Memory Lane 4

Another walk down the lane - some of us had dinner with Lou Ann last week.  She's doing well and looking beautiful.  This picture is from about 7 years ago.

I found a big box of Girl Scout memorabilia in the attic today which I had put away for the auction this year.  It's getting closer!  Don't forget to register.

Walk In The Woods

Today I went to the Garden In The Woods in Framingham.  I didn't notice the wildlife in this picture until I got home.  See him there above the 'cone' of the flower?

I was happy to see May Apples, too, about which I had only read before.

And a "Curlytop" too - not Shirley Temple, but this clematis.

I always look forward to Great Escape and the woodland treasures to be discovered there.  Register here and see what you can discover when you walk in the fall woods. 

Leap Before You Look

Lean In - Again

As a new feature of the 2014 Great Escape, we're going to have a discussion of the book "Lean In" by Cheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook.  In preparation, some GE committee members have been reading the book and at our meeting the other day, several mentioned that, although they were skeptical at the beginning, as they read they were blown away by the book's relevance to their lives, as well as how important it is to our work as Girl Scout Volunteers.

We hope you'll join in the discussion at GE - it will be between workshops and dinner on Saturday.  Read the book if you can, but if not, join us anyway - I guarantee you'll learn something useful!  Here's the original post about the discussion; New in 2014 - Lean In.

Memory Lane 3

Just got back from dropping DD at work.  Of course we stopped for coffee on the way - which reminded me that we always have plenty of coffee (tea and cocoa too!) at GE.  I think this photo says it all.  Don't forget to register!

Memory Lane 2

This picture is more recent than the last; one of these dessert makers was in my troop and attending in her last year of high school.  If you have high school seniors, bring them to Great Escape!  It's a great way for them to meet people who have continued Girl Scouting beyond graduation; there are young, dynamic people for them to meet as well as some of us 'golden oldies.'  They'll see that singing is a big part of GS still; if they are interested in being camp counselors, they will meet staff from our resident camps!

Memory Lane

Less than two months until GE! Over the next weeks I'll take you on a trip down memory lane.  Here's a photo I call 'campers on a rock.'  Y'all come too - register!
