| Girl Scouts represented at 2004 International
Quilt Festival |
Last fall, GSSJC participated in Houston’s
International Quilt Festival (IQF), the world’s largest
annual quilt show, sale and quilt making academy. The event,
held November 3-7, boasted participants from more than three
dozen different countries and set an all-time attendance record
of 53,989. Terri Winsauer, IQF volunteer coordinator and longtime
supporter of GSSJC, donated booth space  for
the Breast Cancer Awareness Committee to display quilts made
as part of the Patchwork Promise Patch Program. This is the
first year that the booth also proudly displayed pillows made
by Girl Scouts in conjunction with the GSSJC Have a Heart for
a Breast Cancer Patient Project. Many of the pillows were given
to breast cancer survivors who stopped by the booth to share
their inspirational stories throughout the weekend.
More than 30 GSSJC volunteers and staff
members gave their time to man the Girl Scout booth. Among them
was Sarah Jane A., a Senior Girl Scout who volunteered with
her mom, Jane. |
2004 Fall Product
Sales Wrap Up |
This year’s Fall Product Sale
had some interesting new results. Hot Cajun Crunch soared
to the top of the popularity chart while the new Chocolate
Covered Almonds in the Girl Scout collectible tin edged
out Double Dipped Chocolate Covered Peanuts for second
place. Butterflies proved to be very popular with the
girls as we received thousands of beautiful Karner Blue
coloring pages. Another new aspect of the sale was the
Holiday Combos, which have generated about 500 sales,
adding $2,500 to the $365,112 in troop bonuses earned
in the initial order. Troops will be enjoying all types
of activities and trips because of the support of the
sale.
Along with the fine volunteers listed below, there was
a dedicated Council committee headed by Carmen Delgado
and consisting of Lavinia Brown, Linda Burnett, Suzie
Cunningham, Angela English, Anne Grzanka, Cary Leonard,
Vicki Mireles, Laura Pemberton, Barbara Self, Amy Swanson,
and Mary Lou Wilson. Marianna Olivarez, Product Sales
coordinator, supported this group in their endeavors.
Their commitment to girls shines brightly in the work
they do for Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council.
While a big thank you goes out to all the girls, their
parents, leaders and troop Fall Product Sale managers,
special kudos go to the following service unit Fall
