I hope things are going well this summer. I'll bet you are all excited about the new year.
We have some neat changes going on, and our Staff is getting ready for them all this week, and probably discussing the Fall too, when hopefully we add LOTS of girls and new Volunteers and Leaders.
UNofficial CALENDAR DATES
The UNofficial Calendar has been updated.
The link is here: http://eblast17.blogspot.com/p/unofficial-ky-and-gs-calendar-area-17.html. A reminder: this link is accessed through this blog, so if a person is not accessing through the blog, they probably can't see it.
Some new dates are added all the time - - the latest are the new Training Calendar dates we have so far. OFFICIAL Dates are located at the MYGS area at the GS of Kentuckiana website.

It is the All Things Girl Scouts blog, written by Danielle Poenisch. She has lots of Girl Scout leader tips, plus craft ideas, patch links, and more. This blog and the others are very fun to check out.

THE ALUMNAE GROUP AT THE GS OF KENTUCKIANA
Are you an Alum of the GS of Kentuckiana? Sign up to get updates and be on their list. They have a new form to do this with (really not so new, but new to me! From 2013), called the Alumni Outreach Form. I am posting it to the UNofficial KYANA page today. That link is here on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/KYANA.GS/ - - just look on the posting stream OR access this file from the Files section there.
ORDER OF THE SILVER TREFOIL
Have you been in Girl Scouting a long time? Check out the Silver Trefoil group too. Details are here on this page: https://www.gskentuckiana.org/en/donate/alumnae-association.html.
LET OUR INTERIM GSUSA NATIONAL CEO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
The time is NOW to let our Interim CEO know what you think. What would YOU do if you were CEO of GSUSA National? The following is from the KYANA Unofficial blog:
"Here is a message from our Interim CEO, Sylvia Acevedo, on the official GSUSA blog. http://blog.girlscouts.org/2016/07/what-if-you-were-ceo.html.
Ms. Acededo has read this article from Ann Robertson at the GS History Project! https://gshistory.com/2016/07/26/if-i-were-ceo-of-gsusa/ - - so please go as soon as you can, and comment on both postings, especially the first one.
I think our Interim GSUSA CEO will read our comments!
Speak up - - and speak out - - on what YOU would do if you were CEO - - what does Girl Scouting NEED right now?
Go, Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana volunteers and staff. One.... two... three... go!!"
Have a great rest of the summer!
I will try to do another posting soon though... Send me what you would like to see, or comment below.
