Finished

As of a few days ago I have officially earned my Gold Award.  This whole project has been very rewarding and I am so sad to see it end.  During this journey I have learned so much and met so many wonderful people.  I encourage every single one of you to become involved in your community because the outcome is so rewarding.  Thanks for sticking by my side during this incredible journey.

Woohoo!

The art piece for Emory's Winship Lung cancer center is finally in.  I am so excited yet so sad that this journey(project) is almost over.  Here's a sneak peak...

Lend A Helping Hand

It really is fun to go out in your community and to lend a hand.  Not only can you make a difference but you can enjoy the time you spend while accomplishing it.  I highly recommend any current Girl Scouts to stick with the program and to contribute to our society with a service project.  And even if your are not in Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts there is still no excuse to not get involved and make a difference.  You will learn so much about your community and yourself.

Almost there

Red Ribbon week was a success and I am almost finished with my gold award project.  All that's left.
1. get pictures
2. check in with emory's art person
3. give my school the powerpoint flashdrive

15 DAYS

There is only 15 days left until October 21 and you know what that means!!!  The start of Red Ribbon Week AKA Drug Free Week.

What I have accomplished:
I have picked out an Art Piece For Emory Lung Cancer Center
Came up with what will go on the plaque

Whats left;
get flyers approve and hang them
meet one last time with assistant principal
them give presentations

Mission: Fundraiser complete

I had my fundraiser this weekend selling the homemade dog treats and I made a profit of $86(plus the $231 I earned through cookie funds)despite the cold, windy, and rainy weather.  I plan on making a change in my project, instead of buying a piece of artwork for the Emory lung caner center I hope to just be able to donate the funds toward lung cancer research.

Next Step: Fundraising

My fundraiser is just around the corner. In order to be well prepared for this I have recruited some of my fellow girl scouts to help out with the fundraiser.  And I have also already started to bake the treats.  School will be starting this Monday and the fundraiser will be this Saturday, however, this week I hope to get together with my principal and look over and review the plans for Red Ribbon Week.
