From desk of the Editor,

Leadership,friendship,honesty,integrity,self respect,workmanship,showmanship,and the spirit of team work,the Girl Scout way. Few things in life I like to brag about, and in rare moments you might hear me bragging about having to repeat biology and Shakespeare in college because I loved both subjects soooo much_well,not quite,a bit of an exaggeration.Yes,I liked both subjects even though it took a few tries to retain the important stuff and receive a passing grade from my Professors. Veritably, the lessons and experiences I learned during my college years has been invaluable. Likewise,the same remains true of the years I participated in the Girl Scouts,an invaluable experience that has stayed with me even until now in 2014. A fortitude of hope,optimism, and moral vicissitude to young girls of all ages, the Girl Scouts has been building character,teaching values, cultivating and imparting to Girl Scouts across the USA to be courageous. At the age forty-something, I know the importance of young girls being mentored, and being encouraged to dream and achieve ,a product of the public school system,I was surrounded with mentors. From educators to administrators,to school nurses,to clergy,news reporters,talk show personalities,athletes and local public official,I could as a public school student easily identify a mentor during those year. As the years progress, I grew to understand the importance of an empowering organization such as the Girls Scouts along with the importance of the significant contributions Girl Scouts across the globe has made to society . A brownie,a girl scout and a cadet for a few days,it has become within recent years a brag of sorts,for the most part, I am proud to have been a part of an organization that encourages girls to dream,to achieve and to be courageous. Recently,since becoming the Editor of the csaccac Newsletter, I began to go back a few years__and dig up my roots,meaning get in contact with my old girl scout troop. Although,I didn't have much success in getting the information I wanted, I reconnected with a Girl Scout alumni on Facebook,I also signed up and posted a profile on the Girl Scout alumnae page. While, I don't encourage brags_being a Girl Scout has been a brag that I think__is worth of bragging about to future Girl Scouts of America . As I reach the end of this note,I'd like to say Lots of love to Girl Scouts across the USA,also I'd like to thank the classmate who brought to class a few boxes of Girl Scout cookies to share with the class,Thanks for the Trefoils. In honor and recognition of National Women's History Month,this March,let's remember the Girl Scouts way.

Yours Truly
