You Can Be Anything! As many of you know, each year I have a President and CEO patch designed to give to the girls I meet. My patches are based on stories from my sons. Each son, who are now grown men, decided what they felt was one of the most important life lessons I have taught them. They said if the lesson was good enough for them, they would also be good for the girls. My first patch, from my oldest son, Benjamin, who now has a daughter of his own, is “Make Wise Choices.” Spencer, my second son, remembers me always telling him “It is important to look in the mirror and like who he sees looking back,” so this message became my second patch. My third son, Brooks, suffered with a physical disability as a young boy. He learned it was best to “Be Kind” even if others were not kind to him. He was very clear that his patch would be the “Be Kind” patch. That brings me to my newest patch. Christian, my stepson, was excited to get his own patch. When I first met him, he was very shy. He was always encouraged to try and experience everything life had to offer to help him get over his shyness and find his passion. Due to this encouragement he is now pursuing his dream of being a rock star – because he can be anything! This program book provides countless opportunities for girls to make choices, like the girl they are becoming, be kind in their service to others and realize they can be anything. I hope everyone who uses this great book discovers the world around them, connects with what they are passionate about and takes action to make a difference in the world. Yours In Girl Scouting!

Welcome to the Walks through History tour of the Lake Village Commercial Historic District! The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 2011 for its association with the commercial development of Lake Village and for its collection of early 20th century commercial-style architecture. Thank the Lake Village Chamber of Commerce for co-sponsoring the tour and providing water/cookies. Also thank Connee Luttrell, Lynn Brogdon, Linda Haddock, David Gillison, and Libby Borgognoni for their help gathering information for the tour. Lakeport—tell them about tour after lunch and thank Blake Wintory for opening the house today. Explain the National Register—at least 50 years old, retains integrity, and significant under one or more of the criteria. How to get a commercial district listed—have at least 51% of the properties within the boundary “contributing” to the historic significance of the district, meaning 2 they meet the NR criteria.
