  • Annual Report 2015
    201520 Annual Report 20201520 OUR 1515BEST From the Board Chair & CEO For generations, Girl Scouts has taught girls and young women to do their best and to live each day by the values in our Girl Scout Law. These values are as relevant today as when our movement was founded in 1912. Each and every day, across our 21 counties, volunteer leaders help girls learn to be honest and fair, responsible, respectful, friendly, courageous and a sister to every Girl Scout as they do their part to make the world a better place. As a council, we continue to strengthen and adapt and our use of new technology best illustrates our progress. This year saw the launch of Digital Cookie, providing our Girl Scouts with one more avenue for developing the five business skills learned as part of the cookie program. This helped more girls achieve their goals and Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas ranked 15th in highest sales across the nation! We also improved our volunteer experience by launching our first of several online trainings. The Money Manager online course has resulted in more than 300 volunteers being trained at their convenience to hold this important position in their troop or service unit. Our progress will continue in 2016 when we rollout Girl Scouts of the USA’s integrated technology platform for caregivers and volunteers that will provide them with the resources they need – when and how they need it – to provide a nationally consistent high-quality leadership experience for all Girl Scouts. By investing in girls, our donors make Girl Scouting available to thousands each year.

  • Construction Has Begun!!
    HOME NEWS Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio, Texas, Inc. Volume 38, Issue No. 34, 2018 Why We Do What We Do By, Heather Bivin February 25, 2005 is probably just another date to most of us. However, for one mother, it is a date she will never forget. On that day, so many years ago, Piedad Macias and her 7 year old daughter, Ashley checked into the Lewis St. Ronald McDonald House for what would be the first of many stays. Newly diagnosed with Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma and in need of emergency brain surgery, little Ashley and her mother settled into the place they would call home for the next year. After the successful removal of her tumor, Ashley underwent months of chemotherapy and radiation treat- ments. As those months ticked by, Ashley slowly grew stronger, as did the bond the Macias family forged with their fellow guest families and the staff at the RMH. After a long and stressful year of calling San Antonio home, Ashley and Piedad waved goodbye to their new friends and returned home to Laredo, TX. Though she has been in remission since 2011, Ashley must return to San Antonio every few months for bloodwork and follow-ups. We have had the honor of getting to know this remarkable family over the last 12 ½ years and have witnessed Ashley go from a brave lit- tle 7 year old girl to the still brave, self-assured, 20 year old role model she is today. Each family who enters our doors also enters our hearts and inspires us to be brave and stay strong, no matter what challenges we might face.
