S'more News - September 2018 Back-to-Troop!(clone) | Page 16

The GSSNE Alum Network brings together Girl Scouts who want to reconnect with old friends and make new ones though fun groups and events. We are building a culture of philanthropy and engagement through volunteer opportunities, both within Girl Scouting and our broader community.

By supporting (and joining) the GSSNE Alum Network, we as a council and as individuals can better reconnect with Alums/Volunteers of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place! There is no fiscal responsibility in joining the Alum Network, we simply wants to stay in touch and reconnect in whichever way(s) you choose.
