Girl’s Own
We need YOU! We are getting ready to
“Paint the Town Green” in 2012! We are
looking for volunteer help in putting together
a complete day of “Girl’s Own” activity
stations for Saturday, May 5, 2012 as
part of the 100th Anniversary Celebration
in Charleston. Volunteers are needed to
do the pre-planning of all activity stations,
which will fall into certain themes or
“zones” that will be decided by the planning
committee. This group of people
will help to decide what to offer and do a
lot of brainstorming. In addition, we need
“woman power” to run pre-planned activity
stations the day of the event. Conference
calls have already begun for the
brainstorming process but will continue
throughout the school year. We need
more volunteers! If you are interested in
being a part of the planning committee or
just helping the day of the event, please
contact Mary Roberge at mary.roberge@
bdgsc.org or 888-243-6202.

trainers to work with the Volunteer
Services to write this training. We are also
looking for volunteer trainers to offer their
training services in scheduled shifts during
the weekend event.
Event Volunteer Hospitality
Ensuring that volunteers are comfortable,
well supported and taken care of is an
important part of volunteer satisfaction,
performance and retention. We are appreciative
of volunteers who take time out
of their personal and professional lives to
offer their unique services to Girl Scouts.
We are looking for five to ten volunteers
to organize all hospitality services for the
Paint the Town Green event volunteers.
This is a special position, as it requires
positive energy and a friendly smile to
take care of the needs of our event volunteers.
100th Anniversary Event
