a note from Kate Crowley, Chair Elect
April 22, 2009
Here’s a note from Kate Crowley, Chair Elect:
Dear Girls CAN! member:
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. Presently I serve as Board Secretary for the Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, a position I have held since the council was created in May 2007. Prior to that, I served on the board of one of the legacy councils. I am truly honored to now be nominated to be the next GSHPA board chair. There is no doubt that we still have challenges ahead but with your help and ongoing passion for our organization and indeed, for all the girls we serve, we can meet those challenges head on.
The membership will consider the entire slate of nominations at the upcoming GSHPA Annual Meeting on Saturday, May 2, 2009. The event will be held at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds from 10:30 am until 3:00 pm. In addition to our business meeting, we are planning a reunion picnic lunch, a special adult volunteer recognition program, a bridging ceremony for graduating senior Girl Scouts, and of course lots of fun with friends and other loyal Girl Scout supporters like yourself.
So, won’t you consider joining us on May 2nd. Everyone on the board would be delighted to have you attend. A link to the registration form can be found at http://www.gshpa.org/home/delegate_info.html.
If you are unable to attend, we will certainly miss you but we promise to keep you apprised of all the exciting things going on with Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania!
Sincerely,
Kate Crowley
Chair-Elect

The following is from The Times Leader, Monday, March 03, regarding The Service for Peace Award. Community Advisory Network member Catherine Shaffer’s firm, cds creative, is being recognized for service to the community.
Service award to be presented to cds creative
WILKES-BARRE: cds creative, inc., Forty Fort, has been chosen as the recipient of the 2008 David Frey Community Service Award for its various community services and its annual create-a-thon, a 24-hour annual blitz of free professional services dedicated to non-profits.
The marketing services provided during the create-a-thon have included items such as fundraising campaign plans, logos, Web sites, posters, print ads and strategic branding plans. The clients of these nonprofit agencies benefit in an exponential manner and provide crucial services to the community.
The Interfaith Resource Center for Peace and Justice presents this award to an individual, or group, whose actions have contributed, either by direct support of the mission of The Peace and Justice Center, or by making a contribution to the community and to the civic or corporate cause of peace and justice.
The award will be presented at the group’s annual award dinner on April 14. Contact the Peace and Justice Center, 570-823-9977, for more information on the Peace and Justice Center’s Annual Award Dinner.
Just one more small example of Girl Scouts doing good work in the community!

Urbano’s Circus
performed by Richard Grunn
Inspired by Alexander Calder’s “Circus”, “Il Circo di Urbano”(Urbano’s Circus) is where art meets theatre. You will be amazed and entertained by these trash-constructed puppets as they perform their death defying and suspenseful acts. The show features Ivan the Iron-Clad Stomach, Clyde the Fearless Clown, and Boris the Elastic Acrobat. The Town Crier said, “The audience was soon cheering as these cleverly constructed puppets performed!”
$5, or give of yourself! Bring us a poem or a work of art. Refreshments served.
