We are also going to offer a new "Service Project Board". The board will be a bulletin board with ideas and available service projects. It will be available at leader meetings. Please feel free to add ideas and to utilize it to generate ideas of service projects your own troop can participate in.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns or ideas for this coming year.

Thank you, Peggy Wallace

New Website!! www.phgsa.org The Pleasant Hill Association web site opened for business in December 1998. The site currently includes a meeting and events calendar, roster of ACT members, information about upcoming events, Super Troop requirements, issues of NUGGETS, and information about our Association Library.  After visiting our web site, please make suggestions for additions, deletions and modifications. This is a site in progress, and its purpose is to provide another way to make information available to all of us.  If your troop has a web site and you would like the Pleasant Hill Association to link to it, send an email to webscout@phgsa.org. If you plan an association-wide event, be sure and send a notice to webscout@phgsa.org, so the information will be posted on the web site.  We are linked from the San Francisco Bay Girl Scout Council "Links" page.  Visit our web site at http:/www.phgsa.org , and of course, be sure and make a bookmark.

TROOP NEWS WHEEEEE! That was fun!", was what most of the participants said at the Four Winds Challenge by Choice ropes course. Everyone had fun from doing the low elements, which are more teamwork and problem solving, to doing the high elements (which are REALLY high!) that build confidence. Everyone said they'd do it again in a minute!  --Submitted by a Troop 3941 member  As Brownies we participated in a service project for our school. We bought and painted trash cans for the school yard. The trash cans were greatly needed. This year, we are enjoying seeing the trash cans we decorated. Not only was it a fun project, it really benefitted our school and ALL the kids at school!  --submitted by Junior Troop 1039
