Hi everyone,
Three quick notes:
#1) Make sure to go to the GMS play Friday if you can! Two Girl Scouts from our troop are participating, and it would be awesome and very scout-ly to support them!
#2) Remember when Evie met with the Greendale Board of Health, Park and Rec, and Village Board representatives to present the results of the community walking path audit our troop organized? (Great pictures of all the steps along the way attached, if it helps jog your memory!) IT WORKED, and made a change in our community! Based on recommendations the community came up with at the event the girls organized and that she presented to the Village Officials, they agreed to install three new benches at locations from the audit! That's a solid 1/2 of our troop Silver Award project locked in and done! (Remaining: redesign the walking brochure, and get signs put up on the paths.)
In addition, the Village is willing to install benches at two more locations, but those locations are on school district and county property, so our troop would have to write letters and present to the School Board and County Officials to get permission for Greendale to do that. (We may work on that at our meeting next Wednesday.)
That's very exciting! One year ago, a group of 11-12 year old girls learned about a need, organized the community, talked to the government, and the government listened and took action! WOW!
#3) Cookie prizes: I'm picking prizes up tomorrow. BUT, this weekend is pretty nutso for us. So, I'll have them sorted and ready for distribution starting Monday night (late). I'll get better timeline out after this weekend runs through, but feel free to text (414-595-6668) or email me to schedule a pick up.
