Elmwood Girl Scouts Spaghetti Dinner

Elmwood Girl Scouts
Spaghetti Dinner and Awards Presentations
May 7th, 2007
Elmwood Auditorium
The end of the Girl's year came, and they put together a spaghetti dinner and presentation to the parents and friends of the Girls' There was a total of 18 girls involved this year, and all attended the awards and dinner. The attendance for the dinner was upwards of 60-75 people, along with the scouts.
The program started with the Scouts entering the Auditorium up the stairs and marching into the room, until they reached the American flag hanging on the southern wall of the auditorium.
After they all chanted the pledge of allegiance and also their pledge to the scouts, they had a short program involving some very energized songs, that took more energy than this writer could give.
The dinner was then started, and everyone enjoyed the meal and desserts that where made.
When most of the meals where done being ate, the Scouts Leader Belinda Schroeder then began the awards part of the program. She gave a short speech about the years activities, and asked for some volunteers for next years programs. They also are in need of help with vehicle transportation for these girls to the camp activities they have for next year. She also announced a possible UFO Days event that could assist the funding for the Girls, in some of their program needs as well.
The awards where then given out to each girl, with a round of applause to each. After this was completed, the program was done, and most started leaving, after returning their chairs to the roller storage units. A few people stayed and assisted in returning the tables as well. All in all, the program lasted just about 2 hours, and it looked to be, that everyone that attended had a good time.
Anyone that is interested in volunteering to assist the Girl Scout Group can contact the Village offices or Leader Belinda Schroeder to give your assistance.
Congratulations to all the Girl's in completing another year, and earning a bunch of new badges !!
