See Fellow Brownie in a Performance of Hairspray on Monday, Dec. 14
One of the girls (Emily S.) in our Brownie Troop has missed a few meetings, as she has been rehearsing for a performance of Hairspray.
As the Brownies are working on a theatre Try-It, and as they will know Emily, I am posting this information on this FREE Hairspray performance.
***This is an OPTIONAL event. Girls can attend with their families.
PERFORMANCE INFO:
Hairspray is Monday 12/14 at 5:30 p.m. at PAC. (The red door of the Danforth Museum in downtown Framingham). There is no Brownie meeting that day! The show is FREE, but seats are expected to fill up quickly.
Emily's Mom said the theatre troupe split the parts so that it is fair to all.
Emily is Tracy in one scene, a newscaster in another and a gym teacher.
She is also in the chorus for the rest of the scenes."

Meeting Summary: Working on Theatre Try-It & Discussion on Optional Activities
After snack (thanks Alyssa & her mom), the Brownies spent most of the meeting inside the Brownie Circle.
Sarah recited the Girl Scout Promise and Bella recited Girl Scout Law.
Then, the girls spent a good portion of the meeting talking about activities some of them have participated in outside of the Troop.
First, we discussed the Thanksgiving Service Project. Each girl told the group why they enjoyed helping out and which task they liked the best and the least. (Least favorites, depending on which Brownie, was peeling carrots or picking turkey meat.) The Brownies really enjoyed doing this service project and told the leaders they would like to do a service project in the spring.
Next, Alyssa talked to the Troop about Girl Scout Night with the Worcester Sharks with the Central & Western Massachusetts Girl Scouts.
Afterwards, we talked about the Framingham Girls Scouts sing-a-long at the Town Tree Lighting. The Brownies from our Troop discussed what they liked about the event and their favorite song to sing. (Rudolph was the top choice.) We also passed around a copy of the local daily newspaper, in which the girls were featured in from the event.
Next, the six Brownies who participated in the Council-sponsored Jungle Safari event yesterday talked about their favorite activities.
After discussion time, the girls were split into three groups and worked on saying 4 tongue twisters. This activity showed the Brownies the importance of pronunciation as an actor, and is one of the requirements to earn the Let's Pretend theatre Try-It.
Tongue twisters practiced included:
* Which Witch Wished for Which Wish?
* Sally sells sea shells on the sea shore
* Buy blue blueberry biscuits before bedtime
* Chester Cheetah chews a chunk of cheddar cheese.
Some of the Brownies shared other tongue twisters they knew and a few Brownies created an original tonguetwister with their name.
NEXT, each girl picked a slip of paper out of a bowl and then had to act out what was written on it, without using their voice. This acting (charades-like) activity, was another requirement of the Let's Pretend Try-It.
Many of the girls felt that the activity they pulled was going to be easy for the other Brownies to guess, but they found out their assumption was incorrect.
For example, one girl felt playing the piano would be too easy for the Brownies to guess. But the girls first guesses, were typing, on the computer, playing a video game...
The girls had fun with this activity.
The Brownies still have to complete two more requirements before earning the theatre Try-It.
The Troop ended the meeting with the Friendship Squeeze, started by Sasha. Followed, by 1-2-3, Girl Scout Out.
.
Our next meeting will be the Troop's holiday party on Monday, Dec. 22. The Brownies will be decorating mini-cakes (and eating them), as part of a requirement to earn a Baking Try-It.

5 Brownies Participate in Holiday Sing-A-Long
Five Brownies from our Troop participated tonight in the 18th Annual Holiday Tree Lighting event at the memorial Building downtown. They were Alyssa, Bella, Emily, Erin, & Madison. The girls were among 55 Framingham Gil Scouts who led hundreds gathered in a holiday sing-a-long in anticipation of Santa & Mrs. Claus arriving on a fire truck. After Santa arrived, the Framingham Girl Scouts helped Santa countdown to the lighting of the Christmas tree. Afterwards, Scouts and those gathered were treated to hot cocoa and a concert by the all-elementary school 5th grade band inside the Memorial Building.
(Participation patches for the 5 girls are on order.)

Holiday Sing-A-Long Details for Friday Night, Dec. 4th
Afternoon everyone,
Just received final details this morning for tomorrow's Girl Scout sing-a-long and holiday tree lighting at Town Hall with Santa Claus.
There are about 50 Girl Scouts from Framingham who are expected to be participating.
Please meet on the NEW Town Hall steps at 6 p.m.
Have the girls wear their Vest OVER their coat.
I will send a link later tonight, so if you choose, you can print off the song lyrics and bring with you.
This is NOT a drop off event. There will be more than 200-300 people at Town Hall tomorrow night.
An adult should stay -- however one parent can be responsible for 2-3 kids, if they choose.
The girls will start singing at 6:15 p.m.
They will sing until Santa arrives on his fire truck. (Expect 15-30 minutes of singing)
The girls MAY sing one song with Santa (depending on how on time or late he is.); and then the girls will stay on the steps with Santa as he lights the town christmas tree.
I will be coming from Hopkinton, so I may not get there until 6:10 p.m.
After the tree lighting, I would like to take a photo of the girls from the TROOP who participated.
After that everyone is on their own. INSIDE Town hall, there will be hot cocoa, coffee, treats and a performance by the all-elementary 5th grade school band, among other activities.
Please e-mail me to let me know if you daughter IS attending tomorrow, so I can provide an accurate count to the leader who is coordinating the event.
--Thanks for your patience in awaiting these details.
