Kathy says: I just
sent in my registration and before you know it Great Escape will be here. I‘m part
of the Thursday night crew - we volunteer to go early to set up the camp: clean
the kitchen and dishes, set up tables and benches in the dining hall, bring
supplies to washhouses and workshop
sites and run to the store when the cooks need something.
Why do I do this? I believe in the purpose behind the Great
Escape - yes it is a weekend for "me" time but it is so much more. It
is a time to meet with friends seen once or twice a year and to catch up with
all that has happened since last met- sharing hugs and sometimes tears; to be away from the stress of work and life
in general; to gather fresh ideas and new songs to bring back to Girl Scout
troops and leaders; to bask in the sunshine and crisp fresh air of New
Hampshire (and sometimes to shiver and huddle away from the rain, after all
this is New England); to laugh and laugh
some more; to make new friends who become cherished old friends; to realize the
love of the Girl Scout program we all share and to know we are a part of the
bigger picture.
I read Kaye's post and what she said is so true -I too come
away from this weekend with so much more than I bring. Join us and see if it
isn’t the same for you. I always enjoy making a new friend!
