According to Girls on the Run Council Director Sara Jacobs-Carter, Coach Louise Bergman was a season-saver this summer. Coach Louise spent hours conducting inventory of all the leftovers from previous seasons, and organizing what we need for the upcoming season.  She coped beautifully with a general lack of storage/office space, and stuffed 250+ envelopes with game pieces, bingo cards, certificates, lap counters, and scrap paper.  She also spearheaded the Coach Bin Assembly Day and kept the other volunteers organized and moving so quickly that the bins were stuffed in half the scheduled time. Coach Louise is getting ready to lead her third team of very lucky Girls on the Run!   

thought I could give some time to the GOTR program. I introduced myself to our team as Coach Weezy, sharing that having asthma since I was a young girl is part of who I am, but that it hasn't stopped me from running!   

Then I got to work with loving, iron-willed Coach Sue Williams, now a Shelterhouse employee; got to know some great young girls and their parents; and observed our fantastic Council Director, Sara JC in action! How could I not want to be a Coach in the spring, and now for the upcoming fall season!? I'm blessed to be a part of all this -- welcomed as "Coach Weezy" in the neighborhood of Plymouth Elementary School!   

It's an awesome opportunity to share healthy-whole-life skills with eager young girls becoming strong, lovely young women! As one of our favorite cheers goes, "Girls on the Run is so much fun!"
