International Thinking Day Faire

Dear Sunny Trails Troop Leaders:

If you missed the October Service Unit meeting, you missed the announcement regarding the 2nd Annual Sunny Trails International Faire to be held on Saturday, February 26, 2011, 11am-1pm at Otay Ranch High School.

The International Faire is a great opportunity for our troops to celebrate World Thinking Day and to learn about Girl Scout troops around the world. Each troop is strongly encouraged to participate by choosing a country that you know very little about and learn more about it. Then participate in one of the following ways:

1. Food Booth – provide samplings of food from the country you choose

2. Crafts – provide a craft for girls to make that represent the country you choose

3. Games – play games that represent the country you choose

4. Art Display – make a display that demonstrates and describes the country you choose

Based on lessons learned from our first International Faire, we are asking that you only choose one of the above ways to participate unless you are planning to split your troop and have them at separate tables.

There will be ample time during the Faire for your troop to send some girls to walk around and experience what other troops are doing, have them come back to take care of your display and send the other girls to walk around.

The participation form can be found Here and more information for leaders can be downloaded here Forms should be submitted to Janet Castro, jcrump.castro@gmail.com no later than Thursday, Nov. 18. If you have questions regarding the Faire, please contact Janet.

We hope to see everyone on February 26 at the International Faire. It will be a fun event for all!
