  We held our pajama party on Friday, January 23.  We had over 150 Brownies, Juniors and Cadettes attending over a 7 hour time period and collected 160 pajamas and over 160 books.  Our girls loved it and one troop has already asked if they can take over the project for next year.  Thanks for the great idea.  Now I'm off to deliver all the pajamas and books to our local chapter.

 Daisy Troop 66442 and Brownie Troop 66232  Berlin, CT

I'm a co-leader for a troop of 2nd year Daisy scouts in Berlin, Connecticut. I wanted to let you know that on Friday night 1/23 we, along with our sister Brownie troop of 2nd graders, hosted a pajama party for all of the Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade girl scouts in our girls' school. We had 63 girls and collected 77 pairs of pajamas, 2 bathrobes and 1 pair of slippers!  The Friendship Service Center in New Britain, CT will be the recipient of half of the jammies and we are awaiting word from our local Pajama Program Coordinator as to where the other half will be going. Our party was 90 minutes and we had pillowcase decorating, nail painting, color-your-own-tattoos, freeze dance, limbo, and a short movie with popcorn. It was so much fun and for such a great cause! The girls had a great time at our party and already there is a lot of buzz about doing it again next year. Thanks for inspiring us to participate in "The World's Biggest Pajama Party"!
