WAGGGS Special Days - via the WAGGGS Voice email list - plus Meetings, Trainings, our VTK, lots more.

An FYI: I now know that WAGGGS has special days already chosen for their campaigns and patches - - ahead of time.

Here they are:

20 June: World Refugee Day
12 August: Youth Day
11 October: International Day of the Girl
25 Nov – 10 December  16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

I hopefully will be adding these to the UNofficial Calendar page soon.

Q: Where is this page?

A: The UNofficial Calendar page is located at the top of the blog, top left, right under the orange title block.

  
A lot is going on right now - - everyone is getting ready for Area Association Meetings (The list is here with information) and also planning to (hopefully!) go to the Annual Meeting too.

The information about the Annual Meeting is here:
https://www.gskentuckiana.org/en/our-council/governance/annual-meeting.html - - be sure to attend to add your voice to the conversation!

Are you glad Cookie Selling Time is over now? (Well, guessing - - "sort of" - - now it's also Planning Time!) AND it's time for Early Birding!

It's also time to sign up for the Outdoor Training Weekend, and other Outdoor dates too, including one of the "Framily" camps!

Also, there is more info. on the 2017 National Council Session page too. More should be out soon.

The Volunteer Toolkit and More















I went to an in-person training for the Volunteer Tool Kit recently. Our fellow volunteer, Marsha, was the Trainer for it. It was great!

I saw that there will be another Volunteer Tool Kit training online later, and also Marsha will be giving more face to face trainings about it too. Thanks, Marsha!

Here is a copy of more Webinars coming up. I hope to take these too.
