OUR PART IN INTERNATIONAL DAY MARCH 24TH

 

INTERNATIONAL DAY - MARCH 24TH AT

THE FAIR GROUNDS.....

As you may know, this is the 100th year anniversary/birthday of Girl Scouts and we are living it up! Our troop is in charge of the celebration and organizing it all.....Mrs. Melba has done a tremendous job in the planning...along with the Neens....and we THE DAISIES are in charge of doing a booth in the LIFE OF JULIETTE LOWE. She was born in 1860 and died in 1927.

Our plans are to have a wing back chair or some old chair (oldest we can find) along with a couch we are borrowing from the "Neens" along with a round table (have it) for the TEA TIME area.  We need for the TEA TIME area:

* 300 butter cookies (look like a flower) - we have to serve a snack at our booth
* mouth wash cups - we will use these to put lemonaide in to serve with cookie (think tea party)
* beverage napkins

The next area will be THE LIFE OF JULIETTE LOWE MUSEUM.  We are planning on putting as many things as we can on two long tables that had something to do with her life.  Here are some ideas that you and your girls can sign up to help bring along with a description as to why it is important:

* paper daisies
* rubber worms
* white gloves
* pearl necklace
* bag of rice (it was rice that caused her deafness)
* stack of old books (she loved to tell stories - especially ghost stories)
* Silver Fish - she won the silver fish award
* cast iron trivet - to represent that she forged her own iron gates...matter of fact she worked so hard on them...that she developed muscles that would not fit into her "dainty dresses"
* something French looking - she went to a French Finishing School
* battleship - a liberty ship was named after her in WWII
* pumkin - she was born on October 31st.
* paint set - she loved to paint/draw
* turkey - look up the turkey story of how she convinced her parents not to kill their Thanksgiving Turkey.
* British Flag - she loved being in England
* Games she would have played:  jumprope, bubble blowing, tick tack toe, solitair, marbles, tops and jacks.
* A science fair board of her drawings and etc.....

We are also planning on a camping area.  We need someone to come up with a way to set up an old fashion tent with bamboo and a sheet.  I told you this was a big area!!! We have plenty of room.  At the talent show someone had a log that looked like it was on fire...we would love to find one of these....if you know someone that has one great~!~!!  We need a wood stool/bench - anything that would look camp site-ish.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ON THIS TASK....PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Other things we may need:

* cross stitching
* we need some safety pins for a swap
* We thought of putting some framed work of Juliette Lowe on the walls/quotes/ (hung by the sticky hooks that peel off - and ribbon/string hot glued to the backs)
* a uniform replica of the era
* old luggage? I have an old trunk I am going to bring....to add to the "look"



　THE GIRLS WILL NEED TO WEAR KHAKI PANTS/SKIRTS/SHORT AND A WHITE SHIRT. WE WOULD FOR THEM TO BE IN A KHAKI DRESS (AS CLOSE TO TEH LOOK OF THE KHAKI UNIFORM OF HER ERA.  WE WILL BE HAVING A FASHION SHOW TO DISPLAY THE LOOK OF UNIFORMS THORUGH OUT THE 100 YEARS OF GIRL SCOUTS.  WE WANT ATLEAST ONE OF OUR GIRLS IN THE SHOW.  WE ARE WORKING ON THIS...BUT WE WOULD LOVE SOME HELP.
