Tickets for the virtual event and fundraiser are available at https://one.bidpal.net/gsle/welcome. Participants and sponsors may visit the site for details.
Power Our Promise will be emceed by Kweilyn Murphy.
Presented will be Dr. Jennifer Avegno as Outstanding Woman, Artis Williams, Outstanding Man; City Park New Orleans, Outstanding Organization; Dr. Sally Clausen, Jan Ross, Leslie Pichon and Carolyn Breaux, Women of Distinction; and Dr. Mary Ann Callais and Ava Dejoie, Four Pillars Award.
Girl Scouts Louisiana East asks the public to join in the recognition of the leaders who have made a positive impact on girls and young women across southeast Louisiana.
During the past several months, GSLE has been able to quickly adapt to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic by implementing Girl Scouting at Home, which supports virtual interactions with troops, the opportunity to earn badges virtually, chances to complete service projects to support those most impacted by the pandemic, and live programming and enrichment delivered via social media.
In these extraordinary times, now more than ever, GSLE needs to be both flexible and strong, remembering that our girls are depending on us to help them continue their Girl Scout journey, the GSLE news release states.
