GSC
ALUMNAE
2019: A YEAR
IN REVIEW
This past year, the Girl Scouts of Citrus
Alumnae (GSC Alumnae) hosted a
variety of events with something
for everyone. In March, several GSC
Alumnae, along with family and friends,
sailed on the Rivership Barbara-Lee and
cruised along the St. Johns River. The
group also took part in the “Scouting
in America Exhibit” at the Lake Mary
Museum.
In May, the GSC Almunae had a special
event “Celebrating Women’s Fashion,
Bringing History to Life”, presented by
Leigh Anne Brown. Through Brown’s
wedding dress collection and personal
accounts, the audience was taken on a
journey through time, and learned how
women became empowered and free
to live their own lives throughout the
decades.
In July, the GSC Alumnae stepped into
the world of comedy, mystery and
intrigue at Sleuths Mystery Dinner Show.
Bunco was the “The Game of the Year”
and “Sweet Memories” were made at
Farris & Foster Chocolate workshop.
In November, 70 Alumnae members
enjoyed workshops, fun-filled activities
and fellowship at the Alumnae Weekend
Retreat at Mah-Kah-Wee.
PLAY HARD. WORK HARD.
Those were just a few of the fun
entertainment events the GSC
Alumnae took part in. However, the
GSA Alumnae also participated in a
range of service projects throughout
the year. These activities included a
weekly work-day at Riverpoint working
on a different project each week,
painting the yard fence at Pine Castle
Scout House, the “Flags In” at Cape
Canaveral Cemetery for Memorial Day,
labeling 12,000 candy canes for troops
to give out during Holiday Parades.
Some members helped Citrus Council
with completing Fall Product and
Cookie paperwork, prepping PR cookie
bags and baskets, and the occasional
task at Council Center.
TRAVEL AWAITS
In 2020, adventure awaits the GSC
Alumnae with a range of travel
destinations. In March a trip to
Cherokee, North Carolina to work with
the children on the Indian reservation.
A trip to Europe is scheduled for June
2021, but participants need to register
now to secure their spot and attend
planning meetings throughout 2020.
Plans are being finalized for a 3rd
Alumnae Cruise and the dates will be
