APRIL 24: GSHS ANNUAL MEETING
Join GSHS as we vote on Council business, recognize girl achievements and honor our volunteers at The Orchard United Methodist Church, 1379 Coley Road, Tupelo, MS 38801.
New this year, we are requesting that each Service Unit send a minimum of two representatives. Please submit names to your Membership Manager by Friday, April 2.
Mini-Grants
The Annual Meeting is a vital part of the council's operation. Because of the importance of volunteer participation, GSHS is offering two one-time mini-grant opportunities to Service Units.
A mini-grant of $250 will be awarded to the Service Unit with the highest percentage of membership attending the Annual Meeting (qualifying age is 14 years, as set forth in the Council by-laws).
An additional mini-grant of $250 will be awarded to the Service Unit with the largest number of members (qualifying age is 14 years old, as set forth in the Council by-laws)
The mini-grants must be used by the winning Service Unit to fund a local community service project and reporting back to the council will be required.
