Pima Neighborhood Girl Recognition Event

Pima Neighborhood

Girl Recognition Event

Wednesday, May 2, 7-8 pm
Laguna Elementary Cafeteria

Pima is proud to host its fourth girl recognition event. If you have girls who have earned the Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award, have hosted a neighborhood event, or are seniors in high school, please invite them to this event. This is an opportunity for you to present their awards (that you have purchased) or to publicly acknowledge their accomplishments. Pima will provide flowers for high school bridgers, as well as Silver and Gold Award recipients, as well as a reception for girls and their supporting troops and families.

Girls who have earned their Gold Award should plan to bring their gold notebook and board to the event.

If you have a girls who are in eighth, tenth, or twelfth grade, they may bridge at this event.  All girls will bridge together with girls from other troops in their grade.  Please send me a list of names of girls who are bridging. 

This is a formal, "uniform" event.  Please ask your girls to wear white shirts and black bottoms plus a vest or sash.

For the program, I need the following:

• Troop #
• Correct spelling of all girls' names
• A list of awards.  We recognize "metal" awards earned in since the beginning of the current Girl Scout year (October 1, 2017). "Metal" awards include Presidential Service Awards, service bars and leadership torches, as well as the Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards.  If you wish to recognize other accomplishments, please check with Diana.  
• A complete record of neighborhood event volunteer service to the neighborhood by each girl

You may also email this information to pima.neighborhood@gmail.com

Deadline for submission is April 25
Absolutely NO Exceptions
