Greetings!
It's the holiday season and Girl Scouts are out in the community making your gift count! All year you've supported girls and helped them develop a love of service - and we see that more during the holidays than ever!
Troop 4044 invited Girl Scout sisters from their Service Unit to participate in a new project - "Cookies & Kindness,"
Service Unit 678 adopted a fire pit to keep clean at Cedar Park and two new troops -
Troop 3113 and Troop 4162 joined Daisy's Circle!
These stories of giving back show the POWER of YOUR GIFT - THANK YOU!
This season we challenge YOU to make a New Years Resolution to give back, just like the Girl Scouts you support. You can join our Power of 52 Challenge and challenge yourself to give 52 hours of community service in 2019! When you come together with girls, we can do incredible things for the GSKSMO community!
Thank you for supporting

Investing in the Future of Girls
#GivingTuesday Match Donors - The Van Blaricum Family
|
"In Girl Scouts, parents invest with more than just financial gifts, they give of their time too. It all is an investment in the program and we're thrilled to see the response of parents willing to help with our troops. So many parents find ways to invest and we're thrilled to invest for Giving Tuesday."
- Mark Van Blaricum
Meet the Van Blaricum family - Mark, Jackie, Julia (5th grade Junior) & Sylvie (3rd grade Brownie)! This generous family made a matching gift of $5,000 to our #GivingTuesday campaign, helping us raise a total of $22,365.75! This incredible family not only made a gift to help support a program their daughters love, they've supported Girl Scouts through volunteerism and as a Community Partner! The Van Blaricum's own a food truck called "Pita For Good" that has offered unique Girl Scout programming. This is a great example of a Girl Scout family that sees the value in the wide-range of experiences only Girl Scouts can offer their daughters! We send a huge THANK YOU to the Van Blaricum's for standing up for girls this Giving Tuesday!

WOW! Way to go, Girl Scouts of Service Unit 648!
