| HELPING THE SURVIVORS OF HURRICANE
KATRINA
The October issue of The Golden Link went to press
shortly after the disaster on the Gulf Coast. Girl Scouts
of San Jacinto Council wants to do everything it can to assist
those affected by Hurricane Katrina. As you may be aware,
the Girl Scout Center is a neighbor of the Red Cross on Southwest
Freeway. GSSJC
has offered the Red Cross the use of the 3000 Southwest Freeway
building to use for non-perishable storage and are working
with them on other ways to assist the effort. You may be aware
of other ways to help in your community. Please feel free
to support your local efforts – the GSSJC
web site (www.gssjc.org)
has some suggested ways to help.
PUT YOUR BEST FACE FORWARD patch program
with Clinique is on hold for the next school year. Watch for
its return in late 2006! Thank you for understanding.
