The Girl Scouts - Five Star Council’s Annual Meeting started the afternoon of Saturday April 21, 2007. A threat of severe storms to come later in the day didn’t dampen the spirits of the representation from three counties in Oklahoma, three counties in Kansas, as well as the Texas panhandle counties. The South Exhibit Hall of the Amarillo Civic Center held a packed crowd to mark the 95th anniversary of the organization.
A Flag procession started the Opening Ceremony followed by recognition
for the top cookie sellers, awards for the outstanding girls and
adults, and appreciation for supporters. Booths displaying resources
in our community and activities for the girls were a big hit.
Participating organizations consisted of: National Weather Service,
Golden Spread Gem & Mineral Society, Amarillo Museum of Art,
Wildcat Bluff Nature Center, Amarillo Botanical Gardens, Managed Care
Center/Prevention Resource Center, Don Harrington Discovery Center,
Potter County Sheriff’s Department, All American Gymnastics, Panhandle
AHEC, American Quarter Horse Association, and the Texas Bicycle
Coalition. The enthusiasm of the Scouts was not outshined by the
leader’s interests in the activities.
Thank you Girl Scouts - Five Star council for the Certificate of
Appreciation to the Texas Bicycle Coalition as recognition of valuable
participation in “Girl Scout Day”. Local Outreach Coordinators
Cunningham and Martinez wish to thank the Girl Scouts for this award
and the opportunity to help “build girls of courage, confidence, and
character, who make the world a better place”.
