9.  Join the Sisterhood of the Traveling Apron!!!

If you are planning a bread project for the Million Bread Bake, you might be interested in helping us launch our new Sisterhood of the Traveling Apron contest.  Yes, it's a knock-off on the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. J

Here's how it works:
E-mail info@spreadthebread.org.  Put the word "Sisterhood" in the subject line. We'll send you an apron in the mail or let you know that you've become part of our "Sisterhood of the Traveling Apron" contest and will be receiving an apron in the mail before or after the completion of your bread project.

Once you receive the apron, and after you've finished your bread project, ask all the girls in your troop to sign the apron with a short upbeat message. Remember to tell the girls to write small because we're trying to get as many signatures on the apron as possible.

E-mail us when your apron is ready to travel and we'll send you the address of another Girl Scout troop that will be participating in our bread project.  We respectfully ask that you send the apron to them so they can sign it and send it along and so on and so on. 

As soon as we receive notification that the apron is completely covered in bread signatures, front and back, then we'll pull a name, at random, from all of the girls that signed the apron and that girl will WIN the Sisterhood of the Traveling Apron to keep, treasure, hold and bake with!! Hopefully, the apron, like the pants, will deliver good luck!! The girls will have to let us know!!!

This should be really FUN and another way to team build/bond while baking a difference...
