Cookie CEO Luncheon
Vulcan Park, Birmingham
May 14, 2016                     
11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Girls who sell 1,500 packages or more have earned the distinction of being a Cookie CEO. Like high powered CEOs of major companies, our girls are entitled to special privileges. The day will start by walking the carpet of success into a private luncheon with the CEO of Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama and distinguished guests who will share their secrets to success. Cookie CEOs will leave the luncheon with swag bags, earned rewards and maybe a few items for their family to enjoy a day of sightseeing in Birmingham.
 
S.A.M.O.A Luau  
May 22 at Camp Trico
June 4 at KPC
Time is TBA
All successful sales people need some rest and relaxation! Girls who sell 500 packages or more will be invited to attend the S.A.M.O.A Luau. We are doing it Girl Scout-style with outdoor adventures, dancing, singing and relaxing in the pool.

Our council shops will be open this Saturday, February 20 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stop by in Birmingham or Huntsville to get all your necessary Girl Scout Cookie gear! Don't live near one of our shops? Give us a call!
