Annual Council Meeting: Saturday, April 25, 2009
The first Annual Meeting of Girl Scouts of Western Ohio will take
place on Saturday, April 25, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. at the Girl
Scout Center in Dayton, Ohio. All members are encouraged to
attend this meeting and to hear the State of the Council report, as
well as be introduced to new and returning board members. There
will be an opportunity to provide input on a specific discussion
topic and members will participate in a question and answer session.
The agenda and other information about the meeting will be
communicated as soon as it becomes available.
Exercise your right to vote! All council members (active
volunteers and girls, ages 14 and up) are encouraged to vote in 2009
for our board of directors and members of the board development
committee. The election will take place between February 17
and March 30, 2009, and members will have the option of voting
electronically or by paper ballot. The link to the electronic
ballot can be found on our website
www.girlscoutsofwesternohio.org.
Members may request a paper ballot by contacting Roni Luckenbill,
Chief Operating Officer at 513-619-1402 or
roniluckenbill@girlscoutsofwesternohio.org.
This is a new way of voting for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio – our
council bylaws were written to allow for “one member, one vote”.
This means that all members have a vote and we no longer have
delegates to represent area associations or service units, as was
the case in our legacy councils. Girl Scout councils using
this form of decision-influencing have found that it is much more
inclusive of the membership and allows for greater involvement by
members.
See the
Girl Scouts of Western Ohio website for more information.
2009 Annual Giving Campaign
Welcome to the kick-off of the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, Annual
Giving Campaign! Our theme this year is “I Promise.” Just as girls
make the Girl Scout Promise, we as adults make a promise to the
girls in Girl Scouting. The Annual Campaign provides financial
support that enables girls and adults to achieve the mission and
goals of the Girl Scout program. When you make a gift to the
campaign you join with Girl Scout parents, volunteer and paid staff,
community members and corporations to invest in the development of
today’s girls and tomorrow’s leaders. Send a message to girls
that “You Promise” to support the Girl Scout program and her future
in Girl Scouting. Make your pledge today!
Council Shops:
The new Council Wide Community Service Learning Patches are now
available in the shops. The World Patch (a large round patch) is
$1.55 each and the two hands are $.55 each. (Please note: tax is
included.) Evaluations for the program are available on our website
or at the council service centers.
