After a special lunch time spent with your Girl Scout friends sit back and enjoy some time with our founder Juliette Gordan Low as she shares with us her story, her dreams, her legacy of Girl Scouting. A moving closing will send us all on our way touched by the spirit that our Daisy created 100 years ago.

Border of Distinction

What we have in mind is to run a border of 8 1/2 x 11 'posters' along the wall of the lobby and atrium at Embassy Suites - each poster representing an award project.  After the event, they may be moved to the Corporate office for display where leaders and girls can come and be inspired to do their own project.

We would like anyone/troop who has earned the Bronze, Silver or Gold Award to make a one-page recap of their project (please use the templates on next pages) for display during the Something Special, Girl Scout Adult event on August 18, 2012 at Embassy Suites in Independence.

Page should contain:
• The appropriate page heading found on the following templates
• A brief recap of the project – for Gold Award, the one in the banquet booklet would be appropriate.
• Girl(s)’s first name(s),  If it was a troop project, just the troop # is fine
• Troop # (include the leading region #)
• City & GSNEO region
• Year of project
• Pictures of the project  (be sure you have permission from parents if any girls are in the pictures)  The pictures do not have to be formatted as they are in the templates, they can be turned at angles, cropped to various sizes, etc – be creative.
• If at all possible, laminate the page before turning it in.

Please print the page, laminate it (if possible) and mail it to:
 Girl Scouts of North East Ohio
 Attn: Mindy Feigenbaum
 One Girl Scout Way
 Macedonia, OH 44056-2156

In addition, send an electronic copy to marketing@gsneo.org  for inclusion in a Power Point display.

Drop it off in person to Mindy at the Corporate office in Macedonia through your Service Unit Director who can give it to their Membership Specialist at their cluster meeting. 

Please submit by June 30th 2012.

Bronze Award Project
Girls visited Animal Protective League & Cuyahoga County Kennel to learn of their needs.  They each made a collection box and placed it in an area business to collect pet supplies for the shelters.  Girls also made catnip sachets and dog adoption goodie bags.  They delivered items to shelters.
