1. NO DECEMBER MEETING! We will meet at the normal time on January 19th.
    
2. February's meeting will be a special planning meeting. Definitely plan to attend - and this is the meeting to bring your co-leaders and any parents who are always saying, "Well I'd like to help, but I'm not sure what I could do". We will serve dinner (pizza and salad) at the February meeting.
    
3. Some leaders have asked for participation patches for the Fall Service Unit events. The Fall campout patches are here now, if you did not attend Monday's meeting, you may pick them up from the box on Jana Stenbeck's porch.

   If you are interested in patches for the Juliette Low clean-up / sing-up, or the She-She tea, send me an email with the number of patches you would like.

   The cost will be $1 / patch. We didn't get patches before since we wanted these to be free events, but there is enough interest that we will order them now.

   Pictures of the patches:

   

   Email me, cchauck@iastate.edu , no later than December 4th. I will be placing the order on December 5th, and I will not be ordering any extras, so if you miss the deadline, it's too late. You can bring the money to the January meeting, or if you really, really want them in December (they will probably arrive by the 12th), you can email me and we can figure out how to get them to you.
