It’s All about the Girls! The Fall Rally

The Fall Sales Rally was a chance for Girl Scouts, parents, leaders and

the community to come together to help generate even more excitement

in the air than was already there for Fall Sales.

Below is a photo from an article in The Summerville Journal Scene.

These Daisy Girl Scouts could not be more adorable! They were perfect

to represent us in their small-town community newspaper.

Please welcome Communications Manager, Donna Lee. Donna is

a lifelong Charleston resident who joined us in mid-October. She

has a fun and vast network of political figures and movers and

SPECIAL TECHNOLOGY UPDATE

While we are waiting for a web re-design

initiative trickling down to councils from

GSUSA’s IT communications department, we

have secured and built a mobile website, as

our current site is not mobile friendly. There

is a reciprocal link on our full (desktop) site at

www.girlscoutsesc.org to our mobile site at

www.m.girlscoutsesc.mobi.

We have also begun to add a QR Code (quick

response) to the GSESC Paypal donation page

so that readers of our materials can easily,

securely give to us on the spot with just a click

of their smartphone. It’s an easy, fast,

convenient way to donate online.
