Hello and Welcome to GSNWGL!
I am so pleased to welcome you to our new council.

  As we continue building the new framework that will be the foundation of our ability to serve
  girls,I want to share some thoughts with you.

You, our volunteers and donors, are the heart and muscle of this organization. 

We don’t yet have all of the new systems in place, but are working as quickly as possible to get our new and improved support structures in place for you.  We are all working very hard on your behalf at all six service centers, and will continue to update you as frequently as possible. We are heading in the right direction and proud to have you as a partner in this work.

Let’s continue to look to the future and dream of all of our new possibilities for girls.

  I promise to work hard for you, to focus on getting systems in place to better support your
  work with girls. We are a team, and we have the opportunity here to dream of every possibility.

  Here are a couple of things for you to know:

  1. The staff you know and love at each service center are here to assist you, and will do everything they can to make the transition to their new, more focused roles as seamless as possible.
  2. Current emergency procedures in each service area will be supported until further notice

  I will continue to communicate as we have information to share and issues to address.

  Thank you for being part of the GSNWGL team, and remember to find a reason to smile
  every day!

Mary Charles
CEO
