International Women's Day with Ten Thousand Villages
International Women's Day is on March 8th! We are thrilled to be working with our friends at Ten Thousand Villages in Overland Park, Kansas to celebrate this important day for women around the world. And, Ten Thousand Villages invites all our Girl Scouts to come help with a powerful project. Customers will help create a simple paper chain project... asking customers to write the name of a woman in their life that has made them stronger on a strip of colorful, handmade paper (made from elephant dung!) then attaching it to a paper chain that they will drape throughout the store. A vibrant visual of our collective strength! We would love to see lots of Girl Scout voices on that powerful paper chain!
And, maybe pick up an item or two while you are in the store. If you shop on March 8th - 11th, you can say you are shopping for Girl Scouts. 15% of each transaction will be donated back to our work in supporting girls across our 47 counties. We hope you will take part in this special activity!
You can also always book your troop for their ongoing program activity!
