Commissioned Art Quilt from Jamie Fingal for my niece
"As some of you already know, on Saturday morning, the girls that were working the Basha’s cookie booth had a very special secret shopper arrive at their booth. This shopper was none other than Debbie Rich, the CEO of Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona. She was very impressed with the booth, the girls, and our hard work as a troop. She donated $5 towards cookies for the troops and handed each of the 3 girls working a special patch and a rubber bracelet. She then capped off her visit with an invitation for any/all of the girls in our troop that are interested to attend the Centennial Celebration with her at the AZ Capital building on Monday, March 12, 2012!! This is quite an honor!!" Shawn Brown, Cadette Troop Leader #1852, Tucson, Arizona
Okay, Aunt Ann's time to brag!! My niece, Kim, is in a new Girl Scout troop, and it sounds like she is lovin' it! My sister said that these Cadette girls are waaaay excited as they sell their cookies. They have made-up cookie songs they sing, and they practice good saleswomanship techniques to upsell and get the buyers excited. The CEO from their council sure appreciated it!!
What a great thing for the CEO to do: to take the time to secret shop and then reward the girls on the spot. This fits in with what we're calling our "attitude of gratitude" that we want to promote within the council year round for all volunteers and staffers and girls. I'm co-chairing the Adult Recognition Awards Committee with staffer Shellie Massick, and this CEO hit on the type of thank yous we're promoting: do it well, do it often and make it meaningful! Don't wait til the Annual Adult Recognition event! Say thank you, great job, now!
(It sounds like Kim went to the Centennial Celebration in Phoenix on the
12th. What a great experience for her, and for all the other girls who
attended as well. As I'm writing this before the actual event, I'll
have to follow up in another post about what really happened!)
