Call to Action for ALL Girl Scouts

 The City of San Antonio has embarked on a lengthy process to develop a strategic plan for the community. SA
2020 is a four-to six-month community-wide visioning process that launched in September 2010. The final report will be officially released for public review and comment on Saturday, March 19 from 11:00 a.m. to noon at UTSA's downtown campus. GSSWT and CEO, Anna Maria Chávez (aka Eagle1) would love to have a TON of Girl Scouts present in uniform for this historic event. Please consider gathering your troops and/or other Girl Scout families to attend this event to show the community that the leadership skills girl's develop through participation in Girl Scouts is essential to the continued prosperity of our community. Learn more about SA 2020 and RSVP for the event on March 19 here. FREE BBQ lunch to follow! Questions? Contact Stephanie Finleon, Chief Communications Officer (210-349-2404 ext. 230). |
