exact date and times. 3/17? Troops expecting to participate include: Gr. 2, 3, 4, 5, ?6.

--Winter Events – no new news.

SUPERTROOP -- (8:15pm) (Gr 6-12)

--10/29 – Park & Rec Rag Shag Event -- Review. Event needs were different this year. Communication wasn’t easy.
