Girl Scout Cookie Rally in Currituck
Cadette Girl Scout Katie Tulowiecki guides Brownie Girl Scout Amina Jennings through a craft featuring recycled materials at the Girl Scout Cookie Rally in Currituck held on January 9. Older girls gain valuable leadership experiences through Girl Scout activities that require them to help younger Girl Scouts. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls also get the chance to lead and become cookie entrepreneurs by setting goals and creating business plans to help them reach those goals.
Brownie Girl Scout Kristi Costello and Junior Girl Scout Keimyrah Jones helped each other make a vest out of a recycled paper bag at the Currituck Cookie Rally on January 9. During the rally, the girls shared selling techniques and got excited about door-to-door order taking, which is going on now. Kristi and Keimyrah are both excited to start selling Girl Scout cookies. "Each year I work really hard to sell by going to my neighbors," says Keimyrah. Kristi says she loves Girl Scouts because she gets to "do fun stuff!"

| Experience OBX Festival
G&W Events is currently seeking local non-profit organizations and businesses to participate in the first annual Experience OBX festival, an Outer Banks oriented event that will bring together locals, tourists, businesses, and non-profits to educate, inform and entertain visitors. The event will take place every Tuesday between Memorial Day and Labor Day at historic Roanoke Island Festival Park in Manteo, NC.
"The success of the festival is solely dependant on the response we receive from local businesses and non-profits," explains event founder Jessica Galvanek. "The potential to increase the exposure of your business or cause and to gain potential customers or donors is immense. We are fortunate to have spent many summers together as a family in the Outer Banks, and now, we are trying to give back to the community by hosting this event and hopefully stimulating the local economy."
G&W Events invites all OBX area non-profits to join them on their choice of festival days at absolutely zero cost. All non-profit participants will receive a 10' x 10' exhibit space and tent, a display table, exposure on the event's website, and a portion of all sponsorship fees collected on participating days. The event also gives non-profits an excellent stage to present their cause and obtain donations from visitors.
G&W Events has started to send letters to local non-profits further detailing the benefits of free participation. If you have not already received information about Experience OBX but would like to participate in the festival, please visit www.ExperienceOBX.com or email contact@experienceobx.com.
