MOVE OVER LEGISLATURE:
GIRL SCOUTS HEAD TO TRENTON
Members
from all 11 New Jersey Girl Scout Councils including a four-person
delegation from the Girl Scouts of Washington Rock Council, headed to
the state capital on March 15 to take part in New Jersey Girl Scout
Councils Legislative Advocacy Day. The day began was a panel
discussion featuring Assemblywomen Linda Stender and Jennifer Beck
along with gubernatorial staffers Debbie Mans and Maggie Moran. All
four women were former Girl Scouts and spoke about how their
experiences in the movement has shaped them. Stender, a Fanwood
resident, will be honored by GSWRC at its 50th Anniversary
Celebration to be held on April 24 at the Galloping Hill Inn in Union.
Following another panel discussion and lunch, the action shifted to
the floor of the Assembly as Majority Leader Bonnie Watson-Coleman and
Assemblywoman Stender presented GSWRC CEO Donna M. Dolce, representing
all 11 New Jersey councils, with a proclamation.
Founded in 1957, GSWRC enthusiastically and capably delivers the
optimal Girl Scout experience to over 11,000 girls and adults in 24
communities. For more information on their 50th
Anniversary along with much, much more be sure to point your web

SIDEBARLaughs
Those who grew-up in
Morris County, NJ are probably familiar with the AT&T training facility in
Chester that truly is a sght to see. The facility actually treats the logs
used in making telephone poles with the preservative compound to make them
weather and pest proof. Now, imagine a field of these poles standing
upright in unseen vats so that their tops are just a few feet above ground.
I remember being told by my folks that that was where telephone poles were
born, and the little ones were "just babies that would grow up to be big and
strong like their parents."
It was always a neat place to drive past with your kids to tell them of the
"urban legend" about where telephone poles came from.
A good friend who grew up in the area told me about the time his now
grown-up son was driving by the area and matter-of-factly explained to his
girlfriend about the birthplace of telephone poles and other myths
which he actually believed "because his dad told him so."
You could imagine the look on that girl's
face when she realized that her boyfriend was not kidding...he meant and
believed every word of it.
And if you don't believe it..go ask the Easter Bunny!. :)
