Hello ,
We've been BUSY!!! As you can see from this newsletter - chock full of good news! - the
month of May brought us to people and places that value the education
and information our Daisy Wheels bring to girls worldwide! There is something for everyone in this newsletter - including Dads and Grads! - check out the Clout Card, which donates $10 to GIT for every membership; come to our Bead for Life party and help lift African women and children out of poverty; and be sure to check out One Meaning's Daisy Drive for GIT! Our Girls' Program & Daisy Wheels have rolled into 28 states, Washington, D.C., and 13 countries - and our goal is to be in all 50 states by the end of this year! We're looking forward to the National Association of School Nurses Conference later this month in Chicago to meet with thousands of school nurses...see you in the Windy City! Hope Lives!
