Garden City, NY October 23, 2008 – Are you a past Girl Scout who has fond memories of sitting around a campfire, making new friends, and eating S’mores all while singing Girl Scout songs? Or maybe you’re an adult who always wanted to be a Girl Scout, but never had the opportunity to do so? Now’s your chance to help other girls in your community experience the fun of Girl Scouting by donating to the Girl Scouts of Nassau County today!
“The cost to serve just one girl a year is $207,” said Donna Ceravolo, Executive Director, Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “We count on community support to be able to help as many girls as possible in Nassau County join our organization to make memories, form friendships and learn skills that will certainly last a lifetime.”
