Girl Scout Troop 5404 at the Park

I visited with Girl Scout Troop 5404. We met in the park on a beautifull Thursday evening. The troop leaders asked me to read a chapter in ther book Daisy Between Earth and Sky. Its a great book for K though First graders to show them why its importent to save the planet. They had a great time durring the show and already new a lot of things about saving the planet. The girls really like the car too!

My Big Day!

 

There will be a ceremony in my honor this Friday. I was very honored to be nominated and overwhelmed that I won. Several city officials nominated me for this wonderful award. Big thanks to Danielle Shasteen, Roland Pinault and Scott Kammerzell as well as the Mayor of Bentonville Bob McCaslin for nominating me.

The Botanical gardens of the Ozark has awarded me with a "Gardenfest Award" "Longstanding Green Leadership Award" (as i mentioned before) we are finely having the BIG Ceremony. The award ceremony was held April 24th of this year but due to a rain storm that knocked out the power to the gardens the ceremony had to be rescheduled. After a week or two they chose June 19th. Sadly my family and I had been planning a trip out of town for that week and there was no real way to change the our plans so I had to miss the ceremony. After talking to the gardens they said if I pick a place and a time they could hold a small ceremony. So I asked Downtown Bentonville Inc. If I could have it at the August First Fridays? And they said they would be honored to. I contacted everyone involved and the show is on.
this Friday at 5:00pm on the Walton Arts Center stage. A small group from the Botanical Gardens will present me with a 5ft tall Dogwood tree and a plaque with my name and award on on it. I will then donate the tree to the city to be planted in Orchard park. A large park being constructed just down the road from the square. The Mayor along with the the Director of the parks and recreation dept. will be there to except my tree as a donation into the park.
The tree will be planted in a beautiful park and will provide clean air an shade to everyone.
I normally don't like all this attention but everyone tells me that I deserve it. I look at it like this, If others can see what all I do to help Save The Planet! Then maybe they will do more to help out as well. So I guess the attention will help save the planet too. I hope :)
