In The Know With the CEo
March 2010
We’re holding the 2010 Annual Meeting March 6 at the Walnut Creek Country Club in Goldsboro and all registered Girls Scouts are welcome. We’ll have breakout sessions on program and technology, the 100th anniversary (already full), and a council property update. There is no charge to attend the meeting but the recognition lunch is $14 a person. Click here to register. If you want more information, contact Angela Bullock.
Governor Beverly Perdue is proclaiming March 7-13 Girl Scout Week throughout North Carolina, and a number of mayors have joined her. Linda Carlisle, NC Secretary of Cultural Resources, will present the Governor’s proclamation at a ceremony with the Girl Scout Pages at the Legislative Building March 9. For more information and the full list of towns and counties celebrating Girl Scout Week, click here.
Other Girl Scout Week activities include:
Girl Scout Sunday, March 7 - which gives girls an opportunity to attend their place of worship and be recognized as a Girl Scout.
Girl Scout Birthday, Friday, March 12 – the day 98 years ago when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization’s first 18 girl members as Girl Scouts in Savannah, Georgia.
Girl Scout Sabbath, Saturday, March 13 - which gives girls another opportunity to attend their place of worship and be recognized as a Girl Scout.
Save the date: Spring Leaderee 2010 April 9-11 at Camp Graham. Ninety-eight years of Girl Scouting have produced lots of memories, and we'll get the chance to explore some of them as well as find out what's new in anticipation of our 100th birthday in 2012. Watch for the registration packet at the end of the month – and new this year, you can register online!
Our Girl Scout Cookie Sale is looking good. I am pleased to report that we are in excellent shape to meet our 2010 goals, and we’re tracking very well against this same time last year. Thank you each and every one of you – and keep up the great work!
I hope by now you’ve had the chance to sign up on our new online membership data and e-Business system. Troop leaders can use it to manage Troop membership and member contact information. Girls and volunteers can access their membership information, and parents can log on to update their daughter’s information. Adult members can sign up for council training opportunities.
