Bring It On!

I have got to admit I love this ... a Girl Scout taking on a champion hot dog eater and the interloper weatherman (who won, by the way). GO HANNAH! Eat those Girl Scout Cookies!

A Promise To Keep

I wonder if these little girls know that they have made history today?

After 5:00 ... it's Girl Scout Cookie Time!

It's after 5:00 ... sometimes it's the time when I can settle in and finally get some work done! Tonight as I walked back into the east wing of the Girl Scout office, I am dreaming of my Lemon Chalet Cremes and have decided they are just the thing I need to keep the thinking juices going for a little longer.

I walk by Pam's office and laugh to myself as I see her Lemon Chalet Cremes open on her desk. I walk by another office with an open box of cookies ... then another ... and another! I couldn't resist getting the camera out. Here's what I found (if you don't see captions that tell who had cookies, click on the little yellow icon on the bottom left):



One thing is for sure ... We sure support our local Girl Scout Cookie Sale!

Channel 2 Just Ate Us Up!

Yummmmmmminess abounds at KJRH Channel 2 with a food segment featuring our own Sasha and PR Star Alyson! The decadent cookie shakes are enough to make you swoon ... or exercise!

Smart Cookies!

Hannah, Kacie, and Rachael are interviewed by intern Nicole Macia for a feature in the March issue of Tulsa Kids Magazine. For those of you in the Tulsa area, pick up a free copy to see the cute photo! While PR can be exciting, there are parts that aren't the most glamorous. I had to laugh at the difference between the fun photos and the body language during the interview.

Thank you, Channel 8!

While we get media attention from many stations, I just had to post this because I'm so proud! My daughter had to come with me to two morning shows, and wore her uniform because she hoped she could sit on the set (I told her only the older girls were being interviewed). Well, at Channel 8, they asked if she could be part of it and weren't supposed to give her a microphone, but did anyway! When asked on camera what she liked about selling Girl Scout Cookies, I held my breath. You never know what the young ones will say. "I like meeting new people," she said. What an awesome answer! I was so proud!

PR Stars Hit The Set of Channel 6

Hannah's TV debut had the news anchors eating out of her hand (well, at least figuratively). They quickly dived into the cookies we brought along to the set! I have to say, this was a GREAT interview. The value of leadership and the learning involved in the Cookie Sale was highlighted, and that made us all quite happy!

Channel 8 is Really Great!

OK ... so the cheesy rhyme is cheesy. But our segment with Channel 8 wasn't cheesy. It was cookie-riffic! Our own Cookie Diva took the stage with our PR Star Olivia for our first TV appearance of the season. Way to go, girls!

Thanks K95.5 FM Tulsa!

Three of our "pilot" PR Stars girls had their first taste of radio today at K95.5 FM with two gracious hosts, Karla Cantrell and Matt Bradley. Between laughter, giggles, and trying on the blinking nose we managed to say that these cookies help girls go to camp and that we have three new cookies this year - Lemon Chalet Cremes, Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies, and new All Abouts! Personally, I didn't realize until I was a mother of a Girl Scout that these cookies don't just "in general" help girls go to camp ... but each girl earns cookie credit with each box sold. And that's in addition to the all the other ways the cookie "crumbles" to help the troop, council, scholarships, etc.!

I found the Cookie Queen!

Funny ... Her throne was vacant. She was down in the dungeon. I think she was building some sort of castle? LOL!

This is my first experience with the big cookie sale. Of course, one of my preconceived notions when hearing "Girl Scouts" was cookies. The other? Camping. I had no idea how much leadership was involved ... and the wide array of opportunities? It's like you can create your own adventure in so many ways. I keep being impressed with what is offered and accomplished.

And in the case of cookies? It's quite impressive what these little goodies accomplish. Only 88 cents is for the cookie. We're one of the highest (and I think THE highest) Councils when it comes to outreach programs. This is one of the most major ways our outreach is funded. Plus, it goes into the programs offered for girls, and to individual "cookie credit" ... and as a mom? That's nice! The troop will be going on an outing, my daughter will have store credit for uniform components (among other things), and we are helping girls who may not get other opportunities. How cool is that?

Cookie Week Publicity

I got to tag along to a television interview today. This week I believe we have 4 television appearances. It's COOKIE TIME! The big Girl Scout Cookie Sale begins on Saturday.
