[blparent] girl scout leaders?

[Pipi]

I quit because we moved to hickville.
There were a total of 3 of us as leader and we only had 6 girls. We had 3 
leaders because I made my sister do it with me since it was her daughter but 
because 2 family members can't be the leaders, we had a friend and mother of 
one of the girls join us.
I was also the cookie mom.  The worst part of that was having 80 cases of 
cookies in my den for a few weeks, the sorting and delivering of them. that 
was worse than any of the paperwwork issues I ever had.

I kept track of the dues and such on my computer. As for the medical info, I 
had it read to me and I put it into the computer so that I could access it 
if necessary without sighted assistance. I had tabbed dividers in my binder 
where I kept the forms that the parents filled out. I put a braille label 
with child's name on each, so that if I ever had to take them to hospital 
I'd be able to access which was their form without assistance.
It's a lot of being organized and planning on your part. But it's doable.
As for other paperwork, I had a reader. There really wasn't anyway around 
that.
