THANKS from Operation Minnesota Nice

Thank you and the American Heritage girls for their show of support to our troops with the baked goods and cards.  The troops truly love both of those items but more than that they love the support from home.

Teen MOPS Volunteer Opp TONIGHT!

Do you have some time free tonight? Teen MOPS (a group that AHG has helped in the past and is a ministry at Christ Community Church) is in need of volunteers tonight. This is one of the most well-attended nights with this group of girls and is a great ministry for a part of this world that really needs to see that people love them. A mom and daughter could do this together!

The first time we did a spa night at Teen MOPS I was washing their feet...and it really was just a moment because I knew the significance of it and they just talked and had a moment where someone cared for them. Help is needed at their SPA Night again and really...it isn't hard work and you don't need to be a professional in any way...you just need to really be able to show a smile. If you are interested in helping...here is a link with more details and what volunteer spots are still needed.

Oxbow Park & Zollman Zoo Service Opp May 17th

For all of you who love Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo, here's a great chance to
serve in your community...

Oxbow Zoo would appreciate it if AHG was willing to run the carnival games
at SpringFest.  AHG Troop 226's Explorers are working on devising the games.
They anticipate having 4-6 different games that will need to be manned.
Could you come and help?


AHG All Troop Service Project, Oxbow Parks SpringFest

*         When: May 17th 11am - 3pm

*         Where:  Oxbow Park, Byron

*         Doing What:  Girls will be manning several different carnival
games, like bean bag tosses, etc.  Shifts are in 1/2 hour slots but girls
are welcome to sign up for more than one shift.

*         Who:  This service is appropriate for Tenderheart 2s and up.
However families with children of all ages are invited to come and
experience all that SpringFest has to offer.

*         What to bring:  Sunscreen, hat, water bottle

*         No food will be allowed inside the zoo.  However, outside the zoo,
there will be food for sale, and people are welcome to picnic.

*         SpringFest funds are going toward building a natural playscape at
the park.


Please get in touch with Jessica Gisi at the AHG e-mail with your time slot preference to get signed
up. Each game needs about 4 girls, so contact your AHG friends first to get
in sync. =-) Our troop is joining the others, but we're offering this as a
'family activity'.  That means a parent needs to stay and watch/help
daughters therefore we're not lining up AHG Leaders to supervise the girls
in our troop. Since the shifts are 30 minutes long, we're guessing that
you'd stay anyway.

This is a great experience - let me know!
