We Celebrate World Thinking Day!

This year the focus is on water facts & why fresh water is important for every Girl Scout around the world--the 3rd graders already knew these, but we went over them anyway...
97% of all the water that is found on earth is "salt water" found in the ocean & seas.
1% of the earth's water is available for drinking. the other 2% is still frozen.
Our human bodies are about 2/3 water, some parts of the body contain more water than others. 70% of your skin is water.
Human survival requires water, the human body can only survive 5-7 days without it. The body can go approximately a month without food.
An 8oz glass can be filled 15,000 for the same cost of a six-pack of pop.
we played games: High School Musical questions, The Story of Juliette Low, A Girl Scout Right Left Story, Rabbit Without a House, Mr. Bear. Shelby played Rabbit Without A House, too!
Everyone signed the journals for the Flat Stacies from Bronx, NY, then we took pictures with them. Deb mailed 2 Flat Stacies to Bronx, NY.
The shirts arrived during the meeting, Jazmine, Breanna, Lindsay, Katie, Kayla got theirs, Mackenzie was sick, so will get hers later. Morgan & Cortney's haven't arrived yet. Also have sashes for Jessica & Mackenzie. We didn't have time to glue on the patches, Nellie, Tracy, Shelley, Deb, & Melanie took bottles of patch glue home to work on sashes. One of the Henley girls is missing a patch from Fall Product Sales. Will remedy that. Gave Kayla the Girl Scout pen she ordered from cookie sale.
The girls got their original Stacies back, all except for Breanna, maybe her name wasn't on it? Will have to do some investigating. Deb took the Stacies going to United Kingdom to laminate for us!
Handed out Talent Show patches to all present, will mail to the others.
Attending & earning World Thinking Day 2008 patches were: Jazmine, Cortney, Morgan, Dominique, Morrisa, Kayla, Kelsie, Katie, Danielle, Breanna, & Lindsay.
Next meeting is the Girl Scout Week Fun Day Pajama Party March 8th at the Community Building.
