2008 Annual Angeles Girl Scout Council

       Adult Volunteer Recognition Banquet     

Please join the celebration of

The Legacy of Angeles Girl Scout Council Volunteers

April 17, 2008

Volunteers are the foundation of the Girl Scouting program.

Annually, Angeles Girl Scout Council offers an Adult Volunteer Recognition Banquet to publicly honor outstanding volunteers and organizations / businesses who have significantly contributed to enriching the lives of each girl.

Invitations will be sent to all registered adult volunteers towards the beginning of March.

We could not exist without the support of all dedicated and giving individuals who provide time, energy, leadership, fun, encouragement, resources and opportunities to all of our girls.

Who deserves recognition? Any volunteer whose service goes above and beyond, who exceeds expectations, whose contributions are significant, and is a model of outstanding performance.
