Derby Race Day
We started the month off at the Girl Scouts Powder Puff Derby at Insight Dairy in Little Falls, N.Y., where we saw some of the most amazing animal cars and Girl Scout spirit all in one place. This Service Unit also designed a super fun t-shirt through our GSNYPENN Press Shop for the event. You could never tell from all the fun happening inside that it was cold and rainy outside!
Derbies, Dinners and Bagpipes
By Jennifer Phillips, Director of Advancement
April is such a fun month in Retail! We get to travel across our council, visit people from all over and hear about all the great things everyone is doing in their communities!
Celebrating Volunteer Victories
Just a few days later, we were celebrating with our amazing volunteers on the eastern side of the council at Harts Hill Inn in Whitesboro watching long-time friendships and celebrations happening all around the room while sharing successes and challenges all in the name of sisterhood. While leaders shopped for their end-of-year troop events, we were continuously inspired by all the great things our volunteers do every day to make an impact on Girl Scouts. Our volunteer dinners are a special time to honor their influence.
International Taste Festival Fun
The following weekend, we were off to spend the day at the New York State Fairgrounds for the International Taste Festival. At this festival, our Girl Scouts traveling to Europe this summer were selling cookies to raise funds. We had an awesome heat press design created for the products we were selling with the phrase “Be Kind” printed on it in several languages! As we were standing at the booth chatting away with so many people from the community, we witnessed the bagpipe parade and got to hang out with some local friends!
We’re so excited about all the events that are coming and the events yet to come! Keep us posted on what's happening in your area, we'd love to visit!
