Do you think you have the ugliest scarf on the face of the planet?
Want to turn it into something really cool?
Send in a picture of your ugliest scarf to hearandnow@girlscoutshcc.org by January 20, 2010, and the H&N staff will decide who we think has the worst scarf ever. The winner gets the book that was featured in the Hear&Now magazine, "99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Tie & Rock Your Scarf" to fix that mess you've been hiding in the back of your closet.
Want to win the bag Colbie Caillat signed that was featured in Hear & Now??
Here's your chance!
Send us a video of you saying a Girl Scout PSA! Be creative, add flair to your video, and think up something new!
Don't know what a PSA is? It's a Public Service Announcement. Kind of like a short commercial. All you have to do is make sure you include one of the following PSAs in your video:
"It's Cookie Time! Girl Scout Cookies are now available from Girl Scouts everywhere! The Girl Scout Cookie Program supports the activities and program that Girl Scouts participate in, so make sure to support your local Girl Scouts TODAY!"
"Theyyy're back! Girl Scout Cookies are now available from Girl Scouts everywhere! The Girl Scout Cookie Program supports the activities and program that Girl Scouts participate in. It's an American tradition!"
"Can a cookie change your daughter's life?
Yes, if it is a Girl Scout Cookie! The Girl Scout Cookie program can give her the tools she needs to make her dreams come true. Your daughter will learn leadership skills, goal setting, communication and more when she participates in the great American tradition of selling Girl Scout Cookies."
You can send your video in via e-mail at marcomm@girlscoutshcc.org in any of the following formats: WMV, AVI, MOV, PMG; as long as your video is 10 MB or less. You can also mail a DVD to 3005 Gold Canal Dr. Rancho Cordova, Ca 95670.
Please make sure your entry is in by January 28, 2010. Thank you!
Do you have that one person you have absolutely no idea what to get them for the holidays?
Have you tried searching stores, but can't find anything?
Here are some tips that are bound to give you some ideas!
Winterfest! - There are still three sessions open and there are SOOOOOO many different things to buy there!
GS Shop - There are some really cool items for anyone on your list, from moms, dads, aunts, great step-sisters in law, and anyone else on your list.
Make it! - Everyone loves a handmade gift that shows just how much you appreciate them.
"Creative" Coupons - Give a coupon good for one day spent with you, doing what ever they want to do, skating, shopping, going to the gym, or hanging out at home.
Sing a song - personalize a song for your favorite person, or write it if you don't want to sing it. ;)
ALSO, have a secret buddy exchange at your last GS meeting before the holidays. Then have some hot chocolate and candy canes and sit by the fire! :)
