Hey Amy,
Good thinking... I have to look into that!...I hadn't even
considered that before! Your awesome, thanks!
Yours,

: ouch. Since you volenteered can you take a tax deduction? Figure
: your donated work was $10 per kid and the agrivation another $5
: LOL. I am sure it varies state to state, but when i donate
supplies
: i get a deduction.

: I did a Girl Scout event as a favor to a friend, who needed
another
: : Henna artist. It was all on a volunteer basis, which was OK by
me.
: We
: : were told there would be 40-50 girls and we wouldn't be the only
: : activity. There would also be hair braiding, massages,
cappuccino,
: : dancing, palates and make-up advice. So we figured the two of us
: : could handle it.
: : After a 2 hour drive we arrived early to set-up. Setting up only
: : took 5 minutes or so, so we henna-ed each other and a few early
: : birds. Then the scouts began to come in in herds. the head count
: : totaled 250!!! We quickly turned into the main attraction. Our
line
: : extended beyond our view and the insanity began.
: : Scout leaders hovered nearby shouting at us to hurry it up
because
: : there were alot of girls and they ALL were told they would be
able
: to
: : get henna. I tried my best to explain that we could not possibly
: get
: : all these girls henna-ed, but we would try our best. There were
: about
: : 3-4 scout leaders that were exceptionally pushy...pointing out to
: me
: : which designs I "should" be doing, the ones they thought were
: easiest
: : and quickest to do. They even took my books apart in attempt to
: weed
: : out the easy designs from the hard ones...that was a minor
: annoyance
: : compared to the one that hovered close to me and kept telling me
to
: : hurry, no hand designs because they took too long...as if she was
: an
: : expert. When I stopped looking up at her (because I was trying to
: : hurry.) she must have thought that I couldn't hear her so she got
: : louder and bent her head very low so I could see her in my Field
of
: : vision. This woman was so obnoxious I didn't know what to say to
: get
: : her the heck away from me so I could work in peace. So in an
: attempt
: : to avoid confrontation in front of children, I pleasantly told
her
: if
: : all the girls didn't get henna-ed I would come to each troop
: meeting
: : and henna them there. (stupid stupid stupid!) I live 2-4 hours
away
: : from most of these troops!!! What was I thinking by saying that!
: : To top this evening of chaos off as I was packing up my stuff,
the
: : early bird girls approached us to tell us they got in trouble for
: : having such large and lovely designs on there hands and that they
: : were told it wasn't fair to the rest of the girls who were only
: : allowed to get small simple designs.....what insanity!
: : On my long drive home....through a typically nasty western New
: york
: : snow storm on dark country roads, I prayed that those leaders
would
: : lose my business cards..................but of course they
didn't.
: : I received a call from the obnoxious woman wanting me to come to
: her
: : troop, like I had(stupidly) promised I would....now I have to
call
: : her back and tell her if i can or can't do it...I'm dragging my
: feet
: : on this.
: : Comments, critisisms, advice are all welcome.
