Troops throughout New York to register for Girl Scout Advocacy Day at
the Capitol sponsored by Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh and being held
in the Well of the Legislative Office Building (LOB).

Welcome and opening
remarks by Brenda Episicopo, CEO of GSNENY, Assemblywoman Walsh will
speak afterwards to Girl Scouts about the importance of using your
voice and how the Assembly works towards listening to their
constituents. Introductions to other Assembly and Senate members, who
are joining in the morning in the Well. Learn about advocacy and
lobbying with Katherine Nadeau from GSNENY who works in the Capitol.
Lunch, SWAPs and sisterhood with other Girl Scouts in the Well of the

Afterwards attend the Assembly Session in the balcony of the Assembly
