Cookie Pre-Sale day dawned and my email box was full by 9am with orders but orders were flat. Our area had just had Northrup & Lockheed layoff 2000+ people and people were watching their pennies. It was going to be a tough cookie year. Even my daughter who normally sells 500+ in pre-sale had a 309 order.
We were going to have to kick butt in boothing to pay off the trip with fundraising!
Cookie Pre-order night is also always a fun meeting night in our troop. We always home-make our version of Girl Scout cookies. That night we baked shortbread and dipped it in peppermint chocolate, we made our version of Thank You Berry Munch, and our version of Do-Si-Dos. We had a terriffic meeting going and at 7:15pm my husband walked into the kitchen with M#3 and her mother....
They wanted to talk.. they had cookie order forms filled out..
