August 31, 2023
GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK (AUGUST 2023) — Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) honored Garden City residents Cira Rom and Jacqueline Rovelli at its 2023 Annual Adult Recognitions Award Ceremony and Dinner. The annual event, which was held at Stewart Manor Country Club, recognizes and celebrates the adult volunteers who go above and beyond for their service to Girl Scouts of Nassau County and to their communities. Ms. Rom and Ms. Rovelli were among 100 honorees throughout Nassau County.
“Girl Scouts of Nassau County could not thrive without the hard work, commitment and support of all our community volunteers. Each honoree recognized at our Adult Recognitions Award Ceremony and Dinner has made a significant impact on our organization and help shape the Girl Scout experience for the girls we serve. Thanks to their contributions, we are able to continue building girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place,” said Randell Bynum, the CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County.
Cira Rom was awarded the GSUSA Appreciation Pin for her exemplary service in support of delivering the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE). Ms. Rom has run the cookie program for her troop for 10 years and runs the cookie program for two other troops. She keeps the Girl Scouts engaged by setting up booth sales and other opportunities for all three troops throughout Girl Scout Cookie Season. She is an advocate for everyone in Girl Scouts and embodies the Girl Scout mission.
Jacqueline Rovelli earned the GSNC Longevity Pin for her longstanding leadership, championing the Girl Scouts in her troop from Daisies all the way through Ambassadors and providing them with a comprehensive Girl Scout experience. Ms. Rovelli has run her daughter’s troop for 12 years and has helped troops throughout Garden City by running events, mentoring other leaders, managing locations for troop meetings and serving as a role model for girls and volunteers throughout the Girl Scout community.
