It’s an Easter Egg Hunt for all Hastings and Prescott Girl Scouts and their families! The hunt will begin at 10:00 a.m. sharp and will be held rain, snow, wind or shine. Please bring a basket for your egg collection. Call Jennifer at 651-438-0091 or e-mail at the5jacksons@embarqmail.com with questions.

Eco Club
Hastings Middle School recently received a grant to educate middle school students (and their families) about environmental issues such as waste reduction, recycling, and composting. As part of this project, they are in the process of identifying student leaders to work with the Eco Club advisor, Ed Muniak. I’m not sure of the details, but I believe the club will meet weekly and work on various activities and events.
Please promote this awesome opportunity to all Hastings Middle School girls in your troops. Girls can participate individually, or as a troop. I’m sure the activities would very easily match up with the “It’s Your Planet, Love It” Leadership Journey curriculum, or even as part of a Silver Award project!
Questions? Please contact Allen Saunders, Assistant Principal at 651-480-7067 or asaunders@hastings.k12.mn.us. Please copy me on email communications so I am in the loop.

| President Obama Signs Girl Scouts Commemorative Coin Act! Girl Scouts Join President In Oval Office As He Signs Bill Into Law. |
| |
|
On Thursday, October 29, 2009 President Barack Obama signed the Girl Scouts of the USA Commemorative Coin Act authorizing the minting of 350,000 silver dollar coins in honor of Girl Scouts and the achievements of the 50 million women across the nation whose lives have been influenced by Girl Scouting.
This legislation enjoyed strong bipartisan support, with more than 300 cosponsors in the House, and more than 70 cosponsors in the Senate. The measure passed unanimously in both the House and Senate earlier this month.
The Girl Scouts Centennial Commemorative Coin will be minted in 2013, marking the end of the celebration of our first 100 years and the beginning of our second century of leadership. Ten dollars from the sale of each coin will go to GSUSA to help fund much-needed renovations at the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace in Savannah, Georgia. The bill also calls for the Secretary of the Treasury, in collaboration with the GSUSA and the Commission of Fine Arts, to design the coin in a manner "emblematic of the centennial of Girl Scouts."
This victory would not have happened without your support. Through your efforts, more than 40,000 messages were sent to Members of Congress asking for their support. Thanks to each of you, we are poised to have a Girl Scouts commemorative coin to celebrate 100 years of Girl Scouting!
Please continue to ask Girl Scout supporters to join the Girl Scouts Advocacy Network at GirlScouts4girls.org to become part of a collective voice in Congress on issues that impact girls and Girl Scouting. |
