Valentines for Veterans was a success. Several troops met together to make valentines cards for local veterans. We invited a couple of local vets to come and talk with the girls as they created their cards. We had several styles for the girls to choose from and some chose to do their own thing. FUN. My troop met early and provided the flag ceremony. I spent most of the afternoon looking for and making red sashes and white gloves.
FYI, the American Legion in Augusta does not possess a Maine flag. So our ceremony only had an American flag. It was still well done and made me proud. My girls all had fun, except Amanda who fell ill early on and went home with her Mom after the flag ceremony, poor girl had had a busy day.
All those helping out wore their tie-dyes shirts and everyone liked them, next time I think I need to mix more soda ash into the pre-soak, as the shirts lost a lot of their color when they were washed. OH Well! Live and learn!
