Virginia: I also have Yager, Carpenter and Fisher ancestors. As mentioned before on this website, we are stuck on George W. Yager 1808 PA married to Barbara Carpenter/Zimmerman. I have information on Adam Fisher, Jr. who had residence in IN. I would appreciate hearing from you, if you have any of these people in your line... Thanks, Janice PS I quit buying Girl Scout cookies as I was told they only received .02 cents per box....the rest of the money going to maintain huge building and administrative costs. Was I misinformed?
Janice, Where I live (Columbia River Girl Scout Council) the troop receives 75 cents per box, the council receives the same and the rest pays for the cookies. The Councils do have office buildings and administration but they provide things like insurance, facilities and training that make it possible for the volunteer leaders to do their jobs as well as organize activities in which the girls may participate.

Yager and Zimmerman are relatively common German surnames. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janice Murnan" <janorm@comcast.net> To: <germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 9:13 AM Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Girl Scout Cookies > I also have Yager, Carpenter and Fisher ancestors.

Janice, Does your Adam Fisher, Jr. connect with the Adam Fisher (b. 1783) who migrated to Mercer County, (now Boyle) Kentucky with his father and uncles Stephen and Barnard? This Adam is buried in Lobb Cemetery in Blue Springs, Jackson County, Missouri. http://www.geniecorner.com/HTML/Lobb.html If it is the same Adam, I would like to know more about his time in Indiana.

Interesting connection. I descend from Rosetta Yeager (dau of William Lambert Yager). Rosetta's granddaughter married a Crenshaw, who are very predominant in the Lobb Cemetery.

Hello Janice -- here is the financial arrangement in the National Capital Region regarding Girl Scout Cookies: In our council, girls get 60 cents per box to the troop - which they use to do activities. Teen girls can opt to skip incentives and get 65 cents. $1.64 goes to direct services (programs, organizing troops, training). $1.06 is the cost of the sale (product, promotion, incentives, transportation) and $.20 is administrative costs. Money stays at the local council. > PS I quit buying Girl Scout cookies as I was told they only received .02 > cents per box....the rest of the money going to maintain huge building and > administrative costs.
