Girl Scout Thinking Day is for our service area is March 19th at the Islamic Center. Thinking Day, corny though it may sound, is a day during which Girl Scouts around the world learn and therefore think about each other. Our Troop will be respresenting Haiti, Haitian foods, clothing, cultural traditions, and Girl Scout facts. I know that there are people in Highland Park who have traveled to Haiti and lived in Haiti. I would greatly appreciate your input in helping us create an honorable representation of Haiti. If you have recipies, flags, clothing, information, anything you think might be interesting to girls, aged 5-18 and their families, I would appreciate hearing from you. I have never been to Haiti. Thank you very much, Joan Soulliere, Farragut Street
