Fundraiser: Community Yard Sale

For our very first fundraiser, we decided to participate in a local community yard sale. This is very popular and well attended. All of our families collected and donated items, and then we met that Saturday morning and sold them! (We were careful to have a large quantity of adult volunteers to help, in addition to keeping an eye on our girls.) We also used this as a community outreach to help promote our new troop.

The girls got a lot of experience in helping others with their purchases, and sharing about our troop.
















It was a great experience, and quite successful!

Heimlich Heroes

American Heritage Girls has a new partnership with Heimlich Heroes, and we used it this Spring. It's a great organized program, AND free patches for the girls who participate!

More information from the AHG Website.

Daddy/Daughter Date

Our AHG Dads love American Heritage Girls and love being active in our troop! This spring, our AHG Dads hosted a group "Daddy/Daughter Date." It instantly became a troop favorite.

They received a gift bag, which included some crayons and activity sheets, as well as a picture frame to decorate, and their fun "patch" to mark the occasion on their uniform! They each also received flowers, and met for a group dinner at a local restaurant.
