the following comes from Anne M. Reitzes, M.Ed., areitzes@gshpa.org:

Hello,

I know you have expressed interest in the Gold Award Recognition process.  I would like to invite you to serve as a member of the Gold Award Scholarship Review Committee.  It involves reviewing applications and selecting the Gold Award Scholarship winners.  

Committee members should plan to review copies of the applications then attend one Gold Award Scholarship Review Committee Meeting.  Copies of each application will be available to you prior to the Gold Award Scholarship Review Committee Meeting so that you may become familiar with this year’s applications, then we will come together as a group to select this year’s scholarship winners.  It is necessary that we have our final selections decided by the end of May, so that the girls may be recognized at the June 8^th Gold Award Celebration.  Invitations to the June 8^th Gold Award Celebration will be sent to you.  

I would like to gather a bit of info from each of you to ensure that the process meets your needs.  Please get back in touch with me as soon as you are able to, but no later than May 9^th with this information:

1)      Would you still be interested in participating this year in the Gold Award Scholarship Review process?

2)      Would you prefer that our group meets in the evening on May 28^th or May 29^th?

3)      Would you prefer that we meet in the Harrisburg area or Pine Grove area (around exit 100 on 81)?  These locations seem to be the most centrally located for those interested in this process.  

We have received quite a few applications for this year’s scholarships.  Are you prepared to be extremely impressed by the caliber of the applications?  Each time I participate in this process, I am more amazed than the last time!  I look forward to serving on this committee with you.  

Sincerely,

Anne

It is that great time of year when we get together to discuss and review the Girl Scout scholarship applications.  Your contact information was provided to me because you indicated an interest in participating in the GSHPA Scholarship process.  I hope that you are still interested in being a part of this process.
