100 Women Strong Hold Organizational Meeting
Members of 100 Women Strong met in August to discuss group
goals as well as review requirements of membership. Betsy
Plymate was selected as this year's chairperson with Mary Pat
Williams overseeing the American Girl Tea function in the spring,
and Susan Kent organizing the Fall Fashion Show "Girls Night
Out" coming up Oct. 26. All members present decided to also
host a Spring Salad Luncheon at the center in 2011.
100 Women Strong is in its 4th year of existence. As a member
of the organization, each woman donates $100 per year to Girls
Inc. along with 12 hours of volunteer time doing such things as
helping with homework, tutoring, or organizing one of the many
fundraisers throughout the year.
New recruits are wanted to reach the goal of 100 women
participating! If you know someone or are someone who could
be a good fit, please call the center at 392.1190 today!
Have You Heard of Girls Inc. Girl of the Month?
Each month, we honor a select few members of Girls Inc. who
exemplify our mission! Three girls (picked by grade level) are
chosen by staff each month based on active participation in
after-school programs, having a good attendance record, and
generally having a great and helpful attitude.
When chosen as Girl of the Month, participants are included in
special activities including helping in the snack bar after school
and being honored with her picture posted in the main hallway at
the center and on the website homepage! Each girl wears a
"Girl of the Month" badge as well after school.
We encourage all members to keep in mind the honor of being
Girl of the Month and always be STRONG, SMART, AND BOLD!
