[the following post comes from our good friend Jonathan]

The Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania Hazleton office has a new address. 

The office didn’t move, but the township has renumbered the buildings. 

Our property director has contacted the Post Office and they already recognize the new address. 

All mail addressed to the old address will automatically be corrected and delivered to us for one year.

The new address is as follows.

Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania

426 Airport Road

12 Beltway Commons

Hazle Township, PA 18202

The information on our web site under the “contact us” section has already been updated with this information.

The following good news comes from E. Lee Beard:

Girls CAN! group members, Marion Alexander, of Hummelstown, PA, (GSHPA board member) and Joy Dougherty, of New Cumberland, PA, (former Board Chair for Hemlock), shall co-chair a newly created Fund Development Committee.

Shirley Valentine-Attoh, Interim CEO, GSHPA, will take the staff support lead for this group.

 They have graciously agreed! 

Their first task is to put together the members of this new committee.  Anyone interested (and available), please let us know.  Marion and Joy will determine the best way to select committee members and the appropriate size of their committee.

It is most necessary that the Girls CAN! group step forward to help make this new venture successful.  We, the advisory group, know the council’s geography best for membership and fund resources.

This committee is expected to be very pro-active, and hands on.  In short, this group will work with management and staff to develop and help GSHPA implement the fund raising work we all need to be doing.  Our GSHPA board chair, Lee Beard, will ask staff to ensure that the Girls CAN! group be kept fully informed and made aware of where we can help with this important work.

 I am sure that most of us will want to volunteer for this, but please remember that submitting a name for the committee is not a guarantee that the candidate will be asked to serve on the committee – again, the size and scope of the group will be up to Marion and Joy.

Please reply to: geredas@aol.com , (Rod Gereda) if you want to take part in this important task.  I will forward your contact information to Marion, Joy, and Shirley for consideration.
