Special Event: Museum of Science Sleepover in June

For our BIG event this year, Troop 2082 is planning on participating in the Girl Scout Sleepover at the Museum of Science on Saturday, June 6.
* As some of the girls in the troop may be uncomfortable with a sleepover that far from home by themselves, we PURPOSELY selected the sleepover that is Mom & Me. That means that every girl attending can bring their mom (or an adult FEMALE relative/guardian 19 or older). YET, an adult is not required to attend for your child to go, as all 3 leaders will be attending. No siblings can attend. No males can attend.
* This special GS night event typically includes hands-on science activities, science demonstrations, an Omni show, a late night program, and plenty of time to explore the museum.
* We realize this event is expensive, especially in this economy.
The cost is $47 per child and $47 per adult.
As leaders, we would like to subsidize the cost of your daughter to attend up to $20 per Brownie based on HER cookie sales/effort this spring. (If your daughter signs up, we will add UP TO $20 BACK into her activity fund in spring 2009.)
* Unfortunately, these Museum of Science sleepovers fill up quickly and typically sell out. Most of the events are already sold out through mid-March.
** For that reason, we are asking if your child is interested in attending with or without an adult; we NEED a check Monday (at our meeting), so we can start the registration process. (Please make checks out to GSEM Brownie Troop #72082). As the event is sponsored by Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts WE can only hold a spot, if registration is paid in full.
Again, we realize this is an expensive event, but it will be our one big TROOP event for the year.
FYI: Dinner is on your own that night (June 6) and there is a $5 per car parking fee for keeping a car overnight in the garage.
If you have any questions, concerns, or issues, please don't hesitate to contact one of us leaders.
Thanks
