PROGRAM:  
Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania: Today and Tomorrow in York County
With a laser focus on giving girls the tools they need to be tomorrow’s civic leaders, STEAM professionals, entrepreneurs and whatever they can dream, Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania (GSHPA) is poised to deliver life-changing opportunities to over 13,500 girls across 30 counties in Pennsylvania. Join GSHPA’s virtual presentation from President and CEO, Janet Donovanto learn how GSHPA is leveraging innovation and community commitment to impact York County – today through Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Projects and tomorrow by exposing Girl Scouts to local innovation to fill the STEM pipeline in South Central PA. More than cookies, camps, and crafts, the robust program model allows a Girl Scout to explore her interest and make an impact – much like Rotary International’s motto of service above self. Leave this presentation with an up to date understanding of Girl Scouting today and tomorrow in York County, and why it’s important for Rotarians and the community to continue to invest in Girl Scouts’ learning, discovery and success.

TREE PLANTING!  
On Saturday, May 2, 2020, fifteen trees were planted at the York City Welcome Triangle across from the WellSpan York Hospital by the PRESERVE PLANET EARTH COMMITTEE, family and friends. The trees included a variety of species ranging from October Glory, White Oak, Service Berry, Red Maple, and Black Gum Trees. The planting teams dug the holes, removed rocks, bricks and concrete, and then mulched the individual tree planting locations and the welcome center stone area and water feature.  Thanks to Rotarian Brian Mummert of W S Landscape Services who procured the trees and provided the mulch. A special thank you to the Garden Club of York for their shared financial support of this project.
