Halloween Contest at Girl Scout Service Centers
Each Service Center throughout the council had a Halloween costume and best pumpkin contest. And the winners were...
Cedar Rapids Service Center
It is a tight race in Cedar Rapids. With a total entry pool of zero pumpkins and two costumes, it is unclear who our winner would be. Kirk Watson as “Dog” or Jenn Ritch as “Gypsy/Renaissance Wench”? Only effective use of the democratic system will tell. The race was too close to call. Both win!
Rock Island Service Center
Costume contest winner goes to Claudia Reich, TITANIC SURVIVOR. Pumpkin contest winner goes to Kim Kirby with her Harley Girl Pumpkin.
Waterloo Service Center
Best Pumpkin goes to Val and her Mummy. And best costume goes to Nicole for her Toga Fairy costume, see the group shot of all of us too!
Dubuque Service Center
Michael Capek won the prize for Best Costume! He was a wounded Boy Scout. He even had some staff convinced that he was actually hurt. Sorry, no picture.
West Burlington Service Center
Ann Hulett won best pumpkin.

Word Poetry-Play Along at Home
Nearly 100 cases of Girl Scout Cookies were delivered yesterday; they will be used for promotional purposes prior to the start of the sale in January. But once the first shipment arrives, we'll have Girl Scout Cookies delivered to the office until the last case leaves in May! So we're cleaning closets here at the office, getting ready for the 2009 Cookie Sale Program.
One of the things we found was a word magnet set from the 2008 Cookie Sale Program. I love these sets--easy poetry at your fingers!
So I thought I'd let you all play along at home. The words are listed below, use as many as you want to make a phrase or poem and add it as a comment or send an email to HillaryB(at)GSEIWI(dot)org and I'll add it for you.
Here's my three poems:
