Service Team Start-Up Kit
Here is your Service Team Member kit. I suggest you keep it handy, use it at your discretion.
Paper/Pencil - for taking notes at meetings, while on the phone, for leaving lists for your kids to do, notes to your husband
Bandaid - for patching up broken hearts because you can't please everyone
Aspirin - for that pain in the ......
Emergency Card - in case you forget the phone numbers
Clip - to hold everything together
Antacids - for when you realize you are going to a dinner meeting after dinner
35¢ - for an emergency call to your SU manager because you forgot....
Wash-Ups - for sticky situations
Breath mints - because we will be working closely together
Water - you will be parched from talking so much about Girl Scouts
Candy Bar - for a burst of energy and a chocolate fix
Brown bag - to bag your lunch to eat on your way
Yellow bandana - for a sense of humor
Kisses - because I love you
Something I can't put in this kit, but hope you remember always, MY APPRECIATION. Your dedication to Girl Scouting is what makes it great. Hope we have a great year. Thank you for all your help.
Your Service Unit Manager
Notes:
Our SUM packaged the items in a reusable, covered plastic tub. They were distributed at our August Service Team meeting.
We had a banana in the box, not a bandana. This is the result of a great skit the SUM and one of our Trainers performed at a SU meeting last spring. One has the bandana and the other a banana, almost in a back to back position so they don't 'see' what the other has.. The one with the bandana does all the speaking while the banana follows what the speaker says to do with her 'bandana'. For example: Unfold your bandana, use it for a scarf on your head, as a tourniquet, wipe your brow with it when you're hot and sweaty, blow your nose; to name a few of the actions. A great tension reliever at Service Unit meetings.
