HALLOWEEN PARTY	Lots of great costumes -The girls made snacks - "witch's hand" with candy corn fingernails and popcorn, and a lemon sherbet/orange soda drink.
THANKSGIVING BREAK	We had fun at the movies - we saw "Toy Story 2" over Thanksgiving Break - November '99.
INVESTITURE	Three girls joined our troop - they were twisted and turned and made to look into the "pond" to see themselves - new Brownies.
TOS	Our November Nut sales provided us with lots of fun and a great profit.
CAROLING	In December '99, We entertained our neighbors as we strolled down the streets holding candles and singing holiday songs. Then we sang more songs and had refreshments with a fire circle.
ICE SKATING PARTY	Over our holiday break, we went ice skating at the Iceoplex. Some of us traded our figure skates for hockey skates - wider boot, no toe pick - smoother skating! Afterwards we enjoyed hot cocoa.
TEA PARTY	For Thinking Day in February '00, the troop voted to learn about England. We found out about girl guides, their promise and their laws, "English words", and songs. We celebrated by having a "Tea of Two Party" - English style.
COOKIE SALES	Cookie sales were phenomenal in the new millennium.
SKILLS DAY - HAWTHORNE NEIGHBORHOOD	We participated at Skills Day with neighboring Girl Scout Troops. Older girls taught us how to tie ropes, build a camp fire, handle pocket knives, mark trails, and learn a new song.
	iEl Segundo Girl Scouts had a chance to spend a night out with dad - at the Father Daughter Dance.

JULY GET TOGETHER	A beautiful day spent at El Segundo Beach - sun, surf, and snacks.
AUGUST GET TOGETHER	Our troop got to meet our penpal - Girl Guide Kara, who, with her family (dad, mom and sister) traveled from England to visit the USA.
