Hello, Girl Scout Friends!Keeping it Virtual! This is Betsy Sheppard, posting after a Spring Break full of posting on many types of FB pages and getting used to ordering food online. (!)
I hope you are all doing well, my favorite and treasured Girl Scout readers.
What have I been doing? Well, going walking with my husband Rickey (as we are At Home most days...), cooking a LOT more, ordering food online, listing books and collectibles, keeping up with the news, going through things and boxes, ordering seeds, getting Taxes done, and lots more.
I hope you all are keeping safe.
I have wanted to post here at the Unofficial GS News site, ever since March. Since I have been sharing Event Dates with these blog postings, since they started changing, my regular Calendar Posting for the Spring season did not happen. However, some other dates, events, and other fun things are still happening in the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana, so those of you NOT on Facebook may not have all these. I will share some. I will add other links at the bottom and throughout this blog today.

SHARING... How we all can support our Council.
We have a special Tuesday giving day coming up this Tuesday. Here is a copy of the FB posting from GSK - with a little added on to it.
And (for those who can) - - you can also give just a little or even a lot more, because our the Girl Scout girls need our support. Thank you ahead of time!
Via the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana page: "Now, more than ever, our Girl Scout community stands together to support each other and the community at large. More than ever, the Girl Scouts need your help. Mark your calendar now for #GivingTuesdayNow on May 5th and please make a donation to Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana. We won’t turn away a girl who wants join Girl Scouts, regardless of her ability to pay, so know that your gift will go directly to a girl to help cover her membership fees. Please check out the video message from Maggie Harlow as she shares what Girl Scouting means to her." I tried to share this, hopefully it will go to the link below...

Wouldn't it be great to have a GSK Giving Record? I hope this happens.
