Due to the weather, our Volunteer Appreciation event has been rescheduled! The region 5 staff would like to invite all Girl Scout volunteers to our open house appreciation event on April 27th! This is a special way for us to say THANK YOU for all you've done and continue to do for the Girl Scouts in your lives. We will be having a lunch and dessert open house, come anytime from 11am - 12:30pm. This will also be our chance to acknowledge those adult volunteers and community members that have been nominated for Recognition Awards. This event is free, but please RSVP so we make sure we have enough food.

We have great news to share!  In response to feedback from volunteers, we’ve added several new Thank You eCards that can easily be accessed via www.abcsmartcookies.com. These cards are designed for girls to download and send to their customers – whether they are paper orders or online orders. To make sure girls can easily find the cards, we’ve added a newsfeed on the home page (see below screenshot) as well as a side bar in each of the girl sections on our website.

Did you know that Girl Scouts is the premiere leadership organization for girls?

Carrying on that success begins with a Girl Scout Recruitment Night! Recruitment Nights are about more than just filling out and collecting forms; they are about showing new families the wonderful opportunities available to their girl through Girl Scouts.

Are you making changes to your troop’s banking account?  Changing the signers on the account or perhaps even changing banks?  If so, please contact Carol Weis to have an updated Corporate Resolution sent to the bank.  All Girl Scout bank accounts must have at least two signers, and ALL signers must be registered adult Girl Scouts -- no exceptions.
